Sea Stallion

Eric the Red: You can say what you like about pickled herring, but in Roskilde they do it better than Bryggen.

Harald Bluetooth: But in both places the herring cannot be taken without beer, ja?

Eric the Red: So, I come here for that too. I cannot afford it in Bryggen. The tithes, aach. But there is also...

Harald Bluetooth: Yes?

Eric the Red: I am sailing on the Sea Stallion.

Harald Bluetooth: You? You´re sailing for Dublin this summer?

Eric the Red: Ja. Resurrect the past. Roskilde to Dublin. The excitement of expeditions and exploration. A hundred horn-helmeted men on an oak longship. Oh ho.

Harald Bluetooth: Not to mention plenty of piracy, pillaging and plundering.

Eric the Red: Not to mention the unmentionable. Ha.

Harald Bluetooth: Take care, friend, The Irish will be ready this time.

I'm wondering if they have Viking Dramas on TV there, like they do Samurai Jidaigeki in Japan. :oP

Blog title doesn't seem to have anything (apart from rollover highlighting) to let you know its a hyperlinked title.

Ya, ya, the equivalent of chambara jidaigeki is ABBA reruns. ;-)
Thanks for highlighting the lack of highlighting. Working on a flashing green neon light saying Click Me.

Biggest Swedish export earner in the 70s was Volvo. Number 2 was ABBA. The appreciation of Scandinavian design is, shall we say, catholic?

Catholic as in general? Reminds me of what that chap in Helvetica asked: "Why is bad taste ubiquitous?"
