Oh yes [:D]

I moved to Stockholm just some 1.5 years ago. Before that I lived in Luleå for 44 years. I even had a LHF season card for ~15 years up until the mid-nineties.

Anyway, congratulations on the win, even if it felt like a robbery! [:'(][:D]

You live in Gävle?

Oh oh. Isn't this how viking raiding parties get started? [:'(] [:-]

Morning gents, guest what... I'm in hospital, sitting on a hospital bed typing this out on my laptop. I have access fluid around my organs and stomach, which is not too serious in itself. But not much fun when they drain some off with a big needle.

I went to the my Doctor 2x days ago with swollen feet and lower legs, and ended up in hospital in our Provençal city. I think I'll stay away from my Doctor in future. So apparently I'm stuck here until they find the what is happening.

Jeez, Des! Hope you recover quickly! [:(]

@ Stuman: Nice new siggy. She'd look much better with a 53cm-torpedo-induced water column shooting a couple hundred feet in the air by her midsection, but I'm biased. [:'(]

[:D]


This is my first, feeble attempt at such a thing. I have no clue what I am doing, so decided to go with a real picture I could cut down. Then decided to use a very simple description. Man do I have a lot to learn. This is all I could muster up during tax season. I will keep working on it [:)]

As an aside, I did a little research on the Tennessee's tour of duty. Sort of interesting how Art imitates life. She was awarded 10 Battle stars. She mainly supported ground troops one way or another,getting to blow the crap out of more than a dozen islands. She also participated in the Battle of Surigao Strait. And that is pretty much what my BB's do in my game, blow up stuff on land, and MAYBE get in a scrap with an enemy BB now and again [:)]


(2nd attempt to post this, wierd)


The Tennessee is my favorite BB from the ones sitting in Pearl Harbor on December 7, mainly because I was born in Savannah, Tennessee while dad was the historian at Shiloh battlefield. So guess what happened at the start of my PBEM against ChezDaJez? Yep, the Tennessee was the only BB sunk in his attack... [:(]

I have been all over that place ! Made the trip dozens of times through the years.

Bookstore in Iceland

(I’m assisting a tourist that is looking for a t-shirt to take home with pictures of Iceland on them.)

Me: “Well, we don’t sell those t-shirts but there are quite a few of them down town and I know of one that has a 3 for 2 special offer on t-shirts.”

Customer: “Could you also explain to me what a 3 for 2 offer is?”

Me: “Sure, it means that you get 3 t-shirts for the price of 2.”

Customer: “I don’t understand, so we steal the 3rd one? Isn’t shoplifting illegal here like in the states?”

Me: “Yes, shoplifting is illegal here, but you wouldn’t be stealing the 3rd shirt. It just means that you choose 3 t-shirts and pay for 2 and then get the 3rd as a free gift sort of.”

Customer: “I don’t get it.”

Me: “You choose 3 t-shirts, and as the sales person scans them in to the register you get a 100% discount on the 3rd t-shirt. Therefore, you’ll get it for free with the other 2.”

Customer: “I’ll go down there, but if they arrest me for shoplifting, I’m telling the police that you told me to!”

Then I suppose you remember the 92/93-season? I had a season card that year hehe

But yeah, those were easily the most undeserved two points this season. However, we did deserve to win the penalty shootout.

Nope, Sthlm now. Grew up there though.

After we moved away in '59 I have only had one chance to visit it - back in '85. I was surprised to see a small plaque commemorating dad's work on the wall by the door to the superintendent's office when I was there. I have no idea if it is still there, but I'll wager that the visitor's center is still the same building.

I was last there about five years ago, and nothing had changed [:)]

As for yesterdays game, LHF have no one to blame but themselves. Creating that many scoring chances without doing goals is supposed to be punished. They are at least creating those chances, and I pity the team that's meeting us when we start to score on at least a small percentage of those.

Agree with you on the penalities also. Silverbergs penalty shots were real beauties.

One interesting thing is that all the times we have met in a playoff, we have eliminated you. The only time you won the championships, we did not reach the playoffs (or were eliminated earlier, I dont recall).

Well, I just hope we reach the playoffs and dont have to qualify...its so tight down there right now Im having nightmares about getting sucked into that.
