Heh, I noticed the Arthur Miller and Flashman references, too...
I live in Horsens, about half an hour south of Aarhus, Denmark's second largest city.

Ah I haven't been that far north, but I spent some time in Denmark both on holiday near Esbjerg and on a 'teacher exchange visit' near Odense.
I loved the laid back aspect to life!
Cheers
Roger
BTW Flashman has references to more than one literary writer.... if you interpret the lieterary in a wide sense.
I have never made it to Aaarhus, a shame as I love Heaney's poem 'Tollund Man'

The Go-Between... a fantastic evocation of turn of the century Edwardian England.. 14 years before it all was destroyed in Flanders...

Well now, the first day of a new year, and allied HQ have been pondering their maps to evaluate how well the Japanese onslaught is progressing. What follows is a series of maps from which all sensitive deployments have been taken.... walls have ears dontcha know?
The red marker shows the extent of the Japanese conquests to date, a red area circled is an area taken but not securely joined to the rest of their empire yet.....
Ok, careless lips sink ships.......
