A somewhat obscure topic but a useful one - Cheers. Before drinking in Sweden people raise their glasses and say things like "for health", "for peace", "for summer" etc. I'd like to hear some more original and funny ones. I've got one from Groucho Marx "Here's to our wives and...

I imagine that there has got to be some jazz compfiles out there. I play the saxophone every now and then but do not have any band to play with and it gets boring to play without drums or bass. So a soundfile with a nice jazzcomp, preferably with drums, bass and piano, would be really nice...

I'm looking for soundfiles of applause, laughter, a fire and that "good-joke-drum-riff". I'm having this idea of having all these sound effects during a party. Every time someone makes a joke I either put on Laughter, applause or even better the "good-joke-drum". During the party we'll have a...

I have Normans firewall and I think I accidentally might have blocked my university's site which means that I can't access my e-mail. I have gone through the program a hundred times but I can't find a place where I can remove sites from the "block-list". And it doesn't actually help if I shut...

On the radio today they played a song that sounded very much like Snoop Dogg's "Drop it like it's hot". The radiovoice then said that that both songs have a typical "New York - sound". I can imagine that it could be called breakbeat. Do you know any other songs that either belongs to whatever...

I got my interrail pass today. So tomorrow I'll fly to Barcelona and after that I'll travel east to Croatia. Then I'll continue travelling around in Eastern Europe for about three weeks, by train of course. ;) I figured that I'll pass many places where people on the forum have either lived...

I have not got an answer to an e-mail I sent a couple of days ago. I have heard that there are ways to find out if someone has opened the mail. Anyone who knows of such a program or setting? I use outlook express.

Paolo_Montero inspired me to make this thread when talking about pogs in another thread. :) When I was a kid there were certain commercial things that the entire school or even country got all hooked up with. It was usually about collecting, in this way the companies could squeeze the most...

The South african Retief Goosen is leading with three strokes with only one more round to go in this years US Open. He has been in this situation before after winning both last year and 2001. I had put my bets on Garcia but after a good start he fell back in the third round, now 8 strokes behind...

When the pope died I came to think of something. Italy seems to be the most catholic country in the world. One of the foundations in the catholic life is that the sunday is the resting day when you should not do any bodywork at all. I suppose people don't care very much for that anymore but...

I am considering to buy one of the two football games "Pro evolution soccer" or "FIFA". But to be honest the only reason I even think of paying money for the game is for me to be able to play it online. :) So I would like to know if anyone here plays any of the games on the internet and if so...

Are there any people here on the forum who are going to watch the game in Stockholm on wednesday? There are still a few swedes here and perhaps some of our scandinavian friends are going.

So far we haven't had a thread on this forum about riffs. So it's about time. My little list would be something like this. 1. Back in Black - AC/DC Definetly the coolest riff ever made, combined with Brian Johnson's vocals it makes me want to dance or at least smash something. I...

There are political duscussions going on here at the moment despite what the rules say. Infected subjects as abortion and terrorism are discussed. We are even discussing imigration I see, that could become a killer for you Martin. Your site could be shut down and put into trial. In Sweden...

After Sweden lost on penalties to Holland last month I was of course very sad. It felt really unfair to lose on penalties especially after those two big chances we had in extra time. At that time I thought it was the worst possible way of losing. The day after Denmark was humiliated with a...

First the EURO sucks and then the weather is even worse. COld and raining all the time. SO far I have had two sunny days and I almost had to force myself to take shorts those two days. Last year we were complaining about the bad weather as well but because of completely other reasons. It was...

I think this game needs its own thread. The swedish team has three new faces on the midfield, Anders Andersson, Mattias Jonsson and Kim Källström, all class players. Källström is one of my favourites after his years in Djurgården, but I doubt that he will be successful in this game as he...

Found an interesting interview with Buffon about sex. Here are a few of the questions: Have you ever been with a man? No, not yet Have you ever thought about it? Many times! Who has got the biggest? The legend "Tino" Asprilla had a... which was very beautiful to watch...

I have a couple of movies on my computer which I can't fast-forward, becuase then either the sound and picture are not synchronized and sometimes the movie even refuse to play. This happens with all types of .wmw movies, with some .avi movies and today even two mpeg films. I always use...

A move to Juventus for Zlatan Ibrahimovic is coming closer. Capello was interested in Zlatan during his time in Roma and Zlatan is a much better player now. It is already clear that Ibrhimovic will leave Ajax and I will not be surprised if Zlatan is declared a Juventus player before the 12 june...
