   That would be hilarious if they were! Reminds me of where I'm currently   
   living. Arabians are very rare, and one day we were driving and I saw an   
   arabian. I called out to my wife... "look! an arabian! We have those in   
   sweden!" and lo and beholds... his car was from sweden. ;)

   Ok, I'll give you a few more days. ;) That reminds me... they had for a   
   time on swedish television a tv-show called something like "The neighbour   
   feud" and the idea was to make "reality" TV out of bad neighbourly   
   relationships. One episode which actually made it to the news was between   
   a swedish guy in northern sweden and his gypsy neighbours who had a   
   disagreement about something. It ended up with them shooting at each   
   others with hunting rifles.

   Jameson? I don't know how I should interpret that. I know some whiskey   
   snobs, and Jameson is poison to them. On the other hand, I don't like   
   whiskey at all except for weird, small extremely smoky brands which I   
   never manage to remember, so who am I to judge? ;)
