    Apparently some guy got into some trouble a couple og thousand years ago and as a result everything in Norway closes for a week once a year. And I always bloody forget.

      @neph93 In Germany we call it Tanzverbot (dancing ban). One of the many privileges the Catholic and Lutheran churches still enjoy here, although it varies between states

        I always like this week. One of my annual highlights. But here shops are only closed friday, sunday and monday.

          @Tago-Mago that same dancing ban was still in effect when I moved here, as was any form of card-playing. It’s gone now as things relax a bit. But the whole separation of church and state takes time, it would seem.

          Having walked around town in the sunshine all day (without being able to buy a coffee), I’ll downgrade this rant to a moan. Some cafe’s and restaurants are opening at 3pm. Although only the small ones run by immigrants. Multiculturalism for the win.

            @endo it has its good sides for sure. It’s beautifully quiet around town as anyone with access to a cabin (most ethnic Norwegians) is there. It also usually coincides with the first period of warmer weather (3-10C), and the days are already decently long. The cultural/historical hangover is a massive PITA though.

              Mentally it‘s the end of winter, irrespective of the actual temperature or what‘s still coming.

                  So Footloose? @neph93 you need to liberate the town through dance. Why haven’t you done this yet?

                    @Matt Yes! I can see it now, me gambolling along the high street in Wesco’s, with a bum knee, like a geriatric Fame vignette. An inspiration to all. I’ll get right onto it. Not.

                        @Matt said in Random Rants:

                        Don’t forget the feathered hair.

                        Any kind of hair is a physical impossibilty and still not the greatest challenge associated with the task at hand.

                          @Matt what’s the name for what they become two months before the wedding? I’ve been scouring through the dictionary but can’t seem to get past the letter C

                          In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                I hope you’re joking, but if you’re not walk away…it will be cheaper now and better for everyone involved in the long run.

                                    @goosehd well, not joking about the behavior. Partially joking about the nausea. Entirely foreseeing the being wrong for the rest of my life. Haha

                                      My brother in law joked the same before his wedding, and I warned him…

                                      He had 3 kids and was married for about 6-7 years. Things got really messy and it took him about 5-6 years to finalize his divorce. It will take him a lifetime to pay everyone and everything off.

                                        @Mizmazzle brother!! It’s a leap of faith. Of course she rules… you wouldn’t be this far along. But it takes work, and you’ll question everything. My wife is the BIGGEST pain in the ass and our marriage is always evolving. But I’m no walk in the park either. And she says she likes me… most of the time.
                                        But yea, man. It’s a leap. Only you can know.
                                        PS. I was single until I knocked up my wife and we eloped. I was 44 at the time. All in all, best damn happy accident that ever happened to me.
