Finnish as worse for the drink than Norweigans I'd say.
I once did a project with the Finnish prison authority, they came to Belfast for meeting.
Meeting commenced in boardroom at 9am and 1 particular bloke opened his briefcase and brought out his this bottle proclaiming "Your like yin" (Thats gin to you and I)
Yeah big man I like gin, but not at 9 o'clock in the morning.

Next time offer him one of these.....
Bull Shot - the perfect early morning pick-up
4 shots of vodka, or more if you wish
250ml canned beef consommé (soup will need diluting if concentrated)
4-5 drops of Tabasco sauce to taste
2tbsp Worcestershire sauce
The juice of 1 lime
1tsp celery salt
A few turns of black pepper
Cheers

The guy I'm working with is called Knut too.
I've not picked up signals that they're **** heads mind. And I've met a few people out there. Russia is worst for that. Vodka every morning after 11am meeting.... Rest of the day becomes a blurr.....

Interesting points of view.
I have spent a lot of time in Norway and for sure the women come from the right side of the gene pool in comparison to our English sisters................
Norwegian women are also incredibly forward so you usually find they chat you up which is rather disconcerting.
On the downside taxes are ridiculous although considering how much we get taxed nowadays and how much we are going to get taxed soon the differential is almost non-existent.
Yes beer is very expensive and strange tasting.
One thing no one has mentioned is that Subaru Impreza 05 model will cost you about £50,000 a brand-new one will cost you about £75,000. Also Subaru's are pretty much worshipped as one of the ultimate cars over there due to the rally heritage.
Two years ago a friend of mine purchased a brand-new BMW 750 il it cost him approximately £250,000. My main gripe with the Norwegians is their absolutely nuts policies on car ownership. This is even more surprising when you consider how much of the economy is held up by oil. Petrol is also slightly more expensive than it is here in the UK.
oh yes if you get caught speeding twice to go to prison for a few weeks!!!
