GBC,I assume that as you consider the extras button a rip off!
you never used it,would that be correct?
Where are you going carp fishing in Sweden?
try Borlange in the north,or Skayne in the south ,they both have excellent carp fishing.


The extra's caused no end of problems and you know it did.
Yes I used it, as the basic fare was so low back then, it's not now.
If you've worked over the festive period, you will know how much problems the £4 extra charge causes, and that's just for a few days.

I've never mourned it's passing, and I'm confident it won't be back.

I'll be fishing at the lake which is about 100 yards in front of my front door in the lake at Malmsjon.

Moaning would cover that, 'gnola och gnalla'.

Of course you can't spell it correctly as our keyboards don't have the required 29 letters which make up Swedish.

That's the beauty of dual nationality andf the ability to speak Swedish . . . har det sa bra alskling eller snophuvud? :wink:

So what's wrong with using Characher Map on your computer for the rest of the letters & symbols in any language?

I tried that "Gnola och Gnalla" in the translator and it came up as "Hum and Whine"...so I guess its pretty much a good self decription of yourself.

as for the har det sa bra alskling eller snophuvud? well none of the words would translate...Im guessing you talk a load of bull in order to appear the Bi linguist that your ceratainly not, knowing of course that we are unlikely to call your bluff. Im just wondering if there is any real swedish people that can Vouch for your Bull. the trouble is with some people they live off a false image of who they are and where they came from..in this case a tenous link to a place that was not obviously good enough to be your home for all these years past and for where little national loyalty seems to have applied. yet when it comes crawling back to a rejected homeland after Milking the kindness of the Great people of britain who gave you all you have. it is a second betrayal of nationality.. its good you go because it is less of a burden for us all...bon voyage ASAP.

Such anger and bile, your heading towards a very early retirement.

But then again you don't actualy exsist, you're just another alter ego from an already established troll.

From now on I and several others will be ignoring 'you', your alter ego contributes nowt to the forum.

Bon voyage indeed. :D

youve lost it Mate!!

Besides if im ignored by you thats a Plus and not a Negative...but Oh please..just dont seem to think that others are all on your side or as a thinned skinned...truth is the Bile Originates from within yourself, its like A cancer gnawing at your bones..you have become Bitter and Twisted and carry a huge chip on your Shoulder. you feel nothing to the people that contributed to your finacial comfort..in short the nation can only benefit from your Imminent retirement and departure. as for others in here ignoring me, its their choice and their choice alone...although id find it very difficult to believe that you have any friends or Influence in here other than that from within your own Imagination. from all the posts ive read to date nothing Indicates much love in your direction....


Bye GBC....its nice knowing im not on your Christmas Card list.

Strangely enough computers are'nt that big a part of my life Mr Brummiecab, but feel free to direct me to the link, as you may know there's an extra 3 letters in the Scandinavian languages.

Given that the entire population of Sweden speak better English than most folks who post on here, I've never felt the need to send e-mails to my relations in anything else but English, but with phone calls as cheap as they are nowadays, as Busby said 'it's quicker to call'

But then according to some cretins, I'm Swedish? Or is that English. No, wait, that'll be Scottish? :D

If you are using Microsoft Windows (any) then it's 99% certain that you already have it installed on your computer with the Microsoft package.

It should be in your start-up menu, but if not you will have to search for it.

Character Map is a programme of fonts. Once you have found it choose which font you want & scroll down the window to choose which foreign letter you wish to use within that window. Click on it, copy it & paste it into your post, Word document, whatever.

Most of the fonts have varying numbers of letters & symbols, some a great deal more than others.

It's a bit slow, but at least you have all the letters of the Western? alphabet, but obviously not Chinese, Japanese, Russian (perhaps) etc.

Here's an example of what you can do;

I've enlarged them so you can see better.

© Ç ë ĉ ± ǽ Ł € Ú ß ą Ő ∑ ¿ ™ † ₧ Ω ≠ å ≥ Ǿ ź ﺶ ¥ Ħ ń Φ ♣ ♂ ψ Щ א ť ύ

etc, etc.
