I love reading good news like this smiling smiley

Norway is considering giving Finland a mountain
as a gift for the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence

But the mountain will have to apply to join the EU. I believe there's going to be a place free soon...

me too... I may change my name to mountainbay




The more I think of this, the cooler it is.
All too often we hear of countries only doing/saying the dumb aggressive mean stupid things to each other...


So to hear a country say they are considering giving another country a present,
and not just a little gift, BUT A WHOLE MOUNTAIN!! That is awesome! smileys with beer

Well, they can have my garage, if they want. I leave the door open sometimes hoping that someone will come and steal all the junk in it.

Not trying to get political (perish the thought!), but sometimes it's nice to play nice.

I am not sure how/why Denmark claims ownership, it is a long way from home... but/and they seem to get the short end of the stick for traveling so far for the bottle of booze, while Canada can just row across... but it seem Denmark handles the affairs for yadda yadda yadda... while it seems Greenland should yadda yadda... but IDK. I am glad they are having fun with it, cuz fun is a good thing to have.

Rolling Hansie island [www.google.com]

But actually, it seem pretty cut and dry that this island really belongs to
Rolling Hansie... the island has his name on it... and Hans may have a
claim to some of the booze that has been passed back and forth over the years...

Cool info Jambay! On behalf of Canada, I might be willing to cede the island to Hansie, but only if he promises to share it with his bride, A.
