Just a quick update on the new lanquage course, lots of new faces including Croats, Serbs, Nigerians, Hungerians, Londoners, Irish and Americans - once again all of lifes rich tapestry. Now this is a free course, sponsored by the Swedish government, and it seems to be really good. Nice teachers and free pencils, hoorah. The teacher explained where we lie, at present, on the A to D scale of learning Swedish. We can write and read our own Language so we automatically move to B, where we'll be assessed over the next few weeks (I guess) and then maybe moved up if required. Amazingly if you come as an imigrant to Sweden without being able to write or read your own lanquage they will teach you, for free, before you then learn Swedish - how cool is that.

On the bus on the way to Lernia (which is where I'm being taught) heard an English voice so kept an ear open to hear a fellow brit....Jesus, moaning about how shit the buses were here and how in London you did not get barged into or knocked about by people getting on or off...yeah, right, like maybe if your're dreaming and not actually on a real bus....so, this guys annoying me already because nothing sounds worse than a whinging pom, especially one who seems to assume that nobody understands him and then when someone gets onto the bus wearing a top with an English flag he's like, whys he wearing that, whys a Swede wearing the English flag etc etc. Numbnuts. Well, thats my moan out of the way - just a grumpy old bugger I expect, but hey, its a living. Incidentally, the moaning brit is in my punishment wardrobe, he's been there for a while now...........

kinda funny in that mad way people get when they can put any old shit on the internetT33n G1rl Squ4dx0rx!!
