These cast ladies jumped at me in Brussels last week. One of them is signed (RK########MJ) and has the Royal Krona sticker - so I know it is Matts Jonasson from 1975-1977. But what are these ladies? Eskimo? Pocahontas?
-
Not sure you can call those people Eskimo anymore, they're Inuit aren't they? :-\ :)
-
Hi Ivo,
They are eskimo/Inuit ladies.
-
Great :hiclp: that is what I was hoping for - I seem to have quite a collection of inuits, they're following me around. Though not quite sure if you can combine vikings, trolls, polar bears and inuits in one display case. ;D
-
Or the Swedish Sami (Lapplanders)
-
Hi Ivo, why not?
Just make sure you have the Inuit a safe distance from the polar bears ;D The trolls and the Vikings will either kill one other or come to some kind of understanding " Right then , you can have one of ours this week, and we'll grab one of you next week, OK?"
( On the other hand, feed the trolls to the polar bears and let the Vikings try to find the clever Inuit in the frozen wastes)
-
:hiclp: :hiclp: :hiclp: Great reply ;D ;D ;D - I'll see if they understand eachother (speaking Danish, Swedish and Norwegian) and throw a party or they all get depressend and want to talk about it....
-
From what I remember from the Scandi publishing parties I used to go to, the Norwegians and the Swedes will get on like a house on fire, but will both be painfully polite to the Danish, who they think are miserable and not really Scandinavian....
The Danish will look down their noses at the Swedes and Norwegians , as they think they are way above them in any case...
-
OJ! That's really hurtful :'( we don'tlook down our noses at anybody, especially not the Norwegians, they're our mates! We're very polite to the Swedes 'cos they are very polite to us. And because we feel a bit sorry for them, they weren't great shakes as Vikings ;)
-
Awwww poor Aine, I think I'm going to have to set Holger Dansk onto Lynne for that comment! >:D

Hej! I didn't mean to be hurtful... just silly

Actually, it was only at the publishing parties I found this and I had to ask someone what it was all about... which was when I was told of the varying alliances. But to be fair, it was a long time ago.
Perhaps these feelings have all gone away now, like us and the French >:D
-
That's OK, ;D
