On the newspapers websites :

"Oslo need blood donors with blood type 0 (zero minus) - only registered donors please".

There's a new restaurant in Trondheim - in the grounds (actually in the walls) of the old fort overlooking Trondheim and the harbour.

This Saturday I git up at around 05:00 to take a taxi to Heathrow

- From there to Oslo

- From Oslo to Trondheim - arriving at the house around 13:30.

And on Sunday I left the house just before 13:00 to go to Trondheim Airport Værnes

- From here to Oslo Airport Gardermoen

- From here to Stavanger Airport Sola

- From here to Heathrow.

Picked up by my wife and taken home - arriving around 20:00.

So in other words 5 flights and 4 airports for a birthday party In Trondheim.

And then Wikipedia gives us a insight into my story about the extortion scam Thai police/mafia is running - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_police - see the section on conduct. This seems to indicate that extortion of parents by holding their kids hostage is common practice.

So in other words a thoroughly unpleasant country - so no more holidays there - ever.

Best in the world (I think)
