Bit and Pieces

[snaps]

Re personal income and taxation details. These are official documents in Sweden, they're not freely available but for a small fee you can get hold of them. Are these kept secret from anyone except the authorities in the UK?

You freakin bet they are confidential !!! Must be a strange Swedish custom, but here people like me get very touchy about other people knowing how wealthy I am I see even that birthday interview with Alex mentions her tax worth.

I'm so poor now, for a ''small fee'' you can get hold of me

[Agnes&Elin Forever!]

Yes maybe it is a strange custom

[Ian]

But I'm offended.
I've been calling him names like "Ian Hult", "Doctor Hult", etc. and he doesn't even seem to have noticed.
He might just be thick skinned.
Either that or he's ignoring me.
Naaah. That couldn't be it.

Did someone say something?

Seems I am not the only one who thought Rebecka would have been a sure fit for Lisbeth Salander. Here's a quote from sodamazes blog, google translated to English

"Although it is not going to change now and in the role of Mikael Blomkvist, I liked Samuel Fröler or Jacob Eklund. Fast, better still, no more unknown actor. As Lisbeth Salander, I think Mylaine Hedreul or Rebecka Liljeberg had been fitted. You know she was in the Show Me Love? Conveniently enough, I read that she is good at computers, but unfortunately she seems to have ended as an actor. "

... but unfortunately she seems to have ended as an actor. "

Never give up hope.

I have a cunning plan.

If we all concentrate for an hour a day, say at 9:00am GMT, the force of our combined willpower will be enough to convince her to make a comeback in the new year, after graduation.

If that fails I have an even more cunning plan involving voodoo dolls and the forcefull application of shoe leather. Details will follow if needed.

This isn't Doctor Who, you know.

And I thought that cunning plan was a fish original.

Was that the episode where DW got really, really, really old until everyone in the world said his name at the same time?
So there's a precedent for this plan to work then?

[Ian]

That would be the one. Not that obscure a joke, then!


You might need to walk the earth for a year to spread the word, though, fish. That aforementioned shoe leather will certainly come in handy there.

No time like the present, you know (hint, hint).

Interesting that in a poll carried out by Nojesbladet in July 2007 for which actress should play Lisbeth Salander of six nominees Rebecka came 3rd. OK a rough third with 8.5% of the vote (the two front runners were Rakel Wärmländer on 22.1%, and Tuva Novotny on 55.9%, neither of whom got the part). But considering that Bex would not even have been available to play the part shows that among the 19,639 people who voted there is still a deep affection and appreciation for Rebecka.

[Ian]

And 6 years after her last film, too.

Yeah, that is pretty cool.

[fish]

Not sure if this is a bit or a piece. I mean, it's almost a nothing.

2nd from bottom.

It's the first time I've even found an acknowledgement that she's a student.
I was trying to find details of graduating students, in particular the ones studying paediatrics.

Got this far and then my pc had a conniption.

[Ian]

You make a highly impressive stalker, fishy.

It froze up for me. Is it a photo, or just a mention?

[fish]

Just a mention unfortunately. Barely a mention.
