Nordic Connections



Scotland's connections with Norway received a boos the other day with the news that Glasgow Celtic have signed the Norwegian midfield player, Stefan Johansen (23), for a reputed transfer fee of £2 million.  

 Celtic fans will be hoping that their new signing makes a bigger impact than the last big Norwegian name to grace Parkhead because if I remember correctly, that was Harald Brattback a goalscorer who arrived in Glasgow with a big reputation, but who failed to live up to his billing.

 Now Harald was a lovely intelligent chap, slightly built and clean-cut, who was scoring goals for fun both before and after his time in Glasgow, yet for long spells with Celtic he simply couldn't find the net - couldn't buy a goal, as they say.   

So I hope Stefan Johansen fares a bit better - it's about time Celtic had another star player from Scandinavia to set the fans' pulses racing again.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
