A Norwegian man's plea that he was racing to get home to use the toilet when he was pulled over for speeding was thrown straight out of court.
A judge fined him £600 and suspended his licence for five months.
The man had been going more than 50 mph above the speed limit when he was caught.
I might have said, 'Well officer, if you are going to send me to court, it might as well be for something good." Then I'd urinate on him.
if it was for the fact that i have to forgive them cos they know not what they do
then id personally like to drown people like that in vats of their own urine
god damn fascist oppressors.....
Is it my imagination, or does six hundred pounds seem awfully excessive for a speeding ticket?
erm it would be here in the uk canada or the us
they must be extra harsh in norway i reckon
its all that viking blood...
i have a friend who was a computer programmer in norway for 2 years and he said everything there was super expensive but people got massive wages to compensate...
lifes a relative thing my friend
And sadly, relatives are your life, whether you like them or not.

Oh, how well I know this to be true!
'They f___ you up, your mom and dad;
They may not mean to, but they do;
They fill you with the faults they had,
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were f_____d up too, in turn,
By fools in old style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern,
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf;
Get out as quickly as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.'
Yes, the wage for the average schmoe in Norway is nearly £30,000 (around $48,000 or something?) and their tax system, like in Sweden, is harsh but great.
$30000 Euros is just over $48000 Canadian. $30000 UK pounds are about $92000 CDN.
sheesh and i thought i had it bad only earning a 1000 quid a week
oh by the way what does drom et reve mean?
i studied french for 6 years at school but ive forgotten most of it
although the name seems kind of latin to me...
I think that "dròm et rêve" might mean "sleeps and dreams," but I'm not very well-versed in other languages. I just wanted to get in my guess before she gave us the real answer!
And now, I sleep!
hahaha
i see your a drom et reve fan from your quote ..smog i think you are more than your average person is too
sweet dreams brother
say hello to the lord morpheus for me when you get to dream land
hehe
well my friend its ok to lie as long as your honest in the end
smog if your still around or when you get up tomorrow drom told me
Quote:Drom et Reve means drowning in the Dream
so you were close dude...
but no cigar 4u
peace and love
byeeeeeeeeee
And you all think the US state troopers don't play...in other countries they will fine you so you WON'T forget soon.
Remind me to use cruise control somebody!!
its not really losing smog
apparently the name is from some weird dead language
ill post her reply so you can see :
Quote:Drom et Reve means drowning in the Dream; my family were mostly ambassadors, and because they spread out, they wanted a language so that there wasn't a learner/fluent stigma. Now there are only a few Avienists left; everyone else speaks English, so they think that there is no use ..
It is rather like Latin; it's very complex. There are many ways of saying just 'the;' (abstract, definitive, indefinitive, plural) and everything is modified depending on whether something's modifying it:
For instance:
Côlmana -- Colman
Dèn cosîem quê ia decitè ad Colmanum - the things that you said to Colman.
Colmanam -- to Be Colman
Colmanat -- Colmanesque
Colmanara -- place in which one can find Colman
etc, etc
i hope she doesnt mind me talking about her when shes not here i feel kind of strange doing this......
