Where are you going to go? All the countries have hilarious leaders right now.

Can I go too?

I'm would also enjoy living over yonder. Let's just get married and go, pls.

You can only live in Norway if you marry a Norwegian, which is why moving is an actual option for Dave, whereas we are screwed.
Norway knows it is one of the best countries on the planet and hold that policy to prevent them from being invaded by people like me.
Why Dave still lives in the US at all when Norway is an option is a huge mystery to me.

Nah, she could just marry me. I have the right to live and work (or even live and not bother working) in Norway by virtue of being British.

I guess that would work assuming she is a firm believer in masochism.

Trump, Clinton or Thork. All three would go out of their way to fuck her in the ass.
-
As much as we all love to hear about Thork's sexual fantasies, can we keep this thread on topic? Please and thank you.

There are other ways to get in such as working permit (but you need a job already) or staying with a family as an au pair. But yeah, really hard. Not like the US at all.
As for why...
Language mostly. I didn't know it and I had a job so she moved here when we got married. Now we're moving back.
Also: Trump sucks.
-
I need you to hook me up, Dave. Find a Norwegian chick and tell her about how you know this cool guy on the Flat Earth Society that
is mildly rich and wants to move there.
Actually, forget the mildly rich part. I'm sure even mildly rich here is poor there.
-
Hey Thork, about that marriage proposal....
-
I suppose I should actually visit before wanting to move there. Pretty dumb fantasy to want to just move to another country.
Time to get really interested in foreign exchange programs.
-
Apply to a university there.
Or, just go for a week (or two) visit.
-
Go and declare asylum.

This is a good idea.
Go and declare asylum.
...this is not.

To be fair, Vindictus lives in Australia. Just about any other country has better asylum seeker policy than we do, so it seems like a good deal to us.

One thing that struck me about Norway was how incredibly antisocial they are, this was particularly evident in Svalbard. How much do you have to hate your neighbours that you find the tiny town of Longyearbyen 'too busy' and decide to live outside the town limits halfway up a snow-covered hillside with polar bears prowling around outside?

That sounds like paradise. I love people who mind their own business and don't try to talk to me too much.

They aren't antisocial, they just like space. Or tend sheep. Usually both.

You'll be stunned to learn that sheep farming in a place that is covered with snow isn't the most profitable enterprise in a land that makes most of its money from North Sea oil, mining and fishing.

You'll be stunned to learn that most of Norway is not covered in snow all year round.

You aren't going to be getting as much sheep sex as you hoped. Norway has a tiny sheep population. There aren't enough to go around.
-
Also, you are going from somewhere reasonably 'free' to somewhere with less freedom.

Australia is 4th, despite all Parsifal's whinging about repressed immigrants and badly treated Abos.

Here is a very relevant reddit thread.

Wow. I don't want to go anymore.
Also, from that Reddit thread you posted:
i'm suspicious because you started a conversation with a random finn and he tolerated it.

So, it looks like they don't really tolerate the cold as well as I thought, and that the extreme cold leaves people stranded indoors, which makes them intolerably introverted. A lot of people in the thread are like "wow, that's amazing, a country full of me!" but actually an almost homogeneously introverted country would suck balls.

It's uncommon for people to talk to you in Australia as well. I haven't spent a lot of time in the US, but people didn't approach me there either. I don't see how it's a special thing among the Scandinavian countries.
-
I found the people of Norway to be wonderful, some of the women are just stunning, the Sognefjord is stunning, but the drink is bloody expensive and there are shit loads of mosquitos.
We were supposed to be driving up to Hell in Finland to send postcards but we never got there.
On the way back we stopped for some muppet Englishman who had left his lights on and flattened his battery, he tied a tow rope around our back axle so we could give him a tow start and when he got going and removed his rope he had fractured our brakes, he just fucked off.
A local garage fixed it so the front brakes worked, for half a bottle of southern comfort as we were running out of money, drove through the night to Gothenburg and slept on a beach, when we woke everyone was naked. Ahh the Scandinavians. have fun.

Probably because you're a dirty aussie

Hey Thork, about that marriage proposal....
Getting it up the ass doesn't sound like of a proposal.

It is an indecent proposal. :-B
