Fair Enough. Though CFC seems to have gotten off lightly compared to the boring dystopia most of the internet has become.

A few familiar faces, in a vague sense, and a few more names that engender some degree of recognitions. Given that my most active years here were 2001-2003, I would surmise that most of that era's crowd is gone, like tears in virtual rain.

Is that a confirming no or a contradicting noNo!
How have your politics meandered recently? Did you mature into progressivism? Did you pívot for full Bronze Age Pervert-ism?

@Snerk Your latest picture in the photos thread reminded me of a couple years back when you mentioned you'd go down to Malmö to say hello when I visited. For various reasons, that never happened, but I may be there, finally, later this summer. (Emphasis on the "may be.") Of course, since then, you've gone and had yourself a kid and family. I am guessing your mobility these days to travel around is limited, even if you bring them along, but I wanted to at least check in about it.

I would love to! Unfortunately Tromsø - Malmo is quite a trek so I'd have to book a flight. Funds are sadly not unlimited so I fear it's optimistic. But who knows!
In similar news I'm spending a week in Crete this summer so I expect @Kyriakos to stroll by one day and offer me an ice cream.

Ah jeez, why did I think you were in Oslo? That's so far.
Optimistic is definitely a word that can be used... I'll check in closer to the time, just to do my due diligence. But absolutely no worries if it can't happen.
Maybe start telling your partner all the wonderful things she can see and do in the great city of Malmö.

Oslo? How dare you..
Crete is only the average distance of a euro country from Thessalonike ^^
Tromso is further north than Narvik!!

Just around the corner then!
Narvik, pfft, bunch of lazy southerners...
I only know of Narvik because of WW2. I did learn today that the Battle crusier Tripitz was sunk off your town. Is it still resting on the bottom?

Some of it was scrapped but a lot of the ship is still there yeah. I think what's left if mostly buried in mud by now though.

All this reminds me of the part from Curry and Rice where someone mentions he has been posted to India, so a lady asks him whether he would run into her cousin George, who is also serving a posting in India, eventually transpires that the cities each has been posted to are at least a thousand miles apart
The assumptions some people have about countries!
Back in 1987 a friend and I went to Spokane for a Doctor Who fan event (meeting Sylvester McCoy, who was on a cross-U.S. tour of PBS stations to promote his taking over the role of the Doctor). It was Labor Day weekend, and my friend came from Calgary to pick me up, and off we went (not telling my grandmother that the guy who was supposed to go with us - another Whovian friend - couldn't make it; "having a man along for protection" had been the condition she'd put on letting me go
).
So when we got to the KSPS studio the next day, the station manager said to us, "You gals're from Calgary? There's four fellas here from Edmonton. Maybe y'all know each other!"
Calgary and Edmonton each have over a million people, and even back in 1987 Red Deer wasn't tiny. Even though it was possible that we might have met them before at one of the two annual science fiction conventions that went on in Alberta back then, they turned out to be four complete strangers.
