I'm moving to Norway

Ok I've been to Norway the once and really loved it, the scenery is awesome, plenty of snow for long periods of the year so some really good skiing and snowboarding can be had. There has only been one problem that has held me back all this time and that was the price of alcohol - it's one of the most expensive places in the world to drink, and I must admit I do like the occasional snifter.

Not anymore though, as a young lady found out one day when she turned on her taps to find not water flowing out but glorious golden beer. Hallelujah, party on!

What really happened was her apartment was above a bar and some considerate fellow had somehow connected up her mains water pipe to the beer line!

Now what I would of done was call up my mates and have a party, unfortunately the bar downstairs managed to get a plumber out to reconnect the water - damn Norwegian efficiency. If that had happened in the UK you would of still been able to party on, as the plumber wouldn't of been able to get to you until a week on Tuesday and still would of shown up 6 hrs late. Then again if it probably has happened already in the US but no-one has noticed as their beer tastes of water anyway!
