Sure! - Anders was on a trip - I was his host!

Oh sorry, but there is IMO a good reason for
that, ACs reports here are also important
sources, and our future references about
this meeting of ours. Seen in this light my
minor corrections should make complete sense!

Ecsactly! I served in the Norwegian Navy, but
at a deposit, I was not one of the marines
(special trained naval soldiers).

Correct, but the cheese slicer is much more
typical Norwegan. By using the correct word
the whole sentence makes much more sence as
it would apear to be a Norwegian souvenir
- not only another nice kitchen tool.

Anyway - I hope that AC hasn't misunderstood
anything of this - I have meant no harm with
my corrections!
