Originally posted by realityhack View PostDo tell...
Touring with a band back in the 80's and arrived in Norway. Had a great time getting lots of gigs in pubs, clubs, radio and finally TV. Had more work than we could cope with.
At one of the gigs an agent (spit), turned up and insisted we should sign up with him but since we had so much work there was no point and we'd had bad experiences with agents in the past (no tulip).
He complained to the police that we were working in Norway without a work permit, they weren't particularly interested but he kept pushing so eventually they had no choice but to act on his complaint and ultimately escorted us to the ferry and with apologies 'deported' us.
It was coming into the winter so we had equipped the van with snow tires (very expensive), and left the originals behind, much fun driving around London with illegal metal studded snow tires - they make a lot of noise.
Haven't been back since but always planned to, booze was expensive but mostly paid for and all those wee blonde babes...Comment

Poor taste yes. Funny. Not bad.
Fook me, it never fails to amaze me how a number of posters get so precious and bedwetty over a bad taste joke or comment on here and are happy to join a mob against a poster.
For the record I thought it was a clever joke.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Maybe I'm a little detatched from the awfulness of the Oslo atrocity, or maybe I'm just very happy at the moment (yet sober, strangely) that I didn't consider the gravitas of the situation with my original comment. Sorry for any offence caused everyoneComment

For the record, it makes you look like even more of a turd.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
