Colourful Scandinavian Houses


While at the MCM London Comic Con I was next to the Polish artist Kinga (she has a patreon too) who told me about the word Kurwa.

This is not the first time England has been peeping.

Awww, no 100th birthday wishes for Finland yet? (It’s okay, we give you until midnight before we break out the molotovs. I know, I’m too kind.)

Yes - where's the special birthday greeting for Finland?

I was looking forward to seeing all the other Nordic countries celebrate Finland and possibly even the Finnish characters smiling?

I mean once in a hundred years it might be OK to smile at least?

Happy 100 Finland!

I know it's a meme and a joke that's older than me, but why does everyone think Ikea furniture is so impossible? I have assembled no less than two beds at midnight with a dog insisting my lap was a pillow. Is it because people don't look at the instructions? Because you do kinda need those.

Come now, it isn't _that_ hard to assemble IKEA stuff. The trick is to read ahead to see what it's gonna look like, which usually helps in figuring out why certain seemingly illogical steps must come first, and then follow it very carefully (down to noticing exactly which of the several types of screws in the box go where and when), and then it's usually fine. Most people I know here in Sweden have multiple IKEA objects in their home, and I am no exception. It used to be of lower quality which is probably where it gets its bad rep in (primarily) America from, but it's improved vastly since then. :)

I don't get why so meny people on the internet jokes about the impossibility of assembling IKEA furniture. I mean it's not even that confusing, just follow the usually very clear instructions that comes with your package. It's as easy as building LEGO and even a 5 year old child can do that.

Come on, now - England may be dull, but Scandinavia certainly doesn't have a monopoly on colourful houses! Check out our local Welsh harbour town:
