I've come to the conclusion that the only way i'm going to stop mine getting worse is to go private.

Hi Johnny, yes my grandfather (min farfar en skurk) was from Gotland. I thought he had just left me an interesting tale to tell, but seems he left my this too! Probably far too late, but I've given up drinking as after the cancer treatment, I can't taste it anyway. Has any of your afflicted family have it successfully "repaired" ? Andy, taler du saa Dansk? Og var din farfar virkelig en skurk? Could be a good tale in itself... Cheers, Ian Ja, det var han. Enligt några berättelser måste han "komma ut" från Sverige istället för att bara flytta ut och nekades tillträde på Ellis Island och lyckades så komma till England där han bosatte sig. Han hade en tendens att förföra unga tjejer, och jag har antagligen mycket mer relationer än jag är medveten om. Han inrättade en framgångsrik översättningspartner i London som slutade ganska plötsligt när en tysk bomb föll genom taket i juni 1917. Han lämnade sin "fru" och två eller tre barn utan sinne.
(Yes he was. According to some stories he "had to get out" of Sweden rather than simply emigrate, and was refused admittance on Ellis Island, and so managed to get to England where he settled. He had a tendency to seduce young girls, and I probably have far more relations than I'm aware of. He set up a successful translation partnershp in London which ended rather suddenly when a German bomb fell through the roof in June 1917. He left his "wife" and two or three children penniless).
Jag talar inte mycket danska eller svenska även om jag hade en swedanisk flickvän i sju år. men jag är snygg på google översätt!

I've not heard of this condition before but it sounds highly debilitating and thoroughly unpleasant - I hope you afflicted people find an (affordable) medical resolution. Interested to hear of the "viking blood" connection, and wonder if it's more prevalent than average in the North East of England which is where I'm from? I've always suspected that those poor innocent vikings were probably ravaged by my female ancestors as they waded ashore. Though I'm actually of Irish extraction so probably more prone to potato blight. That made me laugh out loud, but, you are aware that it was the Vikings that established Dublin aren't you?

Did they? The little buggers.
I never understood why they didn’t leave more of a tangible legacy, being so dominant and widespread as they were in their time.
Need to read up on their history - I’d always assumed that their demise was due either to a global shortage of horns or the fact that they discovered they were very good at tennis.
