Apparently, TV4 (who own ekonominyheterna.se) stole the domain realtid.nu, which made Realtid.se really angry. Soo, Realtid.se stole ekonominyheterna.nu and redirected it to a German gay porn site.
You’d think it couldn’t get any sillier than that TV4 pressed charges against Realtid.se and now the verdict came – Realtid.se won the dispute. Even funnier! And it gets better with the comment made by Jonas Wiven-Nilsson at Realtid.se who said to Dagens Media:
- It is not the first time that someone has tried to force us into action by threatening us with lawyers and such, but we whooped their ars. Next time they have to do their homework better, this is getting tiring.
Funny but yet tragic how two leading companies who both have businesses conveying something as serious, pretentious and super boring as business news would carry on like this.
It goes to show that we’re just human, and we retaliate in the same way as children in the sand box.
Robbie Williams has also done his fair deal of fighting in Stockholm. When he attended the Stockholm MTV-gala in 2000 he punch a producer in the face, downs a bodyguard who tried to make him not take cocaine, urinates (!!) on the hotel wall and tops the evening of by falling asleep under one of his own bodyguards who is sitting on Robbies chest in order to calm him down.
After a world of fuss I’m going to Göteborg and Ullevi on Saturday to se Robbie Williams in concert. This is going to be so much fun. Tjohoooooo!! =)
Axl and his new band came to the Globe arena and the 13500 people in the audience. With his voice still intact he gave us what we came for, the nostalgia trip of the year. Sweet child O” mine, Live and let die, November rain, heaven’s door, Nigh Train, Welcome to the jungle and Patience. With his new crew this was like a cover band consert really, but I was happy and screamed along in all the songs.
Still bombs and fireworks aside, I missed Slash.
After the concert, Axl went on to the after party and then got arrested for biting a security guard in the leg. For a while the concert in Oslo was in jeopardy but eventually the great rock star was bailed out and could continue his tour.
We spent a super traditional Midsummer’s Eve at Ingarö Island just outside of Stockholm.
A rented house, 13 people, one dog, Nubbe (Swedish shots) traditional “långbord” on the jetty, slept on a madras on the floor, silly costume dances, gay jokes, lots of laughs, very tasty food, little sleep, sore backs, bugs and mosquitoes, rowing a boat in the middle of the night. We had a wonderful time as you can imagine. Oh…and Joachim got a crew cut. Looks really nice =)
Tomorrow it is Midsummer’s eve and we are going to Ingarö to stay in this house that we have rented over the weekend. We are hoping for splendid weather of course, but it is a Swedish tradition with rainy Midsummer’s so we’ll se about that, one can only hope. This is going to be so fun. To be continued…
Strange how you can be super close to someone at one point in your life and then years later be so totally out of touch with that same person.
I went out in to Kungsträdgården this afternoon to have a cup of tea with some colleagues. At a distance I saw a man I spent 3 years of my life with coming towards us. He saw me and as we passed each other (without saying a word) we just nodded our heads, which went passed my colleagues totally unnoticed.
It got me thinking that it is so wired to be very close with someone and then some time later you don’t even stop to say hi or ask the usual – How are you doing?
Not that I miss this one, not at all in fact, and it was ages ago that we were together, I was actually glad to see him go back then. But still, it puzzles me that I don’t feel any differently towards someone that knows my very soul than I would for any other passers by.
Oh and now it’s raining…that’s Swedish summer for ya! Gahh!!
