I'm sure Jolly Jack Tar and chum will warm them both up.
I write words for money - but not here. If you think my words here are written to the same standard as my words for money elsewhere, you're wrong. Have a nice day.

My wife is swedish and speaks good english but occassionally comes out with something not quite right. When feeling cold one day, instead of saying she had 'goose pimples', it came out as 'goose nipples'. I think it sums it up perfectly!

One of the first bits of Scandinavian I learnt was Jag älskar dig, which was unfortunate as I am now married to a Dane.

BTW, instead of goose bumps they are referred to as 'Ants Tits' by the foreigner in this house.
