Any Lansman carries in his or her heart, in one form or another, fond memories of the lovely village Beltz.

Or, like a grotty catacomb where no air has circulated for centuries. It is probably a style thing; to be oddly out...
This weekend, as part of the 3 year anniversary for the Gaza campaign, the NRK gave the best prime time slot for Saturday night entertainment to medic Mads Gilbert, portraying him as a life saving hero in Tromsø and Gaza, as usual a one-sided, glorification program designed to make Dr. Gilbert look like a...
