Haunted houses on Iceland
On Iceland the question is: "Can a seller of a house be held accountable to the buyer if the house in question is haunted?"
Quote of the day: “Some people don’t mind, while others are fearful of the haunting,” Gudjónsson said, “but it depends on the ghost. An Icelandic ghost is usually no problem, but if it’s a foreign poltergeist that doesn’t know how to behave in an Icelandic house, then tenants usually have a problem.”

Bring back our tribes
"Without ideological guidelines to navigate by, politics becomes an impenetrably tedious business, of little interest to anybody outside Westminster. If Manchester United fans had to form an opinion on the details of its latest share trading in order to care whether their team won on Saturday, Old Trafford would very soon be empty."

Multiculturalism gone mad... ""The challenge here is for teachers to instill their pupils with pride in white culture without it becoming nationalistic or racist."

The document ads: "It is as if white culture is hardly a culture at all - it is simply taken as the norm by which every other culture is judged."

A leftist Norwegian blog I came across today. I got some criticism from Kathy at On the third hand for not linking many blogs from this page. Well, I will link to any blog in this middle section, but I don't think I will be able to link to each and every one on my page. However, below the 'Blogger' button there is a random link to a blog in the blogsnob system, and I've got a link to Bearstrong's list of Norwegian Blogs.

Indignity of Labour
Julie Burchill writes about the treatment of asbestos victims. "Surely the world has truly gone mad when a party calling itself Labour presides over a culture which seems to value the lives of its labouring class ever more cheaply - and the multi-millionaire fashion designer Giorgio Armani announces that his next collection will "pay homage to the workers, to the dignity of the workers with their simplicity and straightforwardness."
