18-08-2008 13:28
Sad news indeed, twitter.com have pulled their free sms 'mini blogging' service from Europe saying it is costing them as much as £500 per year for each subscribed person.

18-08-2008 10:05
This is to warn of any foreign person or persons who are planning to travel to Denmark.Don’t come. Stay away. For your own, and your family’s sake.

The general atmosphere in Denmark is bad, very bad.
Especially if you are a possible refuge that is planning to seek asylum in Denmark,
help your self: don’t do it.
