Trip to Sweden

Well after all these years, KIDDA (or at least the European contingent of Banjo, Frodo and Q) finally made it somewhere other than Edinburgh or Gullane. Kermit as we all know lives / works and studies in Göteborg (or Gothenburg to all of us that speak English). So, after an early start of 5am to the day and a cheap flight from Prestwick we landed. Oblivious to us (as the announcement on the plane was soooo quiet that we couldn't make it out) we landed at the airport that we weren't expecting. Anyway, we made it eventually and met up with Kermit and Frodo's mate Niclas.

That night consisted of drinking and eating. Kermit's mate Lucas came out to play after work (many thanks to him for putting the three of us up for the weekend).

The next day Banjo was severely hungover while the rest of us did a little bit of shopping for party things. Niclas was having a belated birthday party and the theme was "Men in Black and Lady in Red" Everyone took a ticket when they entered to put them into teams for some interesting challenges ...

Banjo, Frodo and Q in their first pub of the night : Bryggeriet (The Brewery)
Same pub, different line up ... Banjo turned into a frog :-)

Lucas joins us now in Dancing Dingo (an Aussie pub)

They have a fantastic policy in there:

Here's something that we don't normally see in Edinburgh ... proper snow in the city! Banjo and Q just had to play and do snow angels! But not here though! Sweden Trip - photo 4

Well, being the "Men in Black" the lads had to dress up with black shoes, black socks, black trousers, white shirt, black tie, black jacket and black shades ... and a laser gun :-)
The first challenge was to display an emotion that could be captured on camera. Frodo and his group displayed anger. Sweden Trip - photo 6

Q and his group displayed shock / horror.

Don't worry, Jeremy is fully clothed under that jacket :-)

Incidentally ... this photo won :-)
Kermit and his group displayed love / admiration. Sweden Trip - photo 8

Oh no ... time to run ... Niclas has a karaoke machine and intends to use it!
So what, you ask, was the prize for winning the photo? Well it was to be first to do the karaoke. The wackier the performance, the better.

Jeremy knew that Niclas had some "dodgy" clothing and accessories, so what better choice than to put them on and do ...

... the Y.M.C.A. ... boys doing the "dancing" and the girls apparently doing the singing.
Kermit and crew did "Movie Star" with Kermit himself doing translations, so to speak, of what he thought the song was really all about by playing the drunken movie star! Sweden Trip - photo 12

Frodo's turn now!

Not many photos of Banjo taken this time, but just to prove she was there ...
