Strikers unite!

Another month, another strike here in Norway. This month, it's the banking and insurance people. Yeah, you heard me: the banking and insurance people. Right. What IS it with Norwegians and paralyzing strikes? Let's have a short recap of the year so far:

• The fly-boys in SAS-Braathens are unhappy: all planes are on the ground (again)
• The transporters union is unhappy: no food in the stores and public transportation brought to a halt (again).
• The TV-journalists are unhappy: no commentary on your favourite sport shows (ehm... come to think of it, that's not too much of a loss).
• The banking and insurance people are unhappy: no paychecks, none of your credit cards work. All this within a few months. Geez!

You know, you guys should get together. I mean, if you joined forces, you could TOTALLY paralyze Norway - how cool would that be! Planes on the ground, no public transportation, no food in the stores, no TV, no way to pay your bills and the stores won't accept your credit cards. Terrorists? Pfft! Who needs them! Let me lead you to unknown heights of supreme power: together, we can bring Norway to its knees! Join the Dark Side! Mwahahahahah!

I wonder if anyone would give a rat's ass if the noble (ahem) salesmen of Norway's musical instrument stores went on strike?


Anyone?


Hello?


Thought so. Hrmph.
