    Though you have leave to hate Mamma Mia...cringe

    I'm more aligned myself culturally with Scandinavia, whether it literature, music, film or TV. I've not quite sampled their rotting fish dishes, drink or native dress but i'm sure it's only a matter of time.

    I also admire their social stances, education, political leanings and their handling of their resources too. We could learn a trick or two from them.

Borgen and Riget are two of my favourite shows, they show case some excellent Danish talent.

    I enjoy Lars Von Trier films too, even Melancholia =p
