- #1. Take the horns off, and don't care about what the other Vikings say.
- I think this will help you.
-
- #2. I don't have this problem, but I think it will help if you do as I told
- you above (#1.)
-
- #3. Perhaps they know who invented this sport, because Tuborg is Danish.
- You should rather look for Norwegian beer like Frydenlund, Hansa, Aass,
- E.C. Dahls (Lysholmer) og Ringnes.
