Hi Ola,

I wasn't in the greatest of moods when I wrote that comment so 
I'm sorry for the tone of that comment. Looking back a few weeks 
later I can see it wasn't a particularly constructive comment so 
I apologize! I like to think of myself as being a wee bit 
classier than that which is probably why I've taken a while to 
respond.

Just to clarify, I honestly wasn't trolling. Chivalry is not 
really on my radar either way, and being from the North East 
coast of Scotland I've learned not to mess with your fellow 
Norwegians (of either gender :-) )

*However* at the risk of sounding like a complete 'PC' prude. I 
feel (very respectfully!) that comments such as the 'D-cup' one 
should be left out of the public D fora. I'm currently not in 
Norway (nor Scotland) but working for a U.S. based firm, where 
the humour certainly doesn't translate that well.

Cheers,

A.
