SV = Stig Vatland

SV: One of the most, er, memorable moments, or not moments rather events, in my life, er, was a couple of years ago. Um, it all started one day when I was at work, and my brother phoned me out of the blue and said um, “What are you doing the weekend of Sept 23rd?” or whatever it was.

I said, “I don’t know.” He said, “Well, book a flight to Norway.” My brother lives in Norway,
