Ärende: Re: Buying beer in Sweden
=================================
Björn,
 
BF> What's "the hood of the windshield"? ...
 
That's an obvious typo ... when I notice something unusual I look at the
keyboard and the location of the keys. The "F" and the "R" are placed above
eachother and when reading it with an "r" instead of an "f", suddenly it makes
more sense.
 
BF> And why would I want to destroy a
BF> 36 year old EUR35k+ vintage car in mint condition that way? I don't even
BF> believe in baptism -- and certainly not in adult ditto.
 
As a nautical person, I do believe that every craft should be properly named
and, as such, baptized in an appropriate way.
 
BF> And this is something that you actually thing that a government agency
BF> is stooping to here in Sweden?
 
Actually, if they manage to resell even just 1 bottle, that is exactly what it
is: illegal.
 
It's explained in an extended version in the Dutch-language part of the monks'
website plus it is explicitly printed on the receipts for purchases at the
abbey. It reads translate "we can hold you liable for this" or something of
that nature.
 
BF>WD> My initial statement was "commercially unavailable". If it is, try
BF>WD> ordering 10 cases ...
 
BF> So you dare not take me up on my bet then?
 
Why should I? Whatever you buy "there", meaning not at the "abbey doors", has
been aquired "illegal" and thus is not part of a regular "commercial"
transaction. Unless of course you are willing to consider illegal sales of
stuff also "commercial" transactions.
 
BF> Tell you what, why don't *you* buy ten cases of the stuff, smash one
BF> bottle on your car hood, another one on your wind-shield and show us the
BF> video? DUH!
 
Buying 10 cases would take me 20 months to achieve in a legal way. I do not
think that kind of stock would survive long. But I'll see what can be done
about your request.
 
Now here's another proposal ... why don't I bring a few of these on my next
visit to Göteborg and you introduce me to some local crap. I'm sure that at the
end of the evening we will be agreeing about anything.
