Yeah, someone either doesn't know Danish or the translation service sucks. The minister wants to shut down the service, not will shut them down.

Thanks a lot for linking that piece, it's a great read. That said, I don't believe that the fact that Swatch owned Omega and Blancpain was known outside watch nerd circles until very recently.

The Swatch x {Omega,Blancpain} watches are fascinating to me. I wonder how much "brand damage" this inflicts on 2 iconic watch designs. For a long time it seemed like Swatch didn't really advertise their ownership of many pre

As a Swede it amazes me that some countries allow parking "in the wrong direction". I've never even thought about it, and I don't know if it's a written rule (I'm sure it is, just it;s been a long time since I
