    Welcome Stonewall.

    That means that your nick-name comes from the Famous American General, rather than the "gay" movement then! :D ;)

    Seriously; WELCOME! :D

    Ah, at last, an expert about nothing. :)

    I have been wanting to learn about nothing for years now. :D

    Please tell me all you know about nothing, so that I can share in your knowledge of nothing, and help to enlighten others, who may enquire about nothing. ;) :D

    Or do you have nothing to say?

    (More British humour)

    Welcome!!! (Don't I recognise you from another WWII forum?)

    Mmm, it might be but I'm not sure. What I'm sure is that "Hei" is "Hello" in finnish...

    It is.

    'Hei' > 'Hi'
    'Hallo' > 'Hello'
    'God dag' > 'Good day'

    Norwegian isn't that much different from English. ;)
