More. Exactly in the morning and martin engle bag is a ready out canvassing so far hes getting a lukewarm response. To him are you now and then someone will stop for a quick chat and Say Something encouraging in passing like im voting for you anyway looking good. But its too early in the morning for indepth political discussions with the film but theyre right it is looking pretty good for angle bag hes with the sebastien courts list the conservative Austrian Peoples Party or ovi is named on the ballot its currently leading in the polls.

Many are surprised to see angle bag psychiatrys do not collect or throw his lot in with courts it cant be ruled out that his party ends up entering into a coalition with the far right Freedom Party angle bag as an active member of viennas Jewish Community in the past hes rejected this option but now he appears to be changing tack. Of course i would prefer it if the Coalition Partner were not the Freedom Party my argument is that the more vote getters the Sebastian Kurtz list the less well see of the Freedom Party in the new government is in the next.

Now what is the most unique gift youve ever received for your birthday a group of norwegians plant a big surprise for their neighbors in finland to celebrate finlands one hundred Year Anniversary of independence from russia the norwegians want to give their neighbors the summit of a mountain while this would only require the border to be shifted a few meters it would also call for a change of norways constitution but not everyone is ready to break out the champagne just yet. Its late summer and theres not a tree nor a bush nor a blade of grass here at Thirteen Hundred metres mountain guide georgs knows every rock on the how to fill on the norwegian finished border. Theres been a move afoot here to move the border. You know after standing here on the finnish ality here to the right you see the border marker its the highest point in finland. If you look towards the other side it gets higher and thats norway so finlands highest peak has a norwegian summit. How annoying that a Mountain Peak in otherwise very flat finland has its summit outside the country across a border drawn in seven hundred forty.

Its claimed that a compromise might be possible a swap would not file at the constitution finland would get the summit and give a piece of waste land to norway in exchange after all norway has no real use for the hottie you know we go the norwegians have plenty of other peaks to climb and the finns didnt even get the top of the pile of rocks were standing on here. And i think thats too bad the poor families. And what do the finns say about the issue do they really want the additional eight meters of summit from that side of the border its quite a long way to the nearest habitation there may well be more reindeer than people in the area. Then finally fifty nine kilometers from the hole to
