Re: Her Majesty's Exploits

I must really catch up to understand what Llama wrote in ON and send
it to The Sun, which'll bring in big headlines 'Vikings found: Norse till
spoken on Norn!'
;-)

I have also seen that book a few days ago, simply typed Old Norse
syntax into google.com. That was the very first result. I wonder how
much have they payed to google.com to bring this book as the first
result?:) 99$ seems a huge amount, the biggest sum I have ever paid
for books at a single time was 120 €, but for that amount I got 4
books:)
