So, I think I've mentioned how in - well, by now in less than a week it will be 200 years since the English navy bombarded Copenhagen and proceeded to steal the Danish navy.

Apparently, England is very sorry for what they've done, so - according to a bunch of Danish newspapers - on saturday they are going to be returning some of the booty taken. Exactly what will be revealed saturday, but it's supposedly something from one of the stolen ships, "Christian den Syvende".

Don't get me wrong, this is kind of cool - but can you imagine the mess it would be if everybody was to return war booty to everybody else? Dansk Folkeparti has apparently already been out and babble about wanting Queen Margrethe's wedding dress back from Sweden, and I just bet England might worry that the Greeks will be wanting their marbles back - once they've managed to put out all those fires, anyway...
