Ohhh OK didn't know you were in Sweden! Yeah it's the same thing! I wonder how well the voiceover guy translates to other countries. I heard the Australian one and he was pretty similar - very sarcastic and makes fun of the people a lot. Same in the Swedish one? I love seeing how idiotic the people who host the dinner parties are lol.

Round the corner at his hotel (park Plaza). Staked the place out with my brother for a while, got inside, chilled in the lounge with a few beers for a couple of hours, and then he just strolls out of the lift with no security or anything. He wasn't in the mood for pics but he was cool as f*ck, gave us both a pound and said cheers for making the effort!
Managed to get a couple of sneaky pics a bit later on at which point I was forcibly removed from the establishment haha!
