    So you don't like foreigners telling you how to run your country.  We have so much in common.

    Maybe you like your politicians stepping into and overruling the judicial branch. I sure hope not.

    There's another thing we have in common.  Holy cow!  Add to that, we both have a segment of racists in our country.  Look at us, common ground.

    So tomorrow ASAP could be released, or charged.
    I also read that they could detain him longer without charges?
    I'm not an expert, but this is my perception of it.

    Three things can happen. 

    - The prosecutor can come to the conclusion that the investigation show that ASAP is no longer a suspect. Then he will be set free.

    - The prosecutor can say that the investigation needs more time and ASAP is still a suspect. Then the court will listen to the case, and decide to agree on holding ASAP for longer so the investigation can go on or not agree about the strength of the case and release him.

    - The prosecutor can say that they have enough to formally charge ASAP - and then the case will go to trial.

    Something like that.

    Sweden has always been one of KISS stronger markets. Even during the tougher years.

    We actually have all four seasons here in New Jersey, I really don't see Sweden having those four defining seasons.  Summer temps there wouldn't be what I am used to.  I mean my pool was 89 today, seems like it would be too cold for me in Sweden.  Plus no ocean. :(

    The Baltic Sea doesn’t look too different from an ocean when you’re standing at the shore you know. It’s still a whole lot of water.

    89 is hotter than the Gulf now, that's crazy.

    We had 24 degrees celsius (Which is the normal way to measure temperature, as everyone knows) where I live today. Summer enough.

    Get with the god damn times. Haha.

    Because of the widespread adoption of the metric system, most countries worldwide – including non-metric Liberia and Burma – use Celsius as their official temperature scale. Only a few countries use Fahrenheit as their official scale: the United States, Belize, Palau, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands.

    Was 34 degrees down in Dusseldorf when Eddie played there. And no wind. No mojitos in the world could cool me down.

    Those kind of german temperatures can go to hell.

    Well... fine, you got me. Where I live it’s mostly wind and kite surfing in spring/autumn. I‘m no expert though

    With all due respect to PJ, that doesn't affect what I write.  Anyway,  I thought you would agree with that.  It's not sarcasm, it's factual.
