We want to introduce you to Mister Bo. Mister Bo is one of a kind. A man who doesn’t just generate one story but hundreds, even if most are probably rumours. It would be true to say Mister Bo has a lot. He lives in a big house full of expensive bits and bobs. He owns a bar, [...]

Bobbie and Sue lived up the road. They were very much in love and could go hours without speaking, enjoying the quiet company of one another. The couple would spend most of their days walking to get beer. They would drink so much beer that they didn’t really ever need to eat food. If they felt hungry, they [...]
We called him “A Tall Whiskey a Day”, he worked at the weather station, I think he had been an actor back in Denmark. A good man with a lot of humor who could drink a whole bottle of whiskey a day and still do a good job at the weather station. I was in Greenland back then, [...]
