The Norwegians are as mad as a bag of snakes Ross, but they've certainly got bottle. ;D  |

Back in the days of the vikings there was a special mad type of warrior called a berserker. Similar to a Glesga jakey wearing a Celtic strip in a Rangers pub or vice versa.

A "jakey" is a nut job usually fuelled by super strength lager or buckie. Read about it hereAnd yes, that is the origin of the word "berserk". You can read about it on Wikipedia here |

That's a cool site John. Agree with the selection of testpieces being ambitious and good to see Plantagenates getting an airing again. Best piece ever  |

You're bound to have a great mixture like that in own choice test pieces, but here, they're not usually so ambitious choices. Maybe the standard of bands are higher there, or maybe they're picking a piece they like to listen to and really overstretching themselves and won't actually "play the piece". Interesting to see some of the choices though.
