Vikings or Norsemen come from the Scandinavian countries of Danmark, Norway and Sweden. They settled in Icleand and Greenland, and even reached the North American continent. In the early middle ages they did indeed do much rapinig and pillaging in europe, in the process laying the foundations for the first Russian state, and conquering Normandy in northern France, from whence they would later incvade England
I hope this helps.

phew! I thought it was the British contingent of New Order fanatics following the band at every show
I aspire to become a Viking. I have the badge, kindly bestowed upon me by Al at the Audley. I must now earn the right to wear it!
In doing so I would need to cast aside my marriage of some twelve summers, to throw in my piecemeal occupation and extort a goodly few pounds sterling from my long-suffering bank. I must also learn to drink large quantities of fine Jameson's Irish whiskey in-between pints of ale.
I know these truths to be self-evident...

Same here.
Was hoping to have been made an honourary VIKING but alas it was not to be, dr

.
Thought that my dazzling repartee and my holy physician like northern nuttiness would just have done it alone,but hey life is shit when you live oop north and hand out prescriptions to asylum seekers and junkies all day.![]()
Thought that my attendance in the st johns ambulance tent (with my colleagues) at hyde park would have done it too,(hey surely thats what vikings do).
To mr jarvis,make Dr
an honorary viking,or the next time you go to the doctors you are in trouble!![]()

I reckon any Vikings who didn't twat the Coldshiteplay fans out of the way at Glasto should have their membership revoked. :\ohwell:

I'm blonde, I'm from Manc land, I've been a fan for 20 years, I've been known to consume large quantities of beer on occassion, but I wouldn't say i'm a Viking... so don't stress if you ain't one (I don't watch Premier League either - maybe theres a correlation there)!

Nah he didnt swear during out little "shout out"
I have noted the majority (not all) of the "Vikings" only became Order fans in the late eighties. Why is this?.Don`t recall seeing any of yous at Birmingham Tower Ballroom Oct 86 climbing the plastic palm trees.
What were you all into when Low Life came out?.Dire fuckin Straits?![]()
(a Viking hits back with "don`t recall you getting the setlist and backstage access at the gig on Pluto that took 3 weeks to get to via the Fuji festival")
Anyways, i`m off on me annual holiday to Brazil with the firm to meet some of them Rio girls again (no, NOT the ladyboys before you say it).See ya!.
