Nightclub comedians know they can always score a cheap guffaw by malklng fun ofpassionless limeys and their prissy, siff- upper-llppish ways. Anglo-Saxon sang-froid is universally acknowledged, universally dlsparaged and, as an Englishman himself might say, a load of utter rubbish. The British aren't passion- less, they just have better manners (soccer louts exclud- ed) than the rest of us, As for lacking a sex drive, you've got to be wondering, what bushel basket Milas Fdreman has been living under for the past quarter of a century. Did he miss the Profumo Scandai? Fergie, Duchess of Toes? Prince Charles and Lady Tampon?

The Norwegians -- there's another group that gets held up to ridicule in the Sexier Than Thou Department. The Norse are cold, the cliche goes. Distant. Aloof. They gsot no rhythm. Well, you couldn't prove it by the story that's rocking Norway right now.
