I may reach out thanks. Most important question - Liverpool fan bars? I found a place called the Magnet bar last year which was a good football supporter bar.

Let me know if you need any info. I’ve lived there for 31 years.
Magnet bar stopped cooperating with the OLSC for some reason. I think they mostly meet at Tante Käthe on Mauerpark.
Ps Checked, yes, Tante Käthe is the official LFC supporters bar
Pss Sorry for detailing the thread
Thanks mate great intel. I will head there on game night.
I follow an account on Instagram that colourizes old photos which I find fascinating. It brings people to life somehow. I have colourized some of my old family pics and they look great.
This one is Tromso allegedly 1875. What do you think @magnus
I think it is very lovely and also realistic. I see one glaring mistake that looks a bit obvious to a Norwegian but very understandably not so to an Englishman.
You see, it is very rare to find red roof stones of burnt clay on old Norwegian houses, we have an abuandance of difference kind of stone instead.
I am almost certain that grey “skifer-stein” was used and that it would look like this and not burnt clay like the red stone on your picture (I really doubt it is burnt clay, I think it is this:
Because this is the stone we have used the last centuries along the coast.
Is that you in the background? @Magnus 
Could that be a mistake from the colouring process of the photo rather than the actual roofing colour?
Yes, I think so.
More importantly, did the blokes wear skirts and have huge saggy tits?
He is a Sami man wearing his traditional work cloathes. He can hide an axe in that thing probably 
However, most of us Norwegians are not super comfortable making fun of them and it’s not a good subject for banter really, due to difficult history. It’s a bit like mocking large noses of Jews tbh. You know many Jews of a certain etnicity have a strong characteristic nose, but due to history, it’s not something you should really make very much note of unless you want to get in trouble and be potentially quite misunderstood.
That’s interesting you can identify him as likely Sami just from the pic. Is it just because of the clothes? The way my Finnish friend talks about them is kind of like how the people of Winterfell spoke about the wildlings beyond the wall.

Remembering:
Rest in power to those innocent people who were shot and murdered by French Police in Paris, on 17th October in 1961. Amine.
Rant on:
Ranel is a “corrupted” form of Ragnar, an old Norse name still much in use in Scandinavia. Back in the good days when you English had a proper language still and you still used the good old letters and good old sounds, before latin corruption devastated your culture and language and made it the absurd butchered bastard tongue of ill repute (with more fathers than there are fathers in a street cat’s litter) it is today; you had men with cool Germanic names like for instance Rædwald
Tag, tag, tag.

@Alright_Now_Legend
Bloody foreigners.
Aye. Fuck them all. Except the Norse that gave you pronouns of course. They were nice (well, sort of unless, unless, unless, unless and of course unless. Also should probably mention unless that too. And that.)
Rant very much on:
Many people have a little devil inside them. A small little imperialist fascist or even nazi that they shackle and never let loose in sober conditions. My little fiend is all about Etymology and I arrest myself sometimes, feeling sad, that a given language has corrupted and degenerated too much.
My little language nazi self, greatly admires Icelanders, who instead of taking on foreign loan words, they (in my opinion, superior) create new Icelandic words for them using their actual language. I often marvel at their superiority compared to us idiot norwegians who completely fail to take care and conserve our language. Oh, don’t get me started (or let me start) on the Norwegian language, most Norwegians write fucking Danish, a language that is itself orally devastated due to much too close proximity to Germany and that to me, is abominable and shows a tremendeous lack of self respect.
But yes, Icelanders, fucking brilliant people of culture that actually takes care to conserve what is a very vulnerable lingusitical history. Why vulnerble ? Well, look at you English and look at us Norwegians. We are in comparison to Icelanders, pretty damn fucking sad and patethic culturally and we have certainly lost our respective languages.
General Ripper would have loved Icelandic linguistical conservatism 
Be nice. @Magnus’ people have their heads screwed on straight.
Ultra late answer, but yes. I can absolutely identify him and his ethnic group from his cloathing.
You have to remember that this picture was taken in 1875, in an age where one ethnic group seldom if ever wore the traditional cloathing of another ethnic group and when mixing of culture was very uncommon outside engineered social experiments.
I am not 100 percent precisly sure as to what kind of Sami he is, but I think Sea Sami (there are multiple variants) like these ones
The Sami’s who lived and used the sea as opposed to the far better known part of the wider Sami people, far better known to move around with their enormous reindeer herds traditionally.
If you are wondering why I can say this with some accuracy, it is due to the “kofte” or that which may appear as a skirt like piece of cloathing to you, as well as his overall (and shoes, and well, hat and leggings and everything tbh). Sami people used to wear that. Very uncommon to see these days in a photo from people’s daily lives, outside festive clothing such as for instance shown here:
