I had it in the back of my mind ... isn't it awesome he travelled through Europe by train? Very smart idea since he hated flying and noone would think about Michael travelling in a trainImpressed by the slot machines on the train and the amount of luggage and super comfortable in the carriage!

OMGGGGG! Hilarious!And let’s not forget about flicka = girl. In the 1960’s we had a television show “Teskedsgumman” (the tea spoon lady). She was pocket sized. That makes her a fickflicka.
Then, imagine she has her trousers on (not too unusual in the Swedish ’60’s). If you then were to call attention to a pocket on said trousers, that would be fickflickefickan.
Now, imagine there are a greasy (smutsig) and a tidy (prydlig, fin) subdivision in one of these pockets. The tidy one would be a fickflickefickfinficka.
Now let’s also consider the lady to not only be defined based on her size. She is pretty good looking (fin). finfickflickefickfinficka.
Oh, wait, I think it’ll be improved if we put that pocket of hers on a dress suit (frack) instead! finfickflickefrackfickfinficka.
Teskedsgumman is also kind of cheeky (fräck). finfräckfickflickefrackfickfinficka.
No! She suddenly got her tidy pocket stained (befläckad)! finfräckfickflickefrackfickfinfickefläck.
I forgot to mention how nimble (flink) this lady can be. finfräckflinkfickflickefrackfickfinfickefläck.
And that dress suit has a way of making you look slimmer (flackare [= bit of a stretch here, admittedly]). finfräckflinkfickflickeflackfrackfickfinfickefläck.
Now she’s smirking (flinar). finfräckflinkflinfickflickeflackfrackfickfinfickefläck.
And can you imagine, in that tiny stain on her tidy pocket, lives another, but far tinier lady. She’s microscopic, but let’s just call her pocket-sized, too. This lady would then be referred to as finfräckflinkflinfickflickeflackfrackfickfinfickefläcksfickflickan.
Now, let us assume this even tinier lady have the same features (good looking, cheeky, nimble) as the original Teskedsgumman. And they are both smirking! finfräckflinkflinfickflickeflackfrackfickfinfickefläcksfinfräckflinkflinfickflickan.
This microscopic lady also happens to have a dress suit equipped with pockets, and so to call attention to one of those pockets, that would be a finfräckflinkflinfickflickeflackfrackfickfinfickefläcksfinfräckflinkflinfickflickeflackfrackficka.
Kind of interesting, I could keep going.
Are you saying you would like to see me keep going? I got myself a hefty headache from trying to make sense of all the bits in that compound!OMGGGGG! Hilarious!
But fickflicka erm, better not use this in Germany lolol

No apologies for posting this one again. It never gets old, imo. If anyone isn't familiar with this one (highly unlikely!) Michael is in the first 4 minutes. After that, it's just the fans screaming but I love it, anyway.
