Just last week, Enfaldig bought a new desktop PC. The overwhelming excitement made him organised a dinner for family and close friends. Mother te Flon was gleaming with pride over the sons new asset. Enfaldig decided he must have a formal opening ceremony for the PC. Soon after dinner he asked mummy to do the honours. She switched it on…and when the familiar audio of Windows came on, Enfaldig

After the marathon family sleep to avoid the bad luck of Friday the 13th, the Enfaldig family woke up this morning at 9.23AM. When asked how he felt,'I feel quite releived that as a family we have been able to ward off all bad luck'Today is a special day in the house. The house needs to be painted back to its normal colours and then Liguana will make a big dinner. The family wears special clothes

New statistics from the Swedish Rescue Services Agency (SRSA) show that sometimes superstitions are well founded: when the thirteenth day of the month falls on a Friday, Sweden is a slightly riskier place to be."More accidents do happen," a police spokesman told Svenska Dagbladet.This obviously has been bothering the Enfaldig family. The entire last week he and Liguana have been seen worried in

Enfaldig and wify have decided to give their home a name. When asked why, his point was that most famous people had names for their houses. He pointed out 'Graceland' the home of the King of Rock and Roll. The name they have choosen is 'Halva Vägen' . Simply meaning Halfway House!!!

Enfaldig is said to be writing another book. It is all about his life experiences and lessons. It has been dedicated to all those 'special'people in Sweden. The title of the new book is, 'An Idiots guide to be an idiot'.

Elfaldig, is still trying to claim royalty from quite a few manufacturers of toilet seats from around the world. He believes, his ancestors invented the toilet seat. He recently gave a public statement to that effect. When reporters contacted the manufacturers of Twyford. They too seem to agree with Enfaldig. " Absolutely, there seems to be strong evidence that the toilet seat was invented by a

In the mid eighties, Enfaldig was courting his soon to be wife. The young couple sat in the hall of the girl's house night after night, much to the annoyance of the girls old man. One night he couldn"t take any more. Standing at the top of the stairs, he yelled down, "What's that young fella doin' here all hours of the night?" "Why, Dad, " said Leguna, "Enfaldig was just telling me everything

Besides being special, Enfaldig has issues with Gluten. The man cannot eat most things that normal people eat. But being the hyprocondriac that he is, just about everything freaks the bugger out. He actally believes that he will die if he eats food with Gluten. Well, it is a fact that things can get quite uncomfortable and nasty. His entire family is known to have something to claim glory.

Quite a few months ago, one evening we were at Enfaldig's fathers house. We were exchanging stories and tales. I began telling of a tale that I read on my email. I decided to relate it to Enfaldig. During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "What is the criterion that defines a patient to be institutionalized?" "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub,we

One of Enfaldig's recent pride in the pack is his new friend from the UK. Mr. Dent Faulters. An ideal name for a man who is a dent in the fabric of society and a total fault of nature. Dent as he likes to be known has been desperately trying to release a song. The song is titled 'Doom, Doom, Doom'. The last 3 years he has been trying to find someone who will finance it for release. In

The other day Enfaldig walked into a pub look rather down. He sat himself at the bar and ordered a drink. Two others having a drink could not help noticing it and one asked him what the problem was. He replied,'I cannot beleive what I found in my daughters drawers today'.One of them tried to console Enfaldig, 'I found a pack of cigs and could not beleive she smoked'. The other found the need

This was a recent picture taken of Enfaldig at his daughters school event. He had gone to a nearly gay hairdresser to have this special style done. Rumour has it that Enfaldig did his hair after 3 years. Imagine what the ''Idiot wrapped in a Moron" (as someone rightly called him) might have looked.

According to Enfaldig te Flon, the successful swedish coperation should have belonged to the Te-Flon family. The founder of Electrolux Mr. Axel Wenner-Gren would turn in his grave if he even knew that a member of the Te-Flon family ever even bought any product manufactured by Electrolux. However, Enfaldig has a different story.Elfaldig claims that the whole idea of the vacuum cleaner was

Well, I have had quite a few people asking me to have a snapshot of Enfaldig on this site....Well, very soon you will see one. That is a promise. Actually, you will see the entire family soon..

While going thru a safety training program in Sweden, Enfaldig was quite irritating and kept disturbing the person sitting next to him. The chap next to him realised that Enfaldig was just 'special' and decided to keep him busy for a while. He gave him a piece of paper with "Please turn over" written on both sides!!!!Enfaldig never disturbed again.

Incidently, Enfaldig is seen to be smiling every time there is lightning. There seems to be a logical and 'simple'explanation to this. He thinks someone is taking a photograph!!! Hence....the smile. Nothing like a good pose. Go Enfaldig..go!

On a few occasions I have driven with Enfaldig to this far away place for work. One Monday morning we left around 4.30 AM. I hopped into the car and Enfaldig looked rather happy and pleased with himself which is very unusual. This obviouly begged for an explanation, which I eventually regretted. Collected my courage and asked him what was the excitement about. This was the disgusting part.

Since I started writing this blog..I have had questions from the people of Ulricehamn. None has complained. They all seemed rather delighted and thrilled to read my blog. For which I am ever thankful.. The most asked question is, if it is true? However, at this point I must emphasis that most tales are made up. And some are just as it happened. The made up tales too might have an essence of

Enfaldig was in London and decided to check the night life out. He walked into a night club and started dancing with an English Girl (Reliable sources say, she was from a nearby school for the blind). He whispered into her ear, "I love you." She smiled and whispered back, "I love you too!" There was a short pause, Enfaldig was thinking, then he whispered, "I love you three."

As we know, Enfaldig did serve in the Swedish Navy for a short while. Well, he was on nightwatch off the South Western coast of Danmark. On his radio he received a message requesting that he shifts course by 15 degrees to the west. He replied back that the sender should shift his course 15 degrees to the east. A while later a reply came telling him to move the ship 15 degrees to the west. This

Recently, Enfaldig was in his garden and notice a car parked out side his gate. It seemed that the driver was having problems with one of his rear lights. Enfaldig walked up to the man and asked what was wrong. The man said, he had just fixed a new rear signal light and was not sure if it worked right. Hence, he wanted some help, and suggested to Enfaldig that he check if the light was blinking

With new roads coming up all over Sweden, the demand for road-workers to paint the lines down the centre has increased. Enfaldig called for a family meeting and the entire Te-Flon family agreed that this is an intellectually stimulating one and it was best that Enfaldig applied for the job. He got the job and the entire family was happy.The first day Enfaldig managed to paint 2 kilometers, and

It has just been revealed that Enfaldig's book will not be published for another 7 years. Just last week, he had completed his 10 page manuscripts on Swedish Taxation. He took the manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to 5,000 strips of paper in seconds. He had confused the copier with the shredder. A visibly disappointed Enfaldig said that it will take him at least 7 years to

Taxation is something that Swedes have to live with. Abnormally high compared to many countries. However, the benefits one gets are something not to complain about. Still, as a habit most Swedes complain. Something common in any country.Enfaldig obviously has got it a bit mixed up, and feels his intellectual contributions after studying the system will take him to a higher strata in society.

In the 70's Enfaldig wanted to serve his country. Hence, he registered with the Swedish Navy. He was assigned to a navy submerine that patrolled the undersea for Russian activities. Russian intelligence found out that Enfaldig was on board as a trainee and decided to take advantage of the situation. To sink the Swedish sub without any fire. The method was very simple. They sent a diver to knock

There is a man...a very large man named Enfaldig te Flon. He is around 6ft, 5inches. Besides his height he is also a very heavy man. May be around 250lbs. He is a very simple man (Enfaldig) and nothing sticks to his head (te-flon). Just like the non-stick coating. He makes loud noises from all bodily orifices. His mother refers to him as 'special''. One must keep in mind that in Sweden, when
