– the head listens better

When VG contacted Skei Grande per SMS to get a comment on the Pokémon gameplay, she responded as follows:

– I sit and reply SMS to you – it requires concentration. Do you think I should not do it? responds Skei Grande while debate still ongoing.

Shortly thereafter expands Skei Grande:

– Make it no longer, as some of us were encountered. But some of us have heads who listen better when you can do something brain dead beside. We are not all equal. It has emerged more sensational things in hearing about Norwegian defense capability than this.

She says she has not received reactions from others on the gameplay.

Hareide: – Trine has a knack for being actively present

KrF leader Knut Arild Hareide sat next to Skei Grande during the hearing. He felt that she was well-prepared and followed closely.

– I have long experience of sitting next to Trine, even today. She has a knack to be actively present in the incredible number of meetings she attends, writes Hareide in an sms to VG.

He writes that Skei Grande obviously had made thorough preparations and had good questions.

– So she must often manage to handle two things at once. I note that she is fully present, and that other activities can also contribute to increased concentration on contributions in meetings, writing Hareide.

National Guard Soldiers breeds

Thomas Stokkereit Jensen are among those who have responded to the Home Guard group on Facebook.

Petter Faye Rundereim nor is gracious:

– It is worrying that those who will be involved in taking the decision on Defence future, do not engage more than that, he says to VG.
