![]() Just tried looking him up on Twitter and found his account was banned... as long as he's the Lyle Hexom who owned @lylehexom anyway. |

Apparently Mr H. trekked all the way over to Sweden for just a single game last season, putting up 6pts & 7 rebounds in 17 minutes.
While the above might interest some, my own excitement comes from him having played at Djurgarden (second-tier league), a suburb of Stockholm.
Mrs S. and I were there last year, with a major highlight for Mrs S being a whirl around the ABBA Museum.
I say a whirl because it was outrageously-crowded, despite us visiting early-morning. Nevertheless it was still an enjoyable visit.
We were like Dancing Queens...  |

We were heading to the ABBA museum for my wife's, cough, Xty birthday this autumn. Not now sadly. How was it ?? For me, despite only really having an interest in ABBA that has been prompted by Mrs S, it was still very good.
As mentioned earlier, the crowds are a problem. Having said that, we soon worked out that there was a lot of lingering in certain areas.
You know how before social-distancing, (and occasionally still now, despite Covid risks), when a couple of silly moos become oblivious to everyone else as they are so excited to yack endless crap, and consequently obstruct areas such as the top of escalators or, in supermarkets, across the aisles, it was a bit like that.
So the top tip is to get there early, weave your way to the end of the Museum and, best as you can, work backwards. You'll still not get the full effect of the early exhibits, but you'll get full effect of the mid-to-later ones.
Do post up your findings if you ever go. A 7/10 for me. A big fat 10 from the other-half 
Additionally, Djurgarden is a fabulous location for other great touristy stuff - the Skansen Museum (nearly opposite) was outstanding.
If anyone has visited the Black Country Museum near Dudley, think a similar-themed representation of history, but perhaps three times the size and the big bonus is that you don't have to put up with the (painful) yam-yam accents...

Donât know what youâre doing buddy, but please enlighten me! I already have a masters degree, not that its relevant. You said we should stop dealing with whack busted Americans. I class you in this category. Its clear from your judgments that you've only got to be American to be in this category |

Herse, Genuine question- why are you always acting like he classroom bully- waiting for any comment on any thread by any of your âvictimsâ to throw abuse or belittle them at every opportunity? You threw some nonsense at me recently (I canât remember what it was but it was incomprehensible). Give it a rest love as its very childish. Stick to basketball. People have opinions - respect them. |

Dunno bro. Go back, read your posts, read Drunker's. You're a mini him. If you really were a player you wouldn't have dissed certain players in the way you have.

It's just in his character. I believe in real life hes ok though. On here he's always angry and agressive about something. |

I'm familiar with Djurgarden due to their rivalry with AIK. |

Iâm not your bro and stop disrespecting. You wouldnât say bro to one of your players - donât do it on here. Youâre embarrassing yourself by doing so. âIf you were really a playerâ- what the f is that supposed to mean? I play a bit- for fun- with my âbrosâ sure- but I have a job and and not in the NBA or BBL so I suppose thatâs not good enough? Like youâre a journalist but basically have a blog? Catch yourself on and grow up |

Catch yourself on and grow up Wow. If there was a rant of the year award, you'd have just won it.
Clearly sarcasm was wasted on you. They're not "my" players, they're part of a team. When I'm on the bench I would do the "1,2,3,family" huddle, so maybe we're all bro's. Or maybe you just bit spectacularly.
You've constantly had digs at players who've achieved far more than you. You're quite entitled to do that, real players don't (generally) do that.
I'm more of an ex-journalist these days and haven't claimed otherwise. I occasionally cover at a local paper group and do some research work for the Mirror. So, yeah, basically I have a blog. If there was any money in British basketball journalism I'd be disappointed I wasn't getting a slice, but there isn't, so I moved on and got a real job.
I've caught myself, I've slowed down in my old age.
Great rant, though.

I'm afraid that knowing me, knowing you is the best we can do.
