If you put the word blue in front of the name of the country where he currently lives, could it then be mistaken for a pair or group of mammals during a conversation?

Note change of the last answer above

If you put the word blue in front of the name of the country where he currently lives, could it then be mistaken for a pair or group of mammals during a conversation? I don't know for certain where he lives, but I can only think of one (non-sovereign) country that that might apply to, and I have no reason to think it likely that he might live there.

[Samu Cuenca]

Does his country have any active GT winners?

Which Swedish speaking country has an active GT winner?

 

[RedheadDane]

Which Swedish speaking country has an active GT winner?

My mistake... I just figured it couldn't be Finland, since apparently the country in question doesn't have Sami as an official language.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

My mistake... I just figured it couldn't be Finland, since apparently the country in question doesn't have Sami as an official language.

Well I think it is Finland, because Sami isn't actually an official language, but just an "officially recognized" one.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sami isn't actually an official language, but just an "officially recognized" one.

Which is the technicality upon which I changed my answer to "From a country where Sami is an official language? " from 'Yes' to 'No*'.

[RedheadDane]

Kjell Carlstrom?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Kjell Carlstrom is correct.

It's extraordinary the things, non-cycling related, that one can learn in this game: I have discovered the difference between official and officially recognised languages, some strange Italian EuroPop, and what Sami Hyppia had been up to in the 15 years or so since he last crossed my consciousness.

Although I did wonder what sound two or more mammals might make in conversation that sounds like Blue-countryname.
