"I think I have tinitus. The ringing just won't go away."

There's nothing like a nice quiet Xmas interrupted only by the occasional ringing of a church bell. However in Bergen, Norway Vidar Aarhus did think to ring the vicar after the bells kept ringing for five hours.

Said Arvid Andreas Fosse, the local priest:

"They were supposed to ring in Christmas for one hour in the evening. I don't know what went wrong. But I'm surprised nobody called earlier."
