Sigursteinn Magnússon was Icelandic and his son Magnus was named Magnús Sigursteinsson. Sigursteinn Magnússon moved from Iceland to this country as the Icelandic consul here. The family decided to use the British naming system so the son became the well known Magnus Magnusson. Magnus's daugher Sally was named as Sally Magnusson though if they had used the Icelandic system she would have been Sally Magnusdottir.
And in case you wondered, Björk's full name is Björk Guðmundsdóttir.

El, you are kind of brilliant information 
I didn’t know that either

If i'm being honest I had noticed in the Radio Times that the cast of Valhalla Murders all of them (bar one) have surnames ending with dottir or son so I decided to check this out. Magnus Magnusson's name is such that it seemed likely that he had Icelandic roots and Björk must be Iceland's most famous person so I checked them out as well.

I have set it to record 
Well done on digging out the information though El 
Good morning everyone it's a bit chilly this morning and it should be dry which makes a pleasant change.
Enjoy your day everyone

Some sunshine here but chilly outside.
Moonie, the Carlisle - Cheltenham match last weekend ended after 97 minutes though there was ony 5 extra minutes
I hope everyone has a good day
That’s good for Cheltenham
The Baggies played well yet again but got nothing out of it 
We had a “penalty” that the ref gave then after a VAR review decided it wasn’t. The commentators said it definitely was. United then had a definite penalty for a clear hand ball. The keeper saved but was well off the line before it was actually taken. Re-take, goal 
So another pointless game. We are destined to return to the championship again 
It wouldn’t have been so bad if we hadn’t crested a hat full of chances and not converted one. Our keeper, an ex Man U player, had a blinder though
I guess it could have been 4-4

West Brom played well enough to think that they can survive
BBC article on the match:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54941199
Interesting statistics at the end. The Man U players have individual ratings from 4.58 to 5.81. The West Brom players 6.25 to 7.87. Sam Johnston, the keeper, being player of the match with that 7.87.

I hope we do survive El
That’s interesting article
I have to say the rating do tally with what I heard on the radio
Evening all
Weather has been wet, cold and miserable.
El, I knew about the Icelandic surname thing because I watch a lot of Scandi noir dramas, including Icelandic ones like Trapped. In fact the actress playing the lead in Valhalla played the ex wife of the lead character in Trapped.
There are some Icelandic surnames on cast lists which don’t have the Dottir /sson thing but I don’t know why. Perhaps people who have moved to Iceland rather than natives?
I hope you’ve all had a good day 
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros
Hug for the night owls 
night yogi moonsie summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
Early morning visit to wish our lovely Moonie a Happy Birthday
Have a good day, everyone
Good morning everyone it's a windy and cold morning with a dry day ahead. Happy birthday lovely Moonie hope it's a good one.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Not warm here and a bit of fog though that seems to be lifting.
Yogi, I remember that you liked Scandi noir dramas 
You may be right with the Icelandic names. Could also be that some families are less interested in the traditional way of names
I hope everyone has a good day
Good evening all
It has been cold and rainy today.
Moonie, I’m so glad you’ve had a good birthday
El, you could be right about the Icelandic surname thing.
Good evening lovely friends and happy birthday to our Moonie I hope you’re having a lovely day, is there cake?!
