Fredag 29. oktober arrangerte Seniorforum, Hordaland Arbeiderparti møte om eldrepolitikk i Grand Selskapslokaler på Ole Bulls plass i Bergen. Temaet for møtet var «Vi eldre er en voksende, men uensartet gruppe, med ulike behov og krav. Hvordan møter samfunnet oss fremover?»
Svært mange hadde møtt opp for å høre helseminister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen innlede til tema, og gleden var stor da det viste seg at også selveste statsministeren kom for å delta i samtalen om fremtidens eldrepolitikk.

PORKERI.
Porkeri is a village in the Faroe Islands, situated north of Vágur on Suðuroy's east coast. As of 2004 it had a population of 332. It is located at61°28′59″N 6°44′36″W / 61.48306°N 6.74333°W / 61.48306; -6.74333.
Porkeri has been inhabited at least as early as the 14th century.
The wooden church is from 1847 and contains things donated by seamen who survived lethal storms on the sea, maintaining the tradition of almissu (seamen in danger promised - according to Nordic tradition - to donate churches, the material or such to God if they got back home alive).
In 1984 a new school was built in the village. It is built in a modern Faroese style and has grass on the roof. The old school in Porkeri was built in 1888. It was used as such for 96 years. It is now owned by "Porkeris Bygdasavn" which is a museum. The village also has a church, Porkeri Church with a graveyard.
Tradition says that once in the old days a dispute of field boundaries between Porkeri and the neighbouring village Hov was sorted out by a walking-race between one man from each village.
