Well you made the choice to be a god-bothering sky pilot, situated at the sharp end! :D

Now, if you were a real bishop, with all the travel opportunities that role offers... :wink:

One of the sagest pieces of advice that I ever learned was 'be very wary of anyone, other than for a Finn, that can name name a Finnish placename other than Helsinki and Tapioca'.

Freak! :mrgreen:

As paper mills are usually named after the local town in Finland I can rattle off scores of Finnish place names. So I must rank alongside the Boston Strangler and the Yorkshire Ripper.

And Mixu. You forgot Mixu. Perhaps not so much for Jani Viander though.

Welcome, of course... Sorry the only things i know about Finland (apart from football) is of heart attacks from the diet, alcoholism from the vodka and the brilliant last section of Night on Earth...

I have to say that all the above makes me feel I'd be instantly at home... :wink:

Oh well, allow me.

There has never been a Finnish billionaire.

Finland is home to the Air Guitar World Championships.

No Finnish politician has ever been assassinated (Nikolai Ivanovich Bobrikov doesn't count).

Finland is the ball-bag to the penis of the Nordic countries.
