News From Finland (Jambo's Least Favourite Place)

[Mowl]

They very well could be if you're deep in the wilds without anti-serum.

That said, I've never seen a snake in all the years I've been here, but I have seen many of them in the lakes of Uppsala, north of Stockholm. My Swedish lover's granddad tackled them and took them out onto the lake in a box and tossed them back in. They were a sort of greenish/brownish shade of scales, very pretty.

But apparently also rather poisonous.

Snakes are interesting in that they literally influenced our biological evolution, including vision. Humans have an uncanny ability to spot snakes. The more ancient regions of our brains are hardwired to spot them within milliseconds.

I didn't see any of them until her granddad went into the rushes after them.

I saw them when they in the box, ready to go back home.

Why does dis sound 'ilarious

Because you have a thing about grannies?

It's wonderful to be in Finland: not even mid-April and the sun's blazing down these last few days with more of the same predicted until well into next week. Cloudless skies by day are absolutely stunning, but the the clear night skies are utterly fucking awesome. Hundreds of stars visible from the comfort of my bed, I sleep like a baby after nodding off while watching satellites move gracefully across the skies.

Some days I have to pinch myself and remind myself how much worse off I'd be had I stuck around in Ireland.
Paddy's going mental with the gas stations running dry, so he fucks his neighbours up as much as he can - just to make the point that he can.

How come you fuckers always manage to shoot yourselves in both feet - every time?

Man, I'm going to enjoy watching you lot screw yourselves up while I'm sitting on Cloud 9.

Life's great for some - not so great for others.

Guess which one you are.

Poor Jambo: he thinks the bright little star-like objects moving across the skies at night are only stars.

Must be all the cheap Dutch alcohol running through his system - and that soap-bar hash isn't helping either.

Regardless, we'll be basking in sun and clear skies for the next week at least with water shortages predicted if the rains don't arrive soon. Apart from all that, we're celebrating an excellent beginning to the coming summer months with multiple free public events scheduled all over the country.

Jambo meanwhile will be pacing his bedsit floor wondering why he has no friends or ladies in his life.

It gets worse! Mowl thinks it's the stars that are moving, still doesn't know why I posted this video -

Your herpes?

And Jambo watches on, trying to learn but not understanding anything that's going on: he has Pinchymama on his mind again: cue the chess questions.

it's the stars that are moving

Sure it is, Jimmy.

Take a lollipop from the jar.

still doesn't know why I posted this video -

Nope, that's 'doesn't care' why you posted that video, which I haven't looked at.
It's from that movie about a beach, right?
Imagine that?
Finding a beach - on an island, of all places?

No one would ever accuse you of wanting to learn anything

Certainly not from you, at least.

How best to illustrate how many fucks I might give that?

Is it from some 1980's slapper like Suzanna Huffs or Cyndi Lumper (your main crush even if she is around ninety-four)?

Quality threads on Jambo's favourite site (or rather the only one other than this who'll put up with the thick cunt).



You're very slow in responding to fan mail today, Jimmy.

Still hungover from last night's slab of Dutch Gold?

The favoured imported beer of the modern Irish gnationalist?

Finland preparing militarily against Russia.

Finnish conscripts train for all-out war with Russia

Finnish preparedness and deterrence against Russian aggression - whether in the form of hybrid attacks, or full-scale invasion, is long-established state practice. Conscripts are trained to be expert snipers; ready for all eventualities at the country's 1,350 km frontier with Russia.

Here's a list Mowl doesn't want you to know about..

https://x.com/i/status/2048729001988858156

 

[Mowl]

Finnish ladies are as free to do as they wish as any Finnish male or Mowl, Jimmy.

If loyalty is what you require in a relationship AND you're looking for it in Ireland?

You've lost the race before you've even begun.

Frankly, I find the notion of a loyal Irish woman rather terrifying.

Imagine some slapper gluing herself to you for beer money and the occasional kicking in of her back doors?

The big news from Finland today is of course the coming weekend party for Vappu (that's May Day to you, Shay) which kicks off on Thursday and runs through until the following Tuesday, a longer than long weekender. Kaivopuisto will be jam-packed with the ladies and multiple stages offering bands, DJs, you name it will cover the entire park until around dawn when the sun rises again.

I've got my supplies in and am ready for anything.

How about you, Shay? Planning on staying home and reading the latest on the kid's site? Ready for some updates of free software and new DVD releases? A few video games for your plug-in GameBoy? Tetris? Of course you should remind yourself to get in at least two slabs of Holland's finest along with some extra soap-bar for the weekend that's in it. Which isn't much, is it?

Poor Jimmy: addicted to chat boards!

How sad is that?

[Mowl]

She can do what she likes, she's my ex after all.

How about you, Jimmy?

When's the last time you got laid?

The previous decade?

Hardly surprising: were I in Dublin and trying to find a decent looker among the hairy-armed fanny-buckets you call Irish women, then chances are I'd turn to the tiddlywanks, Korean pop music, Oasis videos, singalong with East 17 afternoons, and kissing your Cyndi Lauper poster(s) on the bedroom wall.

But I'm already very happy, Jimmy.

How about you? Finding it easy to cope with the endless rain and grim news on the home front? I've all my doors and windows wide open, the light's flooding the room and the sea smells so inviting. There's also a distant barbecue somewhere out there, and I'm famished after last night's partying. It's been one of the best Vappu evenings in years. The city was spilling over with hotties, everyone's in summer mode: what a night, what a nightless night..

You can tell us all about that in the Food and Beverages thread

PS. I'm reminded of when a colleague of mine who I was friendly with once said something like -

Q. What sort of food does someone with a hangover seek?

A. Something to go with your salt
