The old enemey does it again, Sweden takes gold in ice-hockey. It was a fantastic tournament for Finland but in the end they just couldn’t produce the goods in the final. Well done to Sweden on their deserved win … feckers.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It’s the country for me.You’re so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.Finland, Finland, Finland,

Finland has it all.Finland has it all. Except an olympic gold.
I’m in Finland at the mo. Freezing me bollox off.
Where abouts are you Hugh??
Helsinki. Question for you – what are those hoses-cum-shower heads you have in the toilets for?
They’re for umpa lumpas
Any plans to travel outside the city?
Nothin planned as yet, but I’ve a few days to kill later on in the week, so might do then. I’m shamefully ignorant about Finland, so am open to suggestions.
Suomenliina is nice … but that’s IN Helsinki. Outside of Helsinki but within a reasonable distance … well there’s some Irish lads about an hour North of you would be delighted to go for a beer
I’ve never really been a tourist in Finland, the only sight seeing I have done has been in the far North, but these links might help:

Cheers for the links, man.
Yeah, I was on Suonmelina yesterday – fantastic place. Would definitely be on for meeting up with thirsty Irish lads, but need to see what the missus might have in mind! Will drop you an e-mail once I find out.
Actually i’d need to check if any of the lads are around, so don’t make firm plans yet or you’d be stuck with just me
Is Finland a usual second land for Irish?
Hi Antonio, no not at all. I’d say it’s way down the list of European countries. The only reason Irish guys come here is because the Finnish women drag them over
Maca,
are you telling me that Finnish women are better that Irish ones?
What?? I never said that!! *phew … close one*
LOL!
Good one, Maca!
