SampanVikings and Gollevainens all new Allthing

Hmm...seems like since last week or so this forum has dryed up a bit...or it is that I have only started to enjoy my time whit keypublishing forum's more lose athmosphere...I managed to revial our good old 'why isent china dominator of the western world?' topic in there, mostly to challenge chinawhite into non military depate...It seemed to prove bit too difficoult matter to him but i have managed to ignate some sort of conversation whit others. Anyway, chinawhite mentioned that he had read this topic too, and seeded that there was some sort of change in his behaivior after that...dont know if our difficoultyes migth come to end, well if that the case it has sure been great fun atleast and intresting...hope for both of us

Anyway, that was more to him if he secretly reads this but back to our things. The world is surely living in intresting things, not to mention the middle east but hot topic in finland have been (mostly due our presidental elections) the Russian energy policy and dispuites with Ukraina. We have discovered how dependaple we are from imported russian energy...
Also the EU has been working on discriminating communism in same manner that Nazis have, forcing all the text-books to be changed to say that Marxism ideology leads into stalinins and bla, bla, bla.... I have thougth myslef a modest leftist, more pink than red, but now my blood has boiled to extreme red...
And still, nothing seems to intress this forum into good discussion. Is it our fault? Us who wants to discuss should activily market these subjects?
...oh yes, politics, they have been banned...and did it work? No, it have crepted back...I have startred to consider wheter it was a good idea first place...maybe the proplem is that we lack enough good conversators, not that some issues are too dangerous to us. They shouldnt be, We should know how to discuss civilised over difficoult matters...

But otherwise life goes on. Frankly i give little who gets to be the president, what would it change, they are all the same eleite inspite their 'colour'...wheater has been comfortably warm and calm after the fierce cold, now its only little bit sub zero compared to -30 degree of last week...:coffee:

I bet you thought I was kidding whaen I mentioned house cleaning

I can assure you that somebody:nono: :nutkick: made sure I have been kept very busy.

Did you say you have had the -30C Russian Winter recently? We have been just about Zero-SubZero the last week and this is cold enough for our blood. How does life go in -30C???? I mean can you dig roads, build houses, do any kind of work outdoors in that temperature. Surely you guys must just seal up the door and throw more wood on the fire. Can little kids even go out in that cold? I thought the air was so frozen it just cut their lungs to shreads.

Anyhow is it my imagination or has the pace picked up over the last week (Chinese New Year holiday, less school work for the ABC's BBC's etc) guess we will just have to wait and see what happens in a week or so's time.

That aside, how are you feeling in yourself, I know that by this time in of a long cold winter, people can get a bit down, waiting for the sun to come back.

Have you got into any renewed writing yet? I would hate to think of all that imagination (not to mention talent) going to waste. You need to do it if your serious, you would be surprised how quickly the years can go, I still have ideas that "I must get around to doing something with" from twenty years ago!!!. sadly as time goes on more and more things get in the way and well.... I am sure you know the rest.

One day I might see if I can dig out one my old efforts and send it across, if that does not boost your confidence in your own abilities, than nothing can.

Anyway I suppose I should find some time to read that new Pentagon Report. Perhaps I can try this evening.

Ciao

Well of course the cold bugs Expecially as it managed to warm up a bit but it has now returned!! But its nothing unusual. you just use comon sense in dressing up, layer by layer, not just thick and furry, but multible of thin layers...and forget about all vaxations, they are pure nonsense, more dangerous than benefical. Our houses are build that way that the cold stays outside. But consrtuction works are usually done in summers, expecially road building, as the ground frost effectively ends all working. But little kids dont have to go skiing in the school's sport classes, but bigger kids like engineering students have to go to school as usual...thank god I got this rusty old Saab 900, that starts up in any conditions...nordic car it is.

Thats comon charrectaristic of us...its cold and dark winter all is bad and misserable, but just wait and when the temperatures hit +10 celcius and you see whole nation changing to Bermuda shorts and t-shirts and heding for nearest terass to crab acold beer

Well im full steam to the script line now, I m writing down now the important things to support the actual writing. I have set a dead line to the same date that i started the whole writing in last year, wich was some time in march to be the last day that I should start it, maybe even before. My fingers are iching, But im determent to do it properly this time. Your insigths have helped lot about the other storyes and opened few knotting proplems that there were...

One day I might see if I can dig out one my old efforts and send it across, if that does not boost your confidence in your own abilities, than nothing can.

That would be more than nice But dont take any pressure

Other wise things are bit hot for nordics in thse days, the dannish cartoon fuzz...they did burn down a both Norwegian and danish embasyes in Syria...the issue has been banned to be conversated in here, but I have participated to it in else where...Hope there isent any permanent drift between west and east been made...

Wow!!!!

Has it been so long since I last posted here.

A quickie.

I am only contactable on PM and Public post today as my e-mail server is down. It would appear to be a problem with ISP as I cannot raise there home page either. I think I remember them saying they were going to do some routine maint this Sunday. Hope that is all it is.

Anyhow, I will be writing up some climatic descriptions this afternoon. But I may not be able to e-mail them untill tomorrow. Are you able to receive e-mail at the moment, with your CP problems?

If yes I can hang on untill they are all clear (or attach to a PM of course) please advise.

Cheers.

well i have accses to the internet so I can use my e-mails...but then again hotmail isent the best solution for images, neither is my schools e-mail, and I hate to burden my brothers schools e-mail system either... so propaply PM them in here or in the sino-economy migth be a best idea...

Hey look what I dug up and found!!!!!

I am still fascinated by the music I am finding on Youtube (must be a midlife crisis thing - looking at Bikes and Leather jackets again etc etc)

Anyhow this is and old favourite band from the Seventies - Be Bop Deluxe featuring singer and guitar hero Bill Nelson.

Here are couple of links from the famous Old Grey Whistle test:

Terminal Street

Except from Modern Music

You cant be a Rocker and not love these people!

Just prooves out the fact that they dont do it today how they use to...

I havent actually never heard of these guys, but that Terminal Street hit me rigth from the first chords of the mellotrone intro...

But Youtube is great...atleast to the point before someone comes rain the parade with copy-rigth issues, like what happened to the numerous Led Zeppelin bootleg clips. But you cant always get what you want, like someone sung...

Meanwhile in my own musical life, I have gradually learning to play my drum kit...and by play I mean play the inner rythem of the actual songs, not just repeat some beatline. I have also had my little sister's guitar on some sort of home care in my flat, and I can take couple of chords from it This summer has been quite intresting on musical terms, as The Who made their first visit to Helsinki in 40 years and I was there!!! Jethro Tull is coming in septemper and Im also going to be there....so I have had my glimpse of the dinosaurs, while they still living...just makes me miss that Im born 30 years too late:rofl:

Terminal Street certainly is a killer, so too I would guess in an Artilleryman on Drums - something about loud penetrating noise perhaps with similar devastating effects on the receiving end

Good God, Jethro Tull still going!! Still I guess if you want Songs from the Wood, Finland must be your place

Have you had a summer this year? We havent its barely topped 20C all season. Its mainly rained and blown a gale. I think this is nearly as bad as 1985, when I nearly caught phnumonia trying to help keep the last Illegal Stonehenge Festival going at the Summer Solstace

Oh well !!

well the summer has been rainy mostly, but few weeks of painstaking heat waves...but in nicely air conditioned office, that has been a matter of curiosity, as Im no sun-worshiping kind.
But Im at work until october, so school isen't rushing on my anytime soon, I will propaply have week or so vacation.

But anyway, our new cat just couth a bat, so Im off to take it to the dumpseter as she never eats them, just plays with it and then kills it.

"......Happy Birthday old b@st@d Happy birthday to youuuuuu..........
