Well Finland is a " Brother Country" to Sweden !!!!! Kyllä Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa, soi, sana kultainen. Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa, ei vettä, rantaa rakkaampaa, kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen, maa kallis isien. On maamme köyhä, siksi jää, jos kultaa kaivannet. Sen vieras kyllä hylkäjää, mut meille kallein maa on tää, sen salot, saaret, manteret ne meist on kultaiset. Ovatpa meille rakkahat koskemme kuohuineen, ikuisten honkain huminat, täht´yömme, kesät kirkkahat, kaikk´kuvineen ja lauluineen mi painui sydämeen. Täss auroin, miekoin, miettehin isämme sotivat, kum päivä piili pilvihin tai loisti onnen paistehin, täss Suomen kansan vaikeimmat he vaivat kokivat. Tään kansan taistelut ken voi ne kertoella, ken? Kun sota laaksoissamme soi, ja halla näläntuskan toi, ken mittasi sen hurmehen ja kärsimykset sen? Täss on sen veri virrannut hyväksi meidänkin, täss iloaan on nauttinut ja murheitansa huokaillut se kansa, jolle muinaisin kuormamme pantihin. Tääll´olo meill on verraton ja kaikki suotuisaa, vaikk onni mikä tulkohon, maa isänmaa se meillä on. Mi maailmass on armaampaa ja mikä kallimpaa? Ja tässä, täss´ on tämä maa, sen näkee silmämme. me kättä voimme ojentaa ja vettä rantaa osoittaa ja sanoa: kas tuoss´ on se, maa armas isäimme. Jos loistoon meitä saatettais vaikk´ kultapilvihin, mis itkien ei huoattais, vaan tärkein riemun sielu sais, ois tähän köyhään kotihin haluamme kuitenkin. Totuuden, runon kotimaa maa tuhatjärvinen miss´ elämämme suojan saa, sa muistojen, sa toivon maa, ain ollos, onnees tyytyen, vapaa ja iloinen. Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan se kerran puhkeaa, viel lempemme saa hehkullaan sun toivos, riemus nousemaan, ja kerran, laulus synnyinmaa korkeemman kaiun saa. ------------- Billy Connolly Dream Theater Terry Gilliam Hagen Quartet Jethro Tull Mike Keneally |

I don't blame ya! I have never been on a icebreaker boat, but many times at Viking Line or Silja Serenade chillin' and buying taxfree goodies... I'm not big fan of winter season. Too cold and too dark for me... Summer is very warm, but little too short. I do like autumn very much, though. I love to take long walk with my dogs, and listen good music with minidisc... In wintertime, only fun thing is icehockey. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to play it myself, but I sure like to watch it. That's one thing I'm really jealous to Sweden. They have amazing players in their league! Finland-Sweden games are classic rivalries, they are so popular that streets are almost empty when there is Fin-Swe game on TV... |

One day an Englishman, an American, and a Canadian walked into a pub together. The proceeded to each buy a pint of Molson Canadian. Just as they were about to enjoy their beverage three flys landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the head of the beer. The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust. The American fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened. The Canadian too , picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU BASTARD!!!!" ------------- Billy Connolly Dream Theater Terry Gilliam Hagen Quartet Jethro Tull Mike Keneally |

I had the chance to sit in a Viggen and sreak with the pilot at an airshow in England.

Velvet, the mentioning of the most beautiful women on earth being from Sweden must be from an alcoolic haze with a low serotoine level.

As a former Canadian Forces fighter pilot ( on CF-101 Voodoos and CF-18 Hornets) I would end my sex life to be able to take a SAAB Viggen or Draken for a joy ride. These aircraft were representative of Swedish technology at it`s apex. I had the opportunity to witness a demonstration of a Viggen at an airshow at Greenham Common in England and chatted with the Flygvapnet display pilot afterwords who let me inspect his bird. A testament to Swedish technology whether it be Volvo, Ikea, Volvo Eriksson I visited Sweden twice , and you guys were really kind to me. Since I am half Scottish, although Canadian born, I appreciate yuor affection for that part of the UK. When Marillion had Fish it was the best band going. "Say you are Scottish!" , he would shout during live concerts. Scotland Forever and Svenska For Hele Tida. Sweden might have a remarkable export for a country that possesses a population of less then that of New York City but the greatest export of them all is : VELVET CLOWN! |

Hey Velvet Cown - there's a guy just getting noticed in UK now by the name of dungen (the band name). he's from Sweden - His LP is absolutely phenomenal!!!! I'm sure you'll of heard of him. Its mad outright prog stuff, like AMon Dull II and thos emad early seventies Scandanavian bands. Gotta hand it to the Swedes - they ruled the 90s revival in prog and still are really. Anekdoten, Anglagard, Morte Macabre. All excellent Stuff!!! |
