    I watched The Revenent tonight, you're soft as ****. Are you sure you are an apprentice scout and not a girlie guide? Just wondering. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It doesn't help that I had done 0 research on the weather before I set off for the airport. I have one jacket and it's from River Island, it is about 5 years old and it might as well be made of cotton curtains. It's **** and cold. I'm off for a kip.

    Be airport savvy - it turns out that the pilot on a recent trip to Helsinki was a bit of a magician, after walking up the steps onto the aeroplane he vanished into FinnAir.



    One of the pilots had been listening to the voice of The Devil emanating from the drain in his kitchen.

    He wished he'd never moved to Helsinki.

    Tomorrow can only be better, Sterling. <laugh>

    Like I said, crossed wires, that wasn't what we were going to watch (we weren't going to watch Finland at all, we were going TO Finland).

    I'm not too happy, but at least it's paid for, well the flights are anyway.

    *Kicks mankini under the bed.*

    Erm. No?

    On the plus side, the birds are pretty fit. Until they speak. The accent is weird, it's like a Japanese mans voice but monotone. There was a Simpsons sketch ages ago with a Russian Itchy and Scratchy rip off, it's a bit like that.

    Sterling needs to get out of there. He could be in the middle of one of those Scandinavian murder detective sagas.

    He's not the scout in this. He's the one who has been scouted.

    Should be; then he might focus on the details of the trip, rather than the detail on the hotel quilt. But hey-ho, just think of the marvellous story he can tell the bairns after assembly; this is how Tin Tin started, it will probably be a gruff, heavily bearded sea captain does the deed.

    Only Finnish girl I ever went out with was when I was in Lancaster in 1961. Was in digs with a young Norwegian and Finnish guy who both worked at the same place as myself. The Finn went out with her but when he went back to Finland I jumped in for a while. She was a stunner!
    Before the Norwegian left he invited me over to his home in Stavanger. I went there for a couple of weeks in 1962 and he took me into Sweden for a few days. Wanted to see Finland but Iron Curtain was down. It is the only Scandinavian country I have not visited.

    Sterling was up for a game in -11 degrees but Finland and Iceland wimped out to Abu Dhabi. He's more Viking than the lot of them.

    Honestly, don't let that get you down. Learn, adapt, move on. Anything worthwhile is always a slog too.

    Plus, you're in Finland! It might be a ****hole, it might be awesome, but, you've seen it and experienced it, that's worth it alone.

    Having recently watched the Scandinavian drama Jordskott, I'm pretty sure that Sterling will shortly be turned into a tree by the forest people.
