Oooooo ...

I'm in Helsinki at the moment on my 1st appraisal with my new boss (previous
one left last month).

In view of the recent successful AD rollout in Europe he's just upped my
salary by 30% .... Wooooohooooooo.

Tonight I'm hitting the bar !

 

Heh, you'll blow your 30% on a good night in Helsinki.

 

justifiably!

 

Not necessarily so on a week night. You can get your average pint of lager
for 2 euros during happy hour in certain places in downtown Helsinki, and in
my expericene 10 pints/20 euros is all you need to get a good night started.

It's usually the events after said good start that tend to become expensive
(unless you stay away from the strip clubs and just keep drinking instead).

A continued Happy New Year to URKM from your resident finnish lurker, btw.

ObMotorcycles: I rode my Blackbird on this new years day, for the first time
ever. Can't say I enjoyed it immensly (+3 degrees centigrade, salt and sand
on the roads and sunset at 15:20) but it was worth it just because. Usually
we have snow and lots of it this time of the year.

 

And to you. It is nice to know that we have friends in forn places.

Dear Friend,

I wish to approach you with a request that would be of immense benefit to
both of us. I am lurker based in Scotland United Kingdom England Great. I
want you
and I to make some fortune out of a situation that I am obviously left
with no other better option. The issue that I am presenting to you is a
case of my client that willed a CG125 (makes holy sign of the pushing rod)
to his only daughter, who is TIUTA. It is some unfortunate that he and his
daughter died on the EOSM attacks on 7
July 2005. The wife died of TIUTA on receiving the sad news a week
after. I am now faced with a problem of getting a trusted person who I
will make the beneficiary that I would pass the CG125 (make push of holy
signrod) to. And according
to the law such fortune is supposed to be bequeathed to the government if
there is not any relatives or next-of-kin of the decease that would
surface for claim of the fortune. I hear you are **** and will sell CG125
(push rod in holy hole) for 38million UK pounds and will keep 5million UK
pounds for you and send the remainder to Victor Mbogo, Mandela House,
Nigeria, Scotland

Superb. The funny thing is that it's more literate than the average scam
letter.

 

<VBG>

You daft sod.

Do we have any Maltese lurkers[1]

[1] **** off, Cab, you don't count.

 

Bear says...

Ooh, if only you knew

Should'nt that be "Penhwyad "

Ta ... my e39 M5 purchase in spring has just taken a MAJOR boost! Especially
as I've found an insurer who'll provide FC for 500 quid and my tyre bod
tells me he can "shoe" one gor 650 quid (I was expecting twice that).

 

I took my Blackbird out on New Years Day too.. it was sunny where I
live though ;-)
