Eurotrash II [R]

And anyway, I'm not sure that the Freedom (is there a stupider name for a football team?) could possible draft enough players for me (or any other right-thinking person) to cheer for them. If they drafted the entire Swedish national team I might feel a twinge to cheer against them, but only a very small one and only for a second.

For what is rapidly turning into a football romance novel, we have a hard-boiled nearly-Noir intro and a post-feminist Gothic self-discovery interlude. I'm carefully taking notes. Further contributions are most welcome.

 

By popular demand... Guess who?

That's the lamest tatoo I've ever seen ...

 

Then you've never seen anything with a butterfly.

 

There's NOTHING as lame as a doggie paw tatoo. Well, maybe there is: more than one doggie paw ...

 

Apparently there is. It's a **********cat paw tattoo.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's the Wafer.

 

Doesn't matter, it's stewpid!! What is she, five?

 

No, she's a designer.

 

She'll kick your ass. Don't diss the paws, the cardigans, the arran sweater, the boyfriend, the sewing machine or the denim skirts. Grovel or die!

 

Oh yeah? Yeah?

Well, I might like it. But I'd be looking for her to blindfold me first.

 

I'm sure she can knock up a specially customised blindfold for ya, Miss Kinky Boots!

 

Well. ********. Her.

 

She can leg press 120kg, you know. And throw Marta around like a rag doll.

 

As if. I'll wipe those cutsie little paw prints right off of that troll ....

 

Not so trashy, but definitely Euro!

Germany, Sweden and Finland are in the top-seeded group for the European Championships next year. Since Finland get to play in Helsinki, that means the other two will be heading to either Tampere or Turku respectively. The draw will decide.

For those hoping for an opportunity to "group hop":
Helsinki<->Tampere 185km, estimated driving time 2hrs 10min.
Helsinki<->Turku 166km, estimated driving time 2hrs.
Turku<->Tampere 169km, estimated driving time 2hrs 15min.

Could've been worse; could've been Vaasa.

 

just have one of the locals drive you between the cities. With a half decent car the average Finn could probably take you 180km in well under an hour. Even on gravel or snow
.

 

Before or after the Koskenkorva?

 

Why, that is the most offensive thing I've seen in this thread! You ought to be ashamed of yourself! We dance so close to the line between fun insinuation and outright smuttiness, and this goes right over that line! How dare you bring a filthy tennis player into the mix?

 

There's a line?

 

Apparently. I couldn't see it properly either...then they breathalysed me...

 

Well, coming from the same infrastructurally challenged region as Colin McRae, perhaps the Finnish driving tradition isn't that impressive, although the Finns tend to stay on the road at a greater rate than the late Great did.

However, re: the Kosken we can study F1 to see the pattern of Finnish drink / driving and conclude that you hit the kosken the night before a race or immediately after a race, if said race ends with either victory or retirement through technical malfunction.
