1 finalist dead and the other in hospital. Great 'sport' indeed. :rolleyes: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/08/08/2976637.htm If you have never been in a hot sauna before, it might be hard to understand why it went so wrong. The heat itself wasn't so extreme (Finns regularly have...

Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing? I have a set of nice Bondhus T allen keys that have seen their share of usage. Replacing them all seems like such a waste when the tools have so much length to them. Surely it must be possible to cut the worn tips off, thereby making...

http://www.sbs.com.au/firstaustralians/ Has anyone else here watched this 7 part SBS documentary series? Fortunately for me it has been broadcast on Finnish tv (although we are only up to episode 4), otherwise i may have been none the wiser. However it is possible to watch them all online...

Here in Finland people are currently celebrating the festival known as Juhannus, or Midsummer as we English speaking types call it. This usually entails the lighting of bonfires, going to summer cottages and spending time with family and friends. This time of year is also famous for the...

Alright, i know there are alot of dads out there in the Farkin community so i thought we should start up our own picture thread! (Older dads are most welcome too, maybe we should stick to baby pics though) I recently joined the New Dads club, on sunday in fact. Our son was born a couple...

Just thought i'd share one of my favourite Finnish bands with the rest of you good people. You probably won't understand what they are singing about but i'm sure you'll dig the music! :cool: Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kl5OMZR-3k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v_iJemE9Ps...

Not sure if anyone else here has been able to watch the recent Ski Flying World Championships or even knows what it is, so i thought i'd give you guys a taste of one of the best winter sports around! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski-flying_World_Championships...

http://www.vbox7.com/play:ad4f3898 This is definitely one of the greatest escapes ever! Who would of thought that the little bugger ever had a chance after getting singled out... Although, it's injuries may have meant that it simply died later on after the action died down. :(

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/09/15/ncopter115.xml Just saw this on a local forum, hopefully it isn't true! :( You won't catch me flying in a helicopter anytime soon, unless i don't have a choice...

For all those that haven't had the pleasure of seeing this guy before, enjoy! I stumbled upon these on one of the only video sites that the filter at work doesn't pick up. :cool: Making Salad http://www.vbox7.com/play:971e0bc5 Fish http://www.vbox7.com/play:c30baeb5 Chicken In The...

A few days ago whilst we were driving home from Kajaani in northern Finland, we spotted a sign on the side of the road that said Wolf Park (Susipuisto in local speak). As soon as i saw it i knew that a longtime dream would come true, that being an opportunity to see wolves up close and in the...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rx6i090FGzQ Found this link on another forum and just had to put it up here to hear other peoples thoughts... I have to say that i really enjoyed Sylvester Stallone in Rocky Balbao because it brought back the feelings and atmosphere of Rocky 1 and 2. However...

Yes! Only for one reason though... And that's this guy! Ari Koivunen. Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Whitesnake songs in an Idols competition have to be applauded imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDd7LmXmovk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i7VB6iATM0...

OMG people, the wierdest things are happening out on the field across the road from our place! Strange 'otherworldy' images are appearing in the snow, kinda like those crop circles that were oh-so common in the late 90's. (Hopefully this doesn't mean that Finland is that far behind the times...)...

This thread is for all the tech heads out there, hopefully someone can provide me with some useful info. I have a bit of a problem with my tv at the moment, it's producing a constant high pitched noise (from the back of the set) that i just can't figure out how to stop. The only thing that...

Are you one of those people whose mail only ever comes in the form of bills? Wouldn't it be nice to get quality mail? Would you like to hear from people from all over the world? Do you like sending postcards? If you answered yes to all of these questions then step right up and check out...

http://www.ninagordon.com/media Scroll down and click on the 'Straight outta Compton' cover. :confused: Now that just aint right... 18 and life is also kind of funny too.

Hahaa, for those of you expecting to see a big poo i'm sorry... We had a big dump here in Helsinki today, snow that is! It bucketed down and by my rough guestimation it must have been about 20cm's or so before 2pm in the arvo. Working outside at the airport was tough, snow makes everything...

Ever thought that your cat has an uncanny resemblance to Hitler? Well, stress no more for you are not alone! http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/ Well, at least i thought it was funny... :o

Has anyone else heard about the increased level of security that has been implemented in all UK airports? From what i have seen it means that no carry-on baggage is allowed on any flight to the UK from now on. Not sure what else has been announced but that one measure alone will cause hassles...
