How do you carry a lesbian around when hitchhiking??? :confused: :confused:

…… 😉

Nah, mate, you got it wrong. It was her tent, so she had to carry it. Except I had to carry it alternate days if I didn’t want to sleep out in the rain . . . . 🙁

and add to that the grand mix of slippery roads that no one has bothered to throw sand on and “I know this guy who has really good set of winter tyres and they are free!” -level of repairing your saab into winter…then spend the otherwise beutifull afternoon diging the saab up from the brench as the curve was few degree too steep 😡 😡 …in case someone wonders what i have done this afternoon….

yeah, no mosquitos nor flys in winter, thats a big plus…Most pitchy thing in the winter, and when you need to do something, whit your bare hands and face the slow numbing of your fingers…that drops the motivation…and if you managed to get your feets frozen, then the hell broke loose….and when the snow beguns to melt… 😡 😡 the moist is everywhere…the heavy, wet snow sticks to everything and wets them…and then your officers gets the master idea of 30km cross country skiing whit “army skis” that has little to do whit the smoothness of the olympic athelets plates…or the idiotic rule of finnish army that we cannot eat whit hand on the head, no matter how cold it is and that in the fields, they give the food in these alumine boxs that absords heat too quclky…meaning that when you manage to find rigth spot to eat, the food is allready cold…and nothing beats cold liver souce in outdoor conditions :diablo: (well perhaps finding frozen liver climps from your next morning porrige :rolleyes: teach pretty effectively the importance of washing your dish…)
And the 1cm thick ice from your windscreen every morning!!! On both sides!!…

but then again, is there more beutifull portrait of the nature than group of frozen trees whitout leaves and they all branches covered whit frost in the extreme temperatures when you can almoust “see” the coldness in the air….moments like that makes your really thank that you live above the 60th latitude

well spend one winter in the army and you begun hate snow…. 😀 :diablo:

Normally you have to get used to it anyway. I don’t like to freeze, especially not when I know that I won’t be able to get warm again in a long while. It’s important to be positive about it, though. Snow does have its benefits.

well lucky you to have alternatives…round here, if you want to refuse going to military, its either 13 months in civil service and gay-stamp in your forehead or 12 months in jail…unless you witness Jehove, then you are free from all…

I’ll excell in management and technical area… but getting up at 5 am and stuffs oh well.

IA.. very stringent! and my gf’s 😉 wud be hell mad if i get in army.

I promise of eternal and huge humor whoever hosts me :dev2: :dev2: , I was awarded the joker of my school 😮 :diablo:

Thats nice to hear, My brother is studying in town of Mikkeli, which Anttola cmuncipality was merged few years back…its lovely area out there really 🙂 🙂

Mikkeli? Not been there since I was a lad, hitchhiking round Europe with a small tent & a lesbian. I expect it’s changed a bit since 1980. I remember it as quiet. Big barracks on the edge of town nearest the campsite where we stayed. Obligatory lake.

BTW, Mark9 – how big was the t-shirt? :diablo:

Snow? I can’t remember serious snow here for years now. I’m gonna go live in the Rockies where they actually get snow. I’m honestly jealous of you folks who’ve actually had snow already this winter as I love the stuff (Just a big kid at heart, I know)

First snows hit rural Aberdeenshire (around the town of Insch) last week.

Only a skimming, but caused one fatality on the main Aberdeen-Inverness road, a notorious stretch when it snows.

We didn’t get any snow down to ground level here this winter. A light dusting on the hills about three times was about it.
Of course winter is over here now being in the southern hemisphere…

Well after the few intial snowfall that supposed to be just the old winter testing the ground….it propaply decided that it was ok and we had this non-stop blizzard for the whole week and now there is up to three feet layer of snow and all the traffic and logistics got serious hits. My mother drove her car out of the road…my car ceased to co-operate with me just as I was about to leave the parking lot…broke my bakc by pulling it out of the way… 😡 😡 😡
We have lived here for 9000 years and seems like every year the winter gets us whit our pants on the knees!
