[History of the World][NMA]Finlandia

Day 3,344, 02:53 • Published in United Kingdom

• by Mad Pauly

Following recent controversy, Mewsnight has been replaced this evening. Instead of the scheduled edition, we bring you Peter Snowy with

the latest in his series looking at the history of the world.

Please leave a comment below to help Peter do that whole media award thing.

* Don't look at a combined Sweden and Finland together on a map. You cannot unsee.
** Finns enjoy saunas, apparently.
*** It's bloody cold out there!
**** Not true. Though the Finns do have a lot of lakes. Around a thousand, if the name of the rally is anything to go by.
***** Also not true. Even Finland has roads.
****** Another blatant untruth, though the Finns have more vowels per capita than most of the rest of the world. Also, the spruce is on fire.

Peter ain't as controversial as Jezza...

Mr Knee Day 3,344, 03:55

In terms of caption 4, how does one go about exporting lakes??? Do they suck up the water in the Lake, carry it elsewhere, dig a new hole and then tip the bucket of water in?

See the footnote.

Darude - Sandstorm...best Finnish song!

afaik they were a largely independent grand duchy for a while but as you noted were veruh stubborn bu**ers

Mad Pauly Day 3,344, 12:35

"Largely" independent, but I don't think Russia would have seen it quite that way. Still, they've done alright with a population that hasn't outstripped London since their independence.

Sir Humphrey Appleby Day 3,344, 13:52

Russia historically hasn't seen many of it's neighbours that way to be fair 😛

Crimfall - best Finnish band

Mad Pauly Day 3,344, 14:34

From the little I've seen of them, I'm impressed

Very much worth getting their CDs - the YouTube videos taken, apparently, using mobiles, don't do them justice. Helena has a spectacular voice, and Jakke's arrangements are hauntingly evocative. One can close one's eyes and visualise an epic film about Vikings.

Apocalyptica - best Finnish band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFl0gQLz2k
