Two famous finnish comedy actors; Pertti "Spede" Pasanen and Vesa-Matti "Vesku" Loiri. I grew up with their movies so they are very important people for me. This photo is from one of their most famous films.



(Note: No, I didn't live at the time most of their films were made in 70's and 80's because I was born in 1994. But they're legends so that's why I grew up with them too

Just read the thread and must say, like many other, that this people are just sick and have serious problems. Luckily I haven't met this kind of procedure. But if I ever will, you can be sure that I won't keep my mouth shut about it.

I watched the whole wedding. They are such a beautiful couple and really deserve to be happily together. Everything was so gorgeus and romantic. Can't wait to see the dinner party.

Yesterday we had boiled eggs, Karelia's pies and salad with cucumber, tomatoes and macaroni.
Today we had chicken soup.

Karelia's pie is basically a thin ryebread filled with white rise. Here's a pic http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lNbV-8IlwtI/SZB0ruzWcjI/AAAAAAAAAKU/W63gQ6hfs-c/s400/karjalan.jpg

Hilla, you are welcome! This is also great to have here another person from beautiful Northern Europe.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what are your attitude to Mannerheim? Among your classmates and familiars for example? Do you study him in school? Sadly, according to my information he is becoming more and more controversial figure in Finland with a big help of different Finnish left-wing establishment.

Btw, maybe you've already seen a huge thread dedicated to him? You can find there only one of his main sides - Russian (1887-1918). Something like: brave Russian General, close to Nicholas II Officer, favourite of Polish women and man from the Petersburg - narrow, but at the same time important period of his life story. I'm planning to continue writing about him in chronologically: Finnish Civ. War, interwar period, Winter War and so on till the end.

Nicolá, I don't mind asking but that's a very hard question. I don't see there's any attitude to him. Among my aged and a bit older finnish people he's such a neutral character. People hardly know who he was. We didn't study lot about him but I guess there will be more in higher schools. And yes, he's an controversial figure among the "big people", but not really among "the normal people" like me. Of course people have different views but they don't talk about them.

I support your plan about writing of him. People should know him better.

I'm sorry I couldn't really give you a sensible respond.

Ok, I should have written here when I registered and that was like 7 months ago. Oops I forgot. But anyway now I'm here. So my name is Hilla and I'm 15 year old girl from Finland. I'm very proud of my name because it's the finnish name for cloudberry, which I think is a very nice berry. I'm the only child of my family and have always dreamed such siblings like OTMA had. I have a 7 year old dog, a schipperke. She's the number 1 thing in my life.
I have many hobbies like riding, singing, learning french... Next year I'm gonna start skating again. I quit when I was 6. But I love it so I want to go back to ice. In august I will go to college and start learning russia and french for real. I'm looking forward to that.
I've been interested in history since I saw the lovely cartoon movie "Anastasia" when I was little. And few years ago I started to search how things really went and bam! I got stucked in this world. But in a good way.
I'm very exited because I might have a chance to go to St. Petersburg in summer. That would be my third visit there but first time I could visit the palaces. That would be very interesting.

Funny though that I'm mostly very quiet person but sometimes, like now, I just keep talking and talking about myself
