I've used Hammaspeikko (Tooth Fairy) on Hietaniemenkatu, found them to be very thorough and

Looks like I'll have to resort to desperate measures and order direct from the manufacturers, according to their website: We are a Narakjung Company. We have a origin place in Thailand that certificate of origin. We are selling food and drink. Actually We mostly sale chicken and about food if you wa...

My dog won't fit in the microwave I'm afraid, and I don't expect my neighbours to invite me round for lunch anytime soon!

What's the issue with those tasty morsels they have been dishing up in the frozen section of most supermarkets for the past year or so?

If you're employed and from the EU then once you register as a Finnish resident the residence permit is 'valid until further notice'. I understand this to imply unofficial permanent residency which may be subject to change. Af...

Yeah I know, was just looking up 'eager' in the dictionary, pulled it open at E and erection was the first word which popped out. Maybe 'popped out' is the wrong term to use, but I thought it might be a cruel joke if I could only get my grammar right. Oh well, time to book one of those summer langua...

Hmm.. just pulled out the wad of useless cards in my wallet to see if my Kela card has an expiry date - which it doesn't - then took a closer look at my residence permit card which feckin' expired 2 years ago!
