:D

I must say that for me hirmupakkanen = -30 is still a way away. After three years in Finland (Helsinki), I can only manage a measly -15 before I start questioning the location of my existence. :oops:

Any advise on how long before I am at finnish levels??

When you are bare-headed in a thin coat with buttons open on a +10 day pointing your finger and giggling at some poor bugger off the plane with a pipo and ski jacket :wink: ... though here in the UK they do it to me, and they're wearing shorts and a t-shirt :cry:

OMG, that is so true it's almost not funny! The obvious one missing is
Salahäät = "Mitä, emme saaneet kutsua ja yksinoikeudella juttua???"

The tabloid headers have gotten really bad, seems like they don't even try anymore but just pick one from the list above.

i can't believe how full of Rubbish these magazines are. But it sells better to use that "KOHU" word, or "superpakkanen"
