It has not gone on without many a sad eyebrow twitching.<BR/><BR/>Finland is slap bang in the middle of this OR AT LEAST IT USED TO BE until it tried to play USA-UK games that satisfied only a few. If comments here come forward I would try to expand and be clear but enough for now on a weekend of bombs up arses.<BR/><BR/>Today in one publication I called, with a tongue in cheek, for the return of PETSAMO due to the Arctic Power Games. I implied a return to the "Petsamo Station".<BR/><BR/>The "Finland Station" was of course the subject of a very good book by E.Wilson.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that blog Merk.zola a social thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206983697656466653noreply@blogger.com
