Chorus:

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me.

Verse:

You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan.
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Chorus:

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Verse:

You're so sadly neglected,
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Chorus:

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Repeat: Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Fade: Finland has it all...

Music to my ears Dave, I guess thats why you dont meet the Finns in London theyre too busy pony trekking and camping, or just watching TV.

Isnt there a Finnish contracting board, or Finnish pony trekking site where CUK could go for its summer holiday tour ?

Aye Francko

Leaving the World Cup aside, have you been back to Helsinki recently he asked with a knowing wink ?

Nah, the stallion has been idle for the last two years since he embraced the bizarre concept of monogamy.

[Francko]

Yes

ditto for Portugal,Germany,Holland,Arabia,South America, and the whole of the African continent... and of course all of Eastern Europe

No way for Holland and Germany. The only dutch and german here are for a cultural change or to perfectionate their english. Only the unemployment benefits in Germany are worth more than an average job in London.

[Francko]

Are the economies of Italy and France that bad that so many would choose to live in London?

Yes.

[sasguru]

I've never met a Finn- without asking them directly how would I recognise them in the street from say a Swede or Norge?

By a morose expression and alcohol on the breath.

Have you noticed that the Finns are conspicous by their absence from London, perhaps they know something that we dont ?

I think the scariest thing is how many Italians and French their are living in the UK?

The streets of East London where full last night. Are the economies of Italy and France that bad that so many would choose to live in London?

Yes

ditto for Portugal,Germany,Holland,Arabia,South America, and the whole of the African continent... and of course all of Eastern Europe

France were the better team, penalties aside.

[Xenophon]

Well done Italy. I am delighted to report that the beeping of car horns only kept me awake for part of the night too...
