I know you have the big C over there.
We have the Big K right here in Tampere, but we try to use it sensibly. We don't have caps in our email address and we don't want any. We have a big N.
Now, our lovely provincial friends in Suvimäki seem to love the American Way.
That is all right. However, I would have liked to correspond with Suvimäki by email. Apparently some monster ate my emails. I sent out a knight on a black horse to sort it out, he hasn't returned yet. I've got knights to spare.
I don't know the initials of the monster, I just want someone to open its guts for me. Tell me what it ate and why. Tell me why Suvimäki wants a big K in the middle of their email address where it will do no good to anyone who loves computers.
I recommend Suvimäki to try to speak the Näsinkulma language when they speak to Näsinkulma.
I recommend a Big S and a little K, to begin with.
You know Tampere? You know our boss? You know his attitude?
Then you know what I'm talking about.
We're the last city on this corner of the planet to remember Lenin. We still discuss him in the bars at night.
We are the unemployed. We are the busy people who do projects. We are the girls and boys who always earned their own candy. We ar enot working-class because the politicians tell us this is not a class society. We are not outcasts because this is not a cast society.
We are the citizens of a proud young nation.
We are the men and women who pay the debts of our grandmothers and our grandfathers. Russia may keep good old Karelia where everything was bigger - Lake Laatokka smells bad these days! My family got away with their lives and then, later, hitchiked back to buy the paintings from the walls that weren't theirs anymore.
I am the daughter of Lapland, the granddaughter of Lahti, Lohja and Viipuri-beyond-the-border. I am the daughter of Asikkala Parish and Ryttylä Bible School.
I am the lover of the internet. I am the working girl of Tampere. I am the university politician who was relieved not to be elected. I am the lady who listens and the girl who makes no promises.
I used to give the drunken guys and the dames in distress the business card of a church.
Now I would like to give them a different address...
Charlie's here - do we have any angels? Rusty ones will do just fine! ;D
