Nope, we need all the rope we can get, suicide season about to begin.

I once got involved in a (very drunk) argument with a bunch of Norwegians about which country had the highest suicide rate. They were anxious to hold on to their number one spot in the suicide league, but Finland had overtaken them that year.

Decades of mismanagement. And society's shit as well. However, I put that down to the weather. There's no wonder we're all so bloody angry with the weather being so gadawfully miserable all the time...

Just think how pissed you'd have to be to want to get anywhere near that. Put me off my breakfast, that has.

Typical expat because that's usually the reason we left in the first place. I avoid going back as much as possible, but my wife still likes the old place, sometimes I have to go with her.

I put it down to the overcrowding, the weather has always been shit in the UK, but we didn't used to be so bloody miserable to each other. A selective cull of about 30% of the population should help. We expats are doing our bit for Britain by living elsewhere Very Happy

So you then spend your time slagging off the old country and bigging up the new. I love it here but don't slag off every country I visit, that would be rude. No problem with you leaving however.
Remind me, how much do bikes cost in Finland?

I simply posted a link to an article in a British newspaper, the results of a factual survey.

Too fucking much! I paid 5k for a 2003 Fireblade last week, and that was a genuine end of season bargain. I didn't say everything was great here. Crap beer, -30 in the winter, +30 in the summer, plenty to complain about here if people want to.
