How's THAT for pedantry?!"


Not very good. ;-0


sUOmi is the Finnish for Finland, as i know from my happy childhood as a

philatelist, and a somewhat depraved later spell living in St Petersburg,

and nipping over there to stock up on decent gin.


BTW - did anyone notice the sig of the guy who started off the original coke

thang - it was something like "Marketing Director & New Media". A person,

yet a medium at the same time. . .my philosophy cortex can't cope. . . or is

it just a totally daft job title by virtue of being linguistically nonsense?

good to see marketers keeping the "plain english" at the forefront


vroom vroom!

P.S My housemate's been screwed by Internet Money as well. I believe he is

currently bitching to a lot of journalists, and good on him - I urge

everybody else to blacken their name as much as humanly possible.
