I can even spell the name of every Finnish person I know; they can't fool me by merely stringing 18 vowels together-I got'em covered.:D
Where in Finland, Petri?
In Tampere, the third largest city of Finland (population over 200 000)... though according to the EU it's not a city, since there aren't enough people in relation to its geographical size. :rolleyes:Quote:

This may be a UK quirk but I thought in order to be a city one had simply to have a Cathederal.Quote:

Your favorite movies include one of mine: The Shawshank Redemption.
Dark City is also excellent and quite unique. Hard to really describe it to anyone who has not watched it.
In addition to the quality of the movie, it was my introduction to Jennifer Connelly. :w00t:
Dark City = The MatrixQuote:

EDIT: Actually, it's Matrix that's similar to Dark City, as it was filmed later...
The only thing that was good about Dark City was the dark gritty city setting.Quote:

If you have a population of 200,000 and a Catherdral then you live in a city. Any decision to the contrary is just perverse and indicitive perhaps of unrequited love or some other mishap on the part of the official concerned on a visit to your said city.
I am not sure if denomination is an issue - most Cathederals predate the reformation anyway.
Edit: The Mound is a place in Edinburgh where the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland meets and should not be taken to mean that J2's eyes were averted from certain anatomical characteristics - although as a gentleman I am sure he is circumspect in such matters. :rolleyes:

But the second is more troubling. Clearly your keyboard has been posessed by the spirit of J2. Had I seen the words: "anet, nonce or vis-a-vis" I would have been convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You people have begun to run amok.
Deal me in. :D

I meant to include a vis-a-vis - oversight on my part.

I am not even sure if the Cathederal still needs to be in use. Both Brechin and Elgin are cities but I am pretty sure both Cathederals are less than fully functional.
I'm only for it if the fetus hasn't developed yet... everything is still microscopic. I'm sure there's something you can take day to day that goes in and prevents anything from proceed towards developing the fetus with today's technology. Don't let that fetus form, and you should be wiping the seamen with a tissue.

Only in certain circumstances.

But just my honest opinon take it or leave it. ;)
Why rape and not "just because she may not want it"?Quote:
