Well... I guess it's better late than never. What a great surprise to see this topic just when I dropped by to check the forum. As Heartc said, this is a curse Happy Birthday Laakoota (sorry if I mispelled it, long time I haven't written it). Best whishes mate. I'll check later on ICQ to see if I can catch you there sometime.
I meant Laatokka, his old ICQ nickname, I think it is a name of a lake or something, he explained me once. Nice to see you too HJM.
I think that lake is the one next to St Petersberg. During the Siege of Leningrad, it used to freeze and Finns enjoyed bouncing cannon balls on the ice and bowling Russians. %)
