JUKOLA 2010

[Gross]

Graeme's favourite airline, Ryanair have announced a new routing from Edinburgh to Tampere... out on Thursday and back on Sunday evening makes it perfect for Jukola for the Scots... flight leave Tampere at 22:30 so plenty of time to get to the airport.

Ryanair to Tampere from Edinburgh is about £80.

Easyjet to Helsinki (much closer to the event ) from Manchester is about £75.

So the only remaining question is how and where to watch England beat Algeria in the World Cup on 18th June...

I can recommend you a nice wee bar in Glasgow Spookster. If you dare........

I remember watching England v Argentina with Dave Harrison in a bar in the Czech Republic.... the locals couldn't believe it

Hmm, that's not very near Jukola though, is it... Now if you could recommend a bar in Hyvinkää, that would be fine!

What was it they couldn't believe? ...that you were buying Dave a drink?

Thats a fair point Spookster. Still not to worry - I'll meet you there for the final since that practically a certainty going by the media response to the draw.....

Anyone remember Jukola 2002, About 200 people crowded round a tiny 12inch screen in the corner of the beer tent to watch England v Denmark? I think there were about 20 brits on one side, 20 danes inc. Carsten making a lot of noise on the other, and 160 swedes/finns in the middle keeping us apart!

Or after the race the next morning, when they showed the Sweden v. Senegal match on the big screen - pushing 30c already at 9 in the morning and I'd just run an epic last leg, lying on the grass watching it. Brilliant - and my Norwegian team mates weren't too bothered that the Swedes lost....
