Christmas is close so here a tip for those of you with small kids.

Finnish Postal Service has an official Santa Claus Post Office. You can order online a letter from Santa Claus to be sent to a child, just fill in details and the kid gets a personal letter from Santa before Christmas. The letter can be in one of these languages, selectable on the order page: Finnish, Swedish, English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese.

Order your letter from Santa: https://verkkokauppa.posti.fi/PublishedService?theme=9&pageID=18&freePage=2002 (in English).

Website of Santa Claus Main Post Office: Santa Claus' Main Post Office (in English).

If you would like to write to Santa, the address is:

Brilliant! Thanks Kari. I'll get my homework done for the kids!

 

[Kari]

Just one more thing about this letter from Santa: the company behind the service is the official postal service of Finland, so it is trustworthy and safe.

Was going to answer "Bloody cold!" as I remember it, decided then to check official statistics from Internet.

The average daily temperature during Polar Night period (November to February) is about -17°C (1.4°F). Because the sun remains below the horizon the difference between day and night temperatures is really small.

Living in the north central part of the US, I know all about bitterly cold weather in the winter months, but at least we have the sun (when its shining that is) for around 8 hours a day. I can't imagine it being dark for 24 hours a day. That would take a lot of getting use to for me.

You need to get a new Job adviser your current one is clearly useless.

Sorry, I just couldn't sit back and do nothing for 10 days let alone 10 years.

My step-brother is going to on go Job Seekers Allowance, but he's also getting advice about how to make his CV and interview skills better, as well as, doing a course in Customer Service

He has technically got a job at Primark, but they have but him on the waiting list, since there might be another Primark being opened up where I live, so then we would have two instead of one, which is kinda pointless and annoying since there will be so much more traffic.

John,
Please don't list anymore freebies.
I can't handle it!

Why doesn't he get a job walking the neighbors dogs and make his daily walks with
Gracie a profitable one?
I see young people around here walking 2-4 dogs everyday.

I can't change my job adviser.

I have been watching Cars 2 on my PC this evening and I really love that film, they should make another one.

To be PC for the sensitive sort we have over 500 more in Congress.

Look! stop discussing this.

 

[Golden]

I thought you were getting a job driving buses? Or working for a bus company?

Don't you need a drivers license to drive a bus? :sarc:

Gracie got her DL but I don't think Carl did.

Carl,
If we didn't care about you or concerned for your well being we would not be trying to
motivate you.
