CUTTING THE MUSTARD
Due to more Finnish things getting prime-time your favourite Zola decides to say more in this atmospheric angst. ( Change colours now)
After one of my texts was hijacked by the www.coms I received an e-mail from a skateboarder. Yes! A skateboarder. Me? But it seems that one of my anti-sport-pro texts was thought to be a youthful celebration of skateboarding (which it was).
Anyway to come to the mustard and cut the crap : here is news :

Finns are mentioned everywhere in international skateboarding circles. There is even a board with " TURUN SINAPPI" splashed across it ( for sale in most countries). But this is the problem. Turun Sinappi is no longer Finnish due to takeovers and all that.
This is why, in our good house, we use " AURAN SINAPPI".
No skateboard yet has that on it.
Zola remains ahead.

Turun? Turku.
Auran? The Aura river of Turku.
Sinappi? Mustard ( which cannot hack it with COLEMANS of Norwich City Football Club!!!!)

For Anticant and LB and BoldScot : this skateboarding is a popular activity where a board on wheels is rolling along with human bodies on top trying to pretend to be in control. Skateboarders get ASBO status rather easily.

Prize to be given for the best picture of Anticant on a skateboard. Entries in this week please.

I taught a class of 6 which had a real rich-kid, ASBO type of pain in the arse.
Remember giving the standard Berlitz stuff 'will you be going to University?' as part of my preamble to things like 'you need to blah blah in order to..blah blah'.
He told me in beautiful English, 'I don't need to study, my father is buying me a skateboard shop for my 16th birthday'
He was a wee cunt and the only person I have ever thrown out of a class (remember they pay big bucks).
Still, I tried everything to get these guys speaking.
Cracked it one day.
Asked them to prepare a 10 minute whiteboard presentation about a hobby (very against the rules).
Next time.
This wee bastard spoke perfect English during a presentation which lasted nearly an hour and a half !!!!!
Everything about skateboards, hoodies, fashion etc.
(He also brought in his new decals and floor for his skateboard - a piece of sandpaper which would have cost me half a week's wages).

Do I know about fucking skateboards?
Better believe it.
