    An Irish guy in Helsinki organised a parade and an "Irish day", so myself and the girlfriend went down to see it and to make a weekend out of it (we stayed with some Irish friends). The week leading up to the parade had great weather, sun was out, snow was melted from the paths it was looking good... until saturday morning when nature decided winter should not be over yet and we got two days of snow. The parade was really simple there was an Irish and modern dance group, a group of people from a local pub and then any Irish person dressed in green or flags who decided to join in (they were trying to increase numbers). My friends and I fell into the last group :D , we were frozen during the parade because the snow would hit us then melt quickly drenching us and making the freezing conditions worse, but sure it was all in good fun. It was Helsinki's first parade, hopefully next year they will have a float or two. The locals had never seen anything like it before so we got a great reception (the police were everywhere, they must have thought there was going to be a riot or something) :D

    Too cold at that stage. Fair play to the nutters who volunteered to do it.

    Yes - and every car dealer's forecourt in the country. Pity you missed the sarcasm - it couldn't have been more obvious. I pity you for being so slow.
