    I went to Helsinki once. It was the most boring place I have ever been, Ireland included.

    Legalise the possession of firearms.

    And hookers. Definately hookers.

    The irony of it all is that the character in Die Hard was actually referring to "Stockholm Syndrome" and incorrectly called by its common misnomer "Helsinki Syndrome". So the mistake had been made before the dumb Anchor even says "as in Helsinki Sweden" (or maybe that was the whole point?) :)

    Back in the mid 90's Ruairi Quinn promised that Ireland could be 'As rich and as boring as Switzerland'.

    How can a place be boring? Surely it is the person that is boring.

    I was just looking up reviews of Helsinki there and it got quite a bashing, so I decided to check the reviews of Ireland and the general thing said is that its a very nice pretty country but kind of bland.

    How can we change this?

    Pole Dancers on the spire?.
    Free Guinness,Cider and condoms for all citizens?.
    Free Kebabs on Weekend?.
    Topless day every Friday?.
    Bottomless Day every Saturday?.
    Looting ,Rampaging and ravishing night every full moon?.
    And surprise tourist massacre day..........eh well thats a surprise.
    That should sort out the bland label.
