Latest published articles

Posted on ALL our major blogs - my Jacob's Blog, the Oulu CHAFF Blog, the Mumbai Cathedralites Seventh Heaven Blog and the Delhi Stephanians Kooler Talk Blog.

Annikki was Chairperson of The English Club of Oulu almost 2 decades ago. We were also the first Life members of the Club. The Finn-Brits Magazine is the publication of The Federation of Finnish-British Societies under which English Clubs function all around Finland to promote the English Language and the cultures associated with English speakers.

Cover of Autumn 2007 edition.

The magazine decided to do a special feature about Oulu in the Autumn 2007 edition and they asked us for a couple of articles.

The first was an article about the Chamber of Assistance for Finns and Foreigners which was founded by Jacob and a few friends a couple of years ago. The article was authored by the present CHAFF Monitor, Ildikó Hámos-Sohlo, along with Jacob.

The second, a highly controversial one was authored by Annikki and Jacob about the lack of Free Speech in Oulu.

Hope you enjoy them!

Live Audio Cricket Commentary

I think I have found a rogue site which is broadcasting the live audio cricket commentary from the semi-final between India and Australia.

You can listen at

Here is a screen shot of the site (it is not a link),



I think you may have to have Windows Media Player a a plugin.

Adam Gilchrist has just been bowled by Sreesanth.

On one computer I have the text commentary from the cricinfo.com site and with the live audio, I am quite content.

However, the commentators are not quite professional. At one point he was talking about the life and loves of Mark Ramprakash rather than what was going on on the field.

The descriptions are not truly cricketing, but at least it is better than nothing.
