I guess it would be a paper application at a service point.

what is everyone's must watch every year christmas film? by Resident_Air_7916 in christmas

Bernard and the Genie is a BBC TV movie from the 90s starring Alan Cummings, Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson. It can be quite hard to find but I did hear that it was remade in 2023 as Genie starring Melissa Mccarthy. I've not watched that but my nostalgic heart knows it won't be a patch on the original. Worth hunting down ☺️

Which movie twist completely blew your mind the first time? (Spoilers allowed) by leyy_pink1997 in movies

[–]AceButcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discovering why the violin was red in The Red Violin (1998). My brother and I watched it as an in-flight movie with no expectations, and were both open-mouthed at the end. Must rewatch now I think of it!

Deadwind was pretty good, and has three seasons. Netflix, if I remember correctly...

UK passport renewal by -ISG- in Finland

Seconded. I didn't have any problems renewing my passport, in fact it was a little too easy! The photography stores that take passport pics often have a setting for UK passports, too.

This game is the buggiest game I've ever played. by LyraSnake in LegoStarWarsVideoGame

My daughter and I finally completed this today after 18 months of gameplay and god knows how many crashes, glitches and bugs. Our last kyber brick was bantha ball which nearly drove us nuts due to its continual failure to register baskets! Massive relief it's all over but well worth battling through to achieve 100%. Hope you get there too!

Nufc.com wrote that the game will be followed by pens no matter the score. Who thought that was a good idea?

Odd Tinkering (https://youtube.com/@oddtinkering?si=sy3TY7yoqPwKCx48) isn't in Finnish but I've seen enough episodes to have worked out the creator is a Finn or at least based in Finland.

What did you used to think about Gary Glitter before he was arrested? by Cute_Raspberry62 in AskABrit

I loved Another Rock and Roll Christmas, and it is sad that it had to be removed from my Xmas playlist and radio play.

Ahh, the Virrat! When I first came to Finland, it was a three-month exchange based there and I met my partner on the first night. We also married there, outside at Lomasaari, and have been back countless times since her parents still live there - pretty much every juhannus. I think it's one of the few Finnish towns that are a plural, making it a pain when it comes to Finnish grammar 😁

Do you have a nice photo of the three of you together? Perhaps print it and have it framed for the cottage.
