Speaking of monitors here's some Finnish ones. The first is one they supposedly captured from the Soviets.

Not a clue what ship that is.
Two Finnish Coastal Defence ships where pretty much similar in outlook, those latter pictures.

Yes we know. Venezia, Livorno, Milano, Roma, Napoli, Turino, Baloney [sik][sic]. Just don't say Vienna (Wien, pronounced 'veen'). You may however continue to pronounce Worcester Wooster, Leicester Lester, New Orleans Nawlins,
Burma Shave 'Burma Shave', Espania Spain. You get my point.

So, you play a game of poker with Sue and Honey. Honey decides not to ante and Sue loses. Who must pay you? Not Magyar but Suomi.

I love Livorno! Nice sea, nice girls, nice ponci (rum & cognac) and nice cinque-e-cinque (col pepe ma senza melanzane).
What you say? I live there? Oh, yes, I live here [:D]
