Grimmy - 06-07-09
My name is
Jyri, being in my 30-ish and coming from Espoo, Finland. For those not having a single clue of my whereabouts or the country overall, Nokia and Finlandia Vodka are a few brands originating from here along with some rather well driving world rally championship, moto GP and formula 1 drivers.
Am a music enthusiast, ex-DJ as well as a movie and Superstar enthusiast. Love many kinds of music and good movies preferably with good company.
As for my nick.. well, that's a long story and will tell it some day later.
As for the Superstars.. been into them all my life really, more or less. Got my first ones as a kid and have worn out countless pairs over the last 25 years or so.
Currently own 27 pairs of Adidas trainers. 19 pairs of them are Superstars, 2 are Stan Smiths, 4 are various running models and 2 are sadly 35ths i've confirmed to be fakes and of which the other pair my better half just a few days ago got me as a surprise present for her misfortune. Haven't got rid of those damn things yet and need to sort that deal and seller out to get her her money back.

Greetings!
How could you forget to mention the leg-ends that are Sami Hyypia and Jari Litmanen?
Jari even has his own pair of kicks.
Enjoy the forum.

Thanks all for the kind welcome!
Actually i've been lurking around here for quite a while and now i finally decided to join in.
Was just plain stupid and probably under the influence of too much alcohol when i ended up with a pair of fake 35th Berlins. But i have no idea how and why did my better half manage to get me a pair of fake Ian Browns after all the lessons i've given her about the countless fakes sold through on eBay.
Heh, i don't follow football that much, apart from some Champions league games but yes, i did forget our very own ball kickers.
