Europe Day

First they came for the light bulbs, and I did not speak out as I wasn't a light bulb

Just not that bright

One supposes, dear Fragony, that this conspiracy is headed by the Illuminati?

Meh, Europeans know that wars are won and lost all the time. You lose, another family is installed to rule over you, you change the flags in the attic, and out you go waving like a madman at the latest family to use your tax money for their personal enrichment. It is customary to shed tears of happiness when they marry or have babies.

This is why it all went wrong in the twentieth century. The Germans have no sense of humour. So when they lose a war, all hell breaks lose, because they can't cope. And when they win a war, they think it should be to the complete annihilation of their opponent. These are breaches with the finest of European traditions.
The Russians are perhaps most of all still true to the European peasantry tradition of stoicism about which strong man is this time raising himself to überape over all the eye can see. There's always a new strong man next year, they've seen it all. Or perhaps the Russians are simply drunk most of the time. You'd be a hit with drunk semi-intellectuals and hot girls in a Paris philosophy bar. You sound loaded and easy to extract at least several rounds of drinks from as long as the girls curl themselves all over you.

Ha, I wish

Ha, I wish

Me, I wish I had obeyed the rules of clear logic and of division between thoughts in that post.

The 'X Factor', EU style.

First Prize: one billion euros. That's right. One billion.


That's $1.4 billion for all you paupers in the United 'Oops, we hit the legal debt ceiling' States.

Illuminati is a Bilderberg invention

I'll have you know Prince Philip might be older, but he moves well and turns a lovely flank.

Typical, the EU has decided for us that mobster-state Croatia can join yay. That is really good because eurocrats know that more EUSSR is always good because ehhhhhhh I dunno it just is

Rubbish, Frags. Mistaken North European stereotyping, shame on you.

It is Bulgaria and Romania which are the mobster states. Croatia is the fascist state.

No, no. I was led to believe Irish studs have been pretty much out of the question for quite some time now. Breeding's done with fine Holsteiners and Hanoverians.

pfft your talking about showjumping which is the sport of the middle class and therefore the bourgeoise and most definately not the sport of kings.(plus the fine irish showjumping horses of the 1980 were sold to Germany cos flat and national hunt are just better fullstop)

“Croatia is the fascist state”, which is an improvement considering that last time Croatia was independent it was a Nazi State.
So we give applause of encouragement to Croatia.

Thanks
