Long may they remain in office! And Mrs Merkel, of course - her help has been truly invaluable. <br /><br />You speak the lingo - what's the German term for "piss artist" (presumably not "Piss Künstler")?Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-21471181102358982202018-07-14T23:09:28.571+01:002018-07-14T23:09:28.571+01:00An hour-long primetime BBC1 or ITV documentary fea...An hour-long primetime BBC1 or ITV documentary featuring nothing but shots of Eurocrats stuffing their faces in some of those agreeable Michelin-starred watering-holes would probably help push the Brexit vote above 60%, if the referendum were to be rerun.

Juncker, if you've been out on "the Turps" a half bottle of Imodium should see you through most situations. You can probably claim it on expenses?<br /><br />Do you remember the famous incident when Fidel Castro walked straight over the edge of a stage or "De Edge" dropped off the side of a platform during one of his amusing solos. Or the marathon runner whose legs turned to jelly and had to be helped over the finishing line at the Melbourne Olympics. Take care, Mr Juncker, we need you alive to guarantee our exit.SDGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-49042666840305776292018-07-14T02:11:37.730+01:002018-07-14T02:11:37.730+01:00There is definitely something of the Winston Churc...There is definitely something of the Winston Churchill about Brussels. <br />Single malts and champagne are consumed in vast quantities...apparently. southern mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-31472839607576154172018-07-14T01:58:31.990+01:002018-07-14T01:58:31.990+01:00Those Belgian beers really are delicious and so ma...Those Belgian beers really are delicious and so many to choose from.
