Britain is a small offshore Island with horrendous financial problems. As a world power it's a has been, to the rest of Europe it's pretty much an irrelevance. Get used to it.

None of the above. Yasser Arafat. He systematically and cynically betrayed the very people he was claiming to support by using them to promote his aims and worse yet deliberately inculcated a set of lies that have now become memes that will see pain and suffering throughout the...

Few and far between in Dundee as well! :laughing:

Michael O'Leary of Ryanair goes into a Dublin pub and asks for a pint of Guinness. "That'll be two Euros," says the barman. "That's a reasonable price," replies O'Leary. "Would you like a glass with that sir?" asks the barman

It's pretty obvious there's a systemic attack on the Euro by American "interests". I see Greece PM is contemplating some form of legal action.

Go Germany! I'm with the Germans on this one. They're being expected to bail out a country in which the population appear to be broken hearted at the prospect of either living within their means based on what they can export to pay for what they want or living to a standard based on...

BAD idea. VERY bad idea, at least for the rest of us in the EU.

In this case the consequences if you fail :petrified:

[/FONT] Not stay away, at least not from most countries or most parts of all countries, but at least be aware that Americans are thought to be naïve, have masses of cash, and easy targets. There are some places to avoid like the plague however, either because the way of what is...

‘K, I can be a bit cryptic (or just bloody difficult to understand!) and at times I can be a bit precocious as well! :ashamed2: I quoted the original Chaucerian line that has spawned so many variations, and all based on the principle that if you try to get what you want by associating...

What is your definition of "racist"?

There are someplaces where decent people simply don't go if for no other reason than they dislike the smell of those at home there.

Strikes me you haven't anywhere near enough cash budgeted. For 30 days, and assuming you will need to pay for hotel rooms, travel in Europe, etc. I would take at least 10,000 (really) and also make use of the extensive ATM network in Europe rather than carry significant amounts in cash. And...

To quote from Chaucer’s “Squires Tale” from the Canterbury Tales written around c. 1390 (ish) “Therfore bihoueth hire a ful long spoon That shal ete with a feend” and which is today quoted as “When you dine with the Devil use a long spoon”. Oh c’mon – gimmee a break! It’s...

"Posted on Stormfront" Says it all.

Yes. There is no need for a “god”. Any “god”. “God” serves no useful purpose beyond as a means used by some men to control others. When I was young my father taught me to "fear God". Later in life I realised that there was no god, and why I should fear ‘him’ even...

Looks to me like one of the growing number of “virtual World” sites that use games playing as a means of evading currency exchange laws between countries. There’s a very well known one (no names – no pack drill!) that people have been using for some considerable time.

There’s a whole lot more to what makes up a people than the "genes in their Jeans". Other than physical and capabilities at best all they do is establish predispositions. What is significant are memes, the basis of so much of the “nature Vs. nurture” factor, in short never mind the cell...

Quite apart from anything else it is generally considered good “forum” etiquette to at least attribute an article that has been cut and pasted from elsewhere to its source. This article appears on a number of web sites and forums, not least on the Shenzen party site in 2009.

The Bilderberg Group have a great deal to answer for.
