    I don't know what Dave said to Merkel

    But there is a German frigate parked on the thames.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Is this related to Top Gear last week inviting the Germans to come over and see what England is like (but not all at once, or at night)?

                    I googled it. It's the F218 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
