    Where is Pooperscooter?

    His valuable unbiased opinion on the issues arising in Europe would be a welcome read in these dark times (or at least make us chuckle!).

        Angela Merkel arriving in Paris to meet the new president of France was stopped by French immigration offiers.

        "Nationality?", she was asked,
        "German", came the reply.
        "Occupation?" the official continued,
        "No, I'm only here for a few days".

            Giant Haystacks was a great big professional wrestler who won just by being so big that he did what he liked in the ring and still won. It was so boring that the public stopped tuning in, opponents gave up, and thus he unwittingly killed off Saturday afternoon professional wrestling with Kent Walton.

            Germany is a great big economy in the eurozone.

              It's not unreasonable to ask that people live within their means and actually earn the money rather than get in debt to finance lifestyle.

                  Understandable if people want a free ride, it's the twats who keep giving it to them at other people's expense that get up my nose.

                    People are misled by politicians into thinking that the "rich" can be made to pay for the mess that we are in, if only it were so simple.
                    "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero
