    Jolly good show old bean! Indeed, these 'continentals' seem somewhat less predisposed to 'boom' and 'doom', much to their credit. Indeed one's impression is that the Bundesrepubliek is performing quite admirably in assuring the good cheer of her citizens, in no small way thanks to the competence of Mrs Merkel. Perchance she might advise Her Majesty's government on principles of good bookkeeping and fiduciary prudence?

        No. One does not attempt to emulate a Dutch student with one's sartorial choices.

              Plus, the Germans know how to cope with a bit of snow

                What if said Student is 6 foot tall, female and gorgeous and her satorial choice is naked, would you emulate ??
                Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

                Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                  My dear Sir, do you not wish to proceed with this conversation according to civilized standards and etiquette? Do merely wish to act as a troll, wriggling from under your bridge to taunt your interlocutors in a somewhat uncouth fashion? Then I may be forced to request your departure from this thread, even using an expletive referring to the act of copulation!

                      didn't you recently confess your father was a failed business man and you went to comp.

                      As you said we can smell you a mile off, pleb
