Frig! Australia has raised its age limit to 50 and IT is on the shortage list...I'm filling in the form now. I'll be outta Europe and the grotty UK within a year.

All Strange - so that is the Lustee's name then.

Not allowed a viewpoint (those admin guys will delete my posts on Europe)

What the hell are you talking about? Vets? Not allowed a viewpoint? The mods will only delete your post if it's racist/inflammatory etc.

So the UK doesn't need to fork out billions to "save the Euro"?

then again

So you're saying the German version of Der Spiegel is completely different to the English online edition?
If it wasn't you I might believe you.
As it is,given your track record and the fact it's clear you don't know what the Economist actually is, I'll conclude you''re talking complete bollux out of your arse again.

HTH, BIDI

Actually, I have every economist "the world in ...." going back to 1998 or so, I enjoy reading them at the end of the year to see how far of the mark most of the predictions are.

The German version of Der Spiegel has amongst other things a sports section and a culture section that don't appear to get translated. So yes, they are different, it's a far more rounded offering. As I say they also do several other editions e.g. a history magazine, science magazine, kids edition etc.

My track record includes highlighting the need for UK politicians to ensure that the UK's interests are protected however the current debt crisis plays out and especially in the case of closer cooperation amongst the Eurozone countries, something that until recently everyone else seemed to think was an impossibility. Luckily for us Mr Cameron seems to agree with me.

Der Spiegel is a current affairs magazine not a newspaper, more akin to the Economist than the Mail.

This says more about the intellectual level of the British media than it says about German politics.

Workers of the World Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

Sorry.

I think it's the drugs talking.

Have you eaten Pete Docherty?

[DodgyAgent]

I completely agree that the UK and Europe are close economically (which shows a lack of foresight on the part of UK business leaders).
I'm just flagging up the tulip that you lot are in. Not me as my economic situation is not dependent on the EUro economy to any great extent.

So SAS where exactly are you picking up your benefits from these days?

[sasguru]

So SAS have you ever considered the fact that France and the UK maybe connected economically and financially, so if France go to the wall the UK be affected badly? Or is SasLand is UK completely independent?

So to sum up you read a few snippets of Der Spiegel that are translated into English and have a subject matter overlap with the economist and you think they are the same thing?

You should pick up a copy of Dein Spiegel.

Both weekly news magazines, liberal, generally supporting the free market and tolerant of immigration. I subscribe to the Economist and read the english Spiegel online. Not much difference to be had.

Perhaps you can explain why the Economist is so different.

Cretin.
