Merkozy ( or Sarkel, if you like ) completely lost the plot

Their latest idea is an ammendment of the EU-contract, resulting in better control of the so called GISPI - countries ( Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Irland ). I am afraid the people of these countries won´t accept further submission and the Euro runaway train stays firmly on course towards the abysm.  Happens, when you cram a lot of different cultures and
mentalities under one hat. Looking at those chiflados to the left you think Europe is in good hands ?  Me neither. Leaving for Bolivia tonight.
                            

Wish, Germany could shut up for 5 minutes

Seems to be impossible, since Germany has always to be in the middle of something. Financial crisis, dioxin scandal, a damn germ called EHEC and the ongoing Greece desaster, now temporarily replaced by right- wing terrorism. Politicians are argonizing, how to solve the problem and imo stop transfering billions of Euros to foreign countries and stop transfering competencies to Brussels would be a good start. Patriotism is the last thing on my mind, but when huge amounts of peoples money are spent for questionable purposes and sovereignty is partly handed over to eurocrats, who are not democratically elected and were sent to Brussels, because their homeland has no more use for them, some folks boil over. Germany these days is nuttier than a " Madness " - video.

Cheltenham 2012 Festival Antepost Treble

Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly @ 2.75 ( left )*** 3rd
David Nicholson Mares Hurdle - Quevega @ 2.50*** won
World Hurdle - Big Bucks @ 1.80*** won
All three are top-class performer and proven over course & distance. I expect them to make short work with the opposition and get on, before the odds shorten any further.

Destilled a fruit called pepino...

... for the first time. I am quite pleased with the outcome, as it  turned out to be a quality product.
