Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

63682 - i've no objection to that at all; it's the hypocrisy of insisting on keeping a kosher home (at least strictly no pork or shellfish and similar) but making a mockery of those rules once out

Jb,

Check what goes into your coffee!

I often think you are on LSD.

I thought Manuel's had 2 kitchens.

Mind the your party was a bit mired.

Is Corbyn a schlock, schmuck, schemozzle or schlemiel? Or do all of them fit?

I suspect Cameroon has to pinch himself every morning.

Would that be before or after he's checked the location of his genitalia, Max?

fred - i don't have two houses and nor have i ever lived in a kosher let alone glatt kosher home :-)


iturama - undoubtedly just a schlemiel lording over a schemozzle, but he's certainly no schmuck

A couple of observations while flicking channels:
Last night. A young woman being evicted from benefit assisted accommodation by bailiffs. I must phone mum she said pulling out her rose gold iPhone 6S plus.
Today. Male Syrian migrant at German "refugee" camp calling his wife in Damascus by Skype. Would try to get her over. Escaped to avoid possible military service. Would go back if there was peace.

Wouldn't you?

I suppose all our young men who were called up to fight in the second world war should have run away to somewhere instead of dying in Europe fighting for your freedom Fred.

I learned all about Damascus at school. Apparently it kills 99% of all known germs. :o)

Did you domestic science then; cooking, housekeeping, ironing, being a good wifey?

That's what you have an au pair for, H.

Goodbye Sweden

June 2, 2015






This is the last post on this blog. I am leaving Sweden for good shortly, and will no longer be following its descent from what was once the third most prosperous country in the world. Frankly, it’s just too damn depressing.

I was born and raised in Sweden, which leaves a cultural mark even though I moved to USA in the 1990s and have spent the better part of my adult life as an American. Coming back for a few years has been a shocking experience.

When I was a child, Sweden was a dull yet very safe place to live. Yes, there was a heavy blanket of socialism and collectivist values covering everything, but there was a core of pragmatism beneath the redness. The intention and goal was always to benefit the citizens, even though they went about things in a backwards manner.

JB.

A lot of the upper echelons of society escaped to America and elsewhere, but prepared to sacrifice somebody else's life for their goods.

Look it up!

Max,

I am sure that he will leave a noticeable hole in Sweeden by his absence.

Oh dear! What do you make of this?

Again Fred you didn't answer the question .

I suppose all our young men who were called up to fight in the second world war should have run away to somewhere instead of dying in Europe fighting for your freedom Fred.

You seem to think it's fine for these Syrian lads to run to Europe and leave their women behind.

ah no; that was deemed cowardice or somesuch whereas this is called looking to better yourself and your family
