[BIG BAD JOHN]

When I heard that Angela Merkel had once again opened her mouth this morning with her tuppence worth on the Greek Election (which consisted really of yet another way of saying "we have ways of making you pay") my reaction was why doesn't she keep her trap shut for everytime words spring to her lips, she just makes things worse.
You have to think that if Herr Kohl were still at the controls in Germany we would not have arrived at our collective sorry state.
SIngle-handedly (now that the tiny but perfectly formed Monsieur Sarkozy has been given his cards by the French electorate) she continues to push what might have been merely a calamity towards a continental catastrophe.

[who what when]

I've said it before and i'l say it again. There's something in those German jenes that make them hell bent on world domination. They found out the hard way that they couldnt do it through war so now they're trying economics instead!

[Praetorian Saighdiuir]

I would get great pleasure in smacking Merkel with a sweaty sock right across that crazy face of hers.

Stoopid Frauline.

I don't believe anyone told them that, but they are by far the biggest economy in it and that economy is in pretty good shape at the moment. That inevitably gives them some degree of prestige and influence. After all, Realpolitik (look it up!) is originally a German word.

No one made her the Führer (the German word for "leader") of the Eurozone, but her party did come out as the biggest in parliamentary elections, which gave her the right to become Chancellor of Germany. She wouldn't have been my first choice, but that's democracy for you. As for the four-letter word you misspell, it's Fotze in German. Add it to your existing vocabulary of vulgarities.

Oh it is so tiresome to hear the same auld cheap jokes rolled against the Germans time and time again.

Perhaps if we had of behaved ourselves we wouldn't be getting our knuckles rapped by the teacher.

Perhaps if we hadn't of gotten on our high horses when the German Abassordor to Ireland dared speak up we too could have a few Euros in the bank:

Move over Hitler, and, I can't believe its not Hitler.

Best brush up on your German folks, they're set to conquer us all!

She didn't do Ireland any favours by opening her trap either. Can't stand her.

Not a discussion about Irish people goes by without chinasea sticking his oar in to flail at their heads. The man was a buffoon, and any idiot could see there are endemic problems with our public sector.

These same people you call "teacher" were shoving men, women and children into the ovens by the million within living memory, oh sorry lets not talk about the war, anyway they learned their lesson the hard way economically and made some good decisions. Hopefully our politicians will do likewise, although there's a strong case to be made that we were doing alright until that fool Lenihan gave the blanket guarantee.
