I think he hates us Brits though all the same .

Hi

You obviously have never met the man.

He is cold, calculating and arrogant, most definitely out to do us damage.

The object of the exercise is to get out with the best possible deal.

He needs to preferably go, if not, be sidelined.

Re: There you go - Federal State

It's well worth taking time to have a look at the video, it shows some of what goes on in the EU parliament.

Hi

I was a man in a suit.

My Ex of almost 25 years and the mother of my children, was a very ambitious person.

I was totally enamoured by her, so went along with it.

She loved mixing with the famous, and showing off to her friends. I didn't

Not my choice, but when you are in love, you do things.

I was much happier staying in the background and using my technical skills.

I have met Juncker and others as part of my job at the time.

He showed his true colours at a boozy lunch at Comme Chez Soi in Brussels.

Re: There you go - Federal State

Some of the best Pollies have been boozers ....


" At some major international reception, late George Brown, Foreign Secretary to Harold Wilson, staggered up to a figure in a marvellous purple gown, and asked for a dance.
The reply was reputedly,
"There are three reasons why I will not dance with you. One, you are very drunk. Two, they are playing my national anthem. And three, I am the Cardinal Archbishop of Lima."

Yes when I had my audience with the Pope last year, he leaned close to me and said 'Do you know someone called Swimfeeders' I just smiled and said 'No'

Hi

Hardly surprising, malcom.

I have never met either you or the Pope.

Re: There you go - Federal State

Thank you for that swimfeeders - on that basis I have had Lunch with the Prime Minister of Belgium. Those sort of days were nice for us but they are gone forever.

Could you give a link on Junker's boozing as it is relevant to us now?
