Personally don't care about anyone's background as long as your competent. Where does this end though.

No one in Russia wants a war. The devastation caused by the last one is still fresh in peoples minds or at least in the generation that runs things. But not wanting to fight is different to being unwilling to fight. And this would be a fight with no winners.

Treating someone differently doesn't create equality. It reinforces inequality. Where the modern left got this idea from I do not know. Even in the USSR discrimination still existed.

Rt is state funded so puts out exactly what the Kremlin tells them to. They do present the other side quite well. But it is only another version from a different angle. As a wise man once said the truth is all a matter a perspective.

Yes quite bizarre of her to say she would have ordered that. I know it went down quite well in certain circles.

Interesting how Cameron has confused the eu with nato.

If the UK votes to leave the Dutch and the Danish certainly and possibly the Swedish too would ask for their own referendums. If they all left it would collapse as its the rich northern countries who fund the project. The Mediterranean counties have been creaking for years and the eastern countries are still rebuilding after the communist period. These are the ones most desperate to keep it going as they benefit the most.

I honestly don't get it. Not to insult anyone or belittle anyone's beliefs. Everyone needs a code to guide them through life. But all the nasty petty things that seem to occur. Killing each other over old books that essentially say the same thing. Not socialising with people because they're the "wrong" code. Not being able to marry a person you love because their beliefs are slightly different to your families. I preferred being a godless communist. And yes that wasn't perfect either.

No protests have been reported at all. I've also been over in Germany recently and even some of them are starting to be a little fed up with things.

It is a wonderful city. I stayed not far from Friedrichstrasse.

Editor that was for you. Old saying practice prevents piss poor performance.

As it should be. Good girl.

Of course the trick is making others think their in charge and it was their idea to begin with.

It depends. Ideally if your doing the touristy type of things then a hotel in a central location is what you need. Unless your confortable with the S-bahn and U-bahn and go further out for cheaper hotels. You can find some good deals online for a central location especially if its the off season for tourists.

Well I know a few spots. The pricier areas are by the riverside and along Unter den Linden. But get a bit further in the prices come down.

Probably more acceptable to a Polish or Russian palette.

Maybe Pork Schnitzel with egg, bacon and fries is better for the English.

That was the Turkish immigrants.

Some spicy sausage with fried potatoes and sauerkraut followed by apfel strudel and a nice Riesling.

Its improved since the 80's. More varied fare. You have to try the local cuisine anyway. People that complain they can't find McDonalds annoy me.

You western men don't have the stamina anyway.

Seriously though consider a weekend break in Berlin. Plenty to see, good eating, lots of history.
