I'm sure that's the intention, but its an unworkable idea and never been and people are coming around to that. Look at the disparity in the economies of northern England compared to southern England, then compare that on a continental scale between the rich northern European countries and the poorer southern European countries. Totally unworkable to force one currency on such widely different economies.

Ah but you have to keep boiling a kettle, a samovar remains hot constantly, if you have a large enough one you can make several cups just for yourself over a few hours. Much more civilized.

The euro is unworkable and should collapse in the next decade. I think if Putin stopped messing around in Ukraine and actually tried to do things by other means rather than his usual 'i have to prove I'm the most masculine around' so constantly resorts to force tactics he might accomplish more. But then you could never tell him.
I think brics is regrouping and there's some kind of internal dissent with one faction wanting to go one way and another a different way.

Its for heating water so you can make tea. It uses slow burning full like charcoal. You can use pine cones as well.
Its nice to get a good pot, a small bottle of vodka, put on some music like Shostakovich, Prokofiev or Tchaikovsky.
Not a football person. Keep an eye on spartak for old times sake. Prefer tennis or cricket.

Fair enough. I enjoy a nice tea as well, not constantly on the vodka, its just sometimes nice to have a small bottle whilst putting on some music, reminds me of home. Have you ever used a samovar?

Libya was one of the few post colonial success stories in Africa because there was no outside interference from the west. Now look at the place.

Ken Clarke always seemed a bit of a political oddity. A pro Europe tory at a time when the majority of his party was and remains anti Europe. Of course another famous pro Europe tory was ted heath.

You have a devious mind, sure your not Russian?

We're just old cynics tovarisch.
No, hopefully he is the real deal. I just suggest caution. Seen too many false dawns before. Yeltsin, Blair, Obama. It will be interesting to see how things develop.
I do like some of his policies, not all but some.
