European Financial Crisis
caroulemapoule:
I have 17,91 € to my name. I have 6 slices of bread, half a wedge of brie, 1L of Evian, a small bottle of merlot, some jam and 3 eggs. Once my French bank account starts functioning in 2 or 3 days, I won’t be such a pauper. Boy am I going to have myself a nice restaurant meal and some fine wine when that time comes!

Успокой меня глазами, успокой меня душой И босыми встань ногами на сердечную мозоль Боль, доставь мне наслажденье, исцарапай спину мне Мне явись как исцеленье, светом будь в моем окне Светом будь в моем окне Обними меня глазами, обними меня душой. Как пред строгими богами, я перед тобой одной. Обними меня покрепче, да прижми к своей груди: Мне так будет много легче позабыть и перейти, Позабыть...

My boss knows all sorts of these lovely Chinese sayings, and...
