In its early days the freed-from-Communism Czechoslovakia [prior to its "velvet divorce" into the Czech Republic and Slovakia] was known as Absurdistan.. On one level, for those who appreciate Dada humour and surrealism, which have always been much in evidence, this seemed a valid description - even one which could engender national pride.. No one, I believe could fail to find this story amusing; HOWEVER for it to take place as an anti-climax to the most abysmal failure of EU caretaking that the Czechs have just allowed to take place is more like adding insult to injury. Was it funny? Yes - should I have posted it under humour - maybe. I'd rather describe it as 5 parts bitter and 1 part sweet. If you're NOT Czech - feel free to laugh AT us!

  Poor obscene guy can't even write the title correctly. It is not the US presidency but the EU presidency. Must have his head where it does not shine.

    Thanks poor obscene guy1 We had worked that out before your "contribution!".
    When you make an interesting positive comment somewhere please do give me a heads-up.
    I might even give you a vote.
    I guess I may have to be patient though.
