Most people agree with that :) It is an attempt at a mediation body which, unfortunately, backs down when it is most needed.
It must be the subject of many an Israeli joke :)

Exactly, Crow. The problem was that only 36% of UN members recognised it. The telling stats are that 22/27 EU states and 24/28 NATO members made the decision. We see where the balance of power lies.
Good to see that Poczta Polska took a stand :)

Have you any speeches of Tusk speaking about the Balkans, Crow? He is small fry, the bigger powers make the key decisions there. I am not Tusk's biggest fan but I need proof of him being in the Albanian pact like Kouchner and his ilk. To me, he doesn't fraternise with his kind. Tusk is a tough nut to crack as he really says very little.

Crow, I know there was a major clampdown years ago but I don't know how effective it was. What happened to Dindić, for example? Arkan and prominent Red Star fans were hardcore mafia folk. You even admitted it yourself, Crow, it's a subculture and not broadly representative of Serbian culture at all.
Tusk is a cure for insomnia. Doctors need to include him in their medical practice :)

Serbia is mafia dominated and their mafia killed one of their own PM's who represented hope. The Serbian police have a hard job containing them.
As for Tusk, he is a nothingman. What has been his crowning moment to date? I can think of none.

Sobieski, Farage was right to attack Von Rompuy. The guy is a joke!
As for Serbia, I doubt that you know 1/10th of the Yugoslav War so please refrain from labelling Serbia.
Milosevic was seen as a dictator and was even attacked by his own people and officers, Crow. That much is true!
Tusk is just insipid, not a dictator.

Hmm...there's a Serbian nuance in there that I'm not getting ;) ;)
I get tired of trotting out main lines and overly regular posts so I try and shake it up. Thanks for the compliment!

Define a dictator first. As seen in the common vision, Tusk doesn't fit the bill. vimeo.com/9015086.
However, he is in bed with powerful Eurocrats like Von Rompuy. He is more of a shoulder rubber. He can't seem to see past the nonsense that is climate change. Copenhagen was just blowing air (tragic irony/pun) and is an insult to our progress in humanity. Tusk is a yes man, not powerful enough to be a dictator.

Tusk, a dictator? Nah, not really. You usually hear more about the impact of dictators in the world. Oh, he could be a quiet dictator, how about that term? ;) ;)

I don't really look forward to buying certain sorts of bread here. There was a bread called Izumo bijin which was moister and tastier than a lot of the dry stuff here.
I think the problem is that most of Poland's bread is not freely available in many places. I see little variation and people shouldn't judge solely based on what's in the mainstream shops. Ask your Polish relatives or friends to make you some.

So, Lurpak is for choice. For bacon too?
Britain is streets ahead when it comes to pies. Even the mince pies you get at footie matches with Bovril are the stuff of legends!
I just like it when some knock Polish bread as they seem to treat it as out of this world. I've tasted bread as good back home and also in the Baltic States. It's just preference, not better or worse.

Some might, subaru.
You should try some of the whole loaves where you cut them by yourself. They tend to last a bit longer.

This may seem like a stupid question, WB, but I'll roll with it. What make of bacon did you use back in England? Scots tend to use Lurpak which is, as you know, Danish. I had to laugh when some Poles asked me if they had heard of the new butter here, Lurpak. LOL
Bacon butties :) :) Bangers and mash :) :)
Oh, a comment on Polish bread. I like the sesame crust ones.
