  1. The daily mail may be found to be lacking in their analysis from time to time. The fundamental issue is not that off tax evasion (while that is a subject of significant concern) but that of poor fiscal responsibility and excessive demand-side policies leading to a "feel-good" governance merely delaying the inevitable fall. The excessive bureaucracy and extensive corruption among these governments only serves to exacerbate an already precarious situation. I like to point out that Italy has not seen a particularly function goverment since the first triumvirate between 59 and 53 Bc.

  2. Actually writing an an essay on the euro crisis at the moment. My recommendation is more or less to dragoon the less effective governments in the EU, and the dump Sarkozy on an island somewhere (anyone know of any ships going to Saint Helena?)

    The fiscal irresponsibility and almost pathologically endemic reluctance to follow the rules of the EU and good governance in general is the most severe plight of the European Union. For all it's benefits, it would have been better to exclude some member-states due to their egregious incompetence.

  3. While I mainly drink scotch, I do enjoy the occasional bourbon or rye. Usually I drink from a tulip glencairn glass with a small splash of water, but for bourbon mainly neat. The only things allowed to mix. With whisky is red vermouth ans angostura bitters, or alternatively sodawater, bitters and a teeny bit of sugar; that is

    however reserved for the cheap stuff when socialising.

  4. Not to be a naysayer but ED needs to stick to modern air combat and improve on what they already have, not convoluted the DCS environment with WW2 planes. Why don't they focus on making new jets like the f-18 or Harrier II?

    They are. According to the road map, they are working (in paralell) on a updated version of A10C that will have combined ops content, Flaming Cliffs 3 (which will be compatible with A10 and Black Shark 2). The P51 is a collaboration with the Fighter Collection people. Also they have the yet unannounced fixed wing aircraft for the next DCS game.

  5. I watched the Red Baron about a year ago, posted a review of it somewhere on the forum. The short of it is, pretty decent flight scenes, albeit a bit too fast paced. Strange German accents in the english version, and a bit of an awkward romance plot. Might be worth a view though, but don't expect Citizen Kane.
