Kinda > proves my point actually ! Hm. Over *our* heads? That's interesting, because it seems you're the confused one. Dave was talking about Germany. You know, it's that country on mainland Europe, kind of south east of the UK and across the North Sea. The Chancellor, Gerhard Schroeder, you may have heard of him, opposed the war in Iraq. Does that ring a bell? Well, he just called an early election. Maybe you should watch the news. I hear the BBC is good. Do you get them over there?
