Strange flowers, and YUCK!!
May. 26th, 2009 09:34 amYesterday morning one of our employees reported a bouquet of flowers wedged into the Embassy fence. It made the metal detectors beep.
So I ordered for the area to be cleared (and oh, the visa applicants were angry...), and we called the police.
They arrived in record time (under 10 minutes) and actually blew the bouquet up. It was a very small explosion, and it turned out that nothing had been hidden among the flowers. Still it was a nice Monday-morning adrenaline boost.
Re. yuck: Silvio Berlusconi is having an affair with an 18-year-old girl from Naples. The old bugger is 72, so that would be yucky enough in and of itself. But she calls him "Papi", which frankly makes me vomit. The Austrian news said today that this and his prolonged (and evidently well publicized) war with his wife are bringing his popularity ratings down.
That's OK with me, but I keep wondering why the ratings didn't plummet when he said the thing about the camping trip...
