THE TIN CAN HABIT

The powers that are in Brussels have a habit of NOT making decisions (I wonder whether they would know how, anyway). This habit, in English (as you may have read or heard) is referred to as “kicking the can down the road”, meaning by that delaying a decision and procrastinating one can put off the ‘evil’ act of decision-making.

So much kicking has been carried on in Brussels and Europe in the last 18 months, I wondered where this poor old can might now be residing. Well, after painstaking research, I can now reveal where it has finally come to rest. However, I guessed that you would not simply take my word for it, but would welcome photographic evidence – which I can now supply:

Actually, it's the European Space Agency design for a robot they wish to land on the moon – how they can justify spending billions on this when the continent is in financial melt-down, I do not understand; I think this is pure vanity – one of the worst of all sins!

Until next time (and staying firmly on Earth),
