Banshees Scream 107 Posted January 16, 2012 European politicians\executives who aren't that famous are so boring to me that you couldn't comprehend my vision of them being so dull. They remind me of a state in the US called Conneticut where in my mind it's always raining and they don't have a baseball team to root for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was practically her job to be boring... I know a few cases of non-boring civil servants. They rarely did the Right Thing, so let's stick to the boring ones. Now that I think of it, I rather have boring politicians too. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
