Not the same thing really, but I love any of those Balkan savoury pastry things like burek, spanakopita and so on. A recipe combining those fillings with the virtues of British piedom would make me very happy, at least (though the blasphemy of it all would probably enrage a few million Greeks and Serbs).

If only there was a way of finding out. Some kind of national survey available in 56 languages, say...

The Catholic states in Germany get more holidays than the non-Catholic ones. One of the few things Bavaria has over Hamburg. Bloody federalisation.

Easy choice right there.

Aye, I force my neighbours to have Dave-endorsed Eurovision street parties all the time. Prick.

Pardon?

Pen pushers can't stop you, but your own sense of shame should.

We're getting there. Doesn't change the fact that the Tories would have done exactly the same as Brown, but it's progress all the same.

I'm not generally a lager drinker, but I quite like that. Edit. Its not a 6% job or anything, but I do like it and I'm going to get some more. I don't particular like beers or lagers that taste "strong", but that is quite nice and it isn't "gassy" like some lagers. It may not be strong enough for some though, looking at what people have said they like. Aye, I've always found Czech/Czech-style lagers to be very "smooth" drinking - regardless of their percentage actually (some are very good at being dangerously strong yet seemingly mellow on the surface ) - so it makes sense you'd have liked that one as someone who's not a fan of bubbles up the nose.

I'm still in and will be until at least May 12th

Aye, but they played in the World Cup under that name, which is what the quiz wants (see also Yugoslavia, East Germany, the aforementioned Dutch East Indies etc.). Obviously it's a bit of a grey area since Serbia is the legal successor to S&M, 91 to 03-era "Yugoslavia" and so on, but then officially there was no such thing as West Germany either.

75 out of 81. Serbia and Montenegro is a trick one, and who's ever heard of "Dutch East Indies" anyone who says they got that is a liar. I got that. Whereas I was rubbish at that - 79 and missed some absolute sitters.

Freshly animated.

Just gone big on Hungary here, 4/1 is great value IMO: http://www.skybet.com/betting/music-specia.../e12851657.html

It took Tirana for me (even though it showed up as Tirane) - they're normally quite good with accepting alternative spellings. Strange.

It's Friday, it's Sporcle day.

I can lose entire nights of sleep to Wikipedia. Curiosity + internet = doom.

I'm a problem. Throw money at me and i'll fuck off Camwank or STFU

Did a beef and pak choi stir-fry earlier actually, after miraculously finding the latter at a local shop. In Lewisham. The fried chicken shops will be selling hummus next.

"Ten Storey Love Song" was the best melody they ever wrote, though. Well, the only melody they ever wrote.
