What about "The EU forbids direct state aid" was waffley bollocks? Why didn't the UK have Berlaymont nuke Germany's practice from orbit?
Or are we at a cultural impasse, here, I know that at least Americans often don't understand the practice of what we call, over here, when speaking English, taking the piss.
You think a yank would write "waffley bollocks"? You truly are lost.
It is impossible for that to have been sarcasm, of course, as I am German and therefore do not partake in such frivolities. It all makes perfect sense now. Toodeloo.
