		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a middle east of modern democratic countries right on the border of the largest trading block in the world. I am talking of the European Union. While the world obsesses over whether China will supplant America as the largest economy in the world they overlook the fact that the EU has an economy larger than both.

With the Arab world modernising the trade would take off and this would be great news for Arabs and Europeans. There was speculation in The Economist in 2009 of solar powered electricity generation in the Sahara with the electricity transported to Europe across the Mediterranean.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=3606&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the UK this morning I drove north on the M23 and, as the lanes merged into the A23, I indicated left but the other driver refused to let me in. My initial reaction was that the driver was an anally retentive moron but then I saw the driver was a woman. It is a fact that women do not let you in. I once knew a salesman who said that he never let cars pull out from side streets as it was a “a sign of weakness”. I don't believe that the reason that women do not let you in is driven by this same insecurity but by a preoccupation with following the rules. If you have right of way, why should give it up?

Men (excluding salesmen) appear more cooperative when they drive. At the meeting of Woodean Drive and Dyke Road Avenue in Brighton each morning cars take turns to join the main road. This admirable cooperation is interrupted only by women and, presumably, salesmen. Perhaps this is related to Enoch Powell's comment that women are not “clubable”.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2586&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However, I sometimes find myself wondering, if Americans appear potty to the British, why do we not hold similar opinions of other nationalities? It is possible that pottyness is merely the most prominent defining character for Americans and that other nationalities too have their defining characters but I think that  what is more likely is that the language we share with Americans enables us to gain an insight into their world view and that we are denied this insight with other nationalities. This reasoning is strengthened as I believe that Brits also consider Australians to be potty. Perhaps if we were fluent in Spanish or Chinese we would consider them potty too?

I guess that if an understanding of the language of a foreign country means that on is capable of appreciating their pottyness then, as English is the most common second language, it is the British who must appear the most potty and that is a stereotype that I am very happy to live with.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2570&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And that is exactly the point. Israel has deliberately contrived to insult the Palestinians just when talks are due to begin again. The Israelis used to accuse Yassa Arafat of never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity but we have seen time and again how, every time that the Israel is manoeuvred into starting to talks with the Palestinians, the Israelis begin by spitting in the faces of the Palestinians.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2194&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both China and the West have gained from the flow of trade but we should consider that, having now allowed so much industry to move to China, we have become reliant on an authoritarian regime which cares for nothing but perpetuating it's own existence. We should also keep this in mind when businessmen and political leaders talk of the necessity of allowing the free flow of trade to countries where there is “competitive advantage”. This competitive advantage is, very often, the absence of political rights,  civil rights and the rule of law.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=1818&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
