Re: Non-technical question (4.00 / 3)

I recognise all but one whose face can be seen in full:

Bottom row, from left to right:

Sarko
José Sócrates, PM of Portugal (not too bold Socialist)
Lech Kaczyński, President of Poland (idiot hard-right nationalist)

Middle row, from left to right:

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, PM of Denmark (mad neoliberal)
Ferenc Gyurcsány, PM of Hungary (neoliberal in a Socialist Party)
Bertie Ahern, PM of Ireland (crooked right-wing)

Third row:
* on the right: Matti Vanhanen, PM of Finland (centre-right)

I have seen that bearded face behind Gyurcsány and Ahern, too, but can't remember who he is.

Re: Non-technical question (4.00 / 3)

here are the official family photos. I probably mis-identified the Finnish PM, that guy and the bearded one could be Commissioners.

Re: Non-technical question (4.00 / 3)

Yep, the man with glasses must be Olli Rehn, Commissioner for Enlargement (also from Finland). But the bearded man is Luís Amado, foreign minister of Portugal. Here is another gallery at the Portuguese EU Presidency site with captions for the photos.

Re: Non-technical question (4.00 / 7)

Commissioner for Enlargement? Is he the one that keeps sending all that email spam about miraculous penis growth products?

Re: Non-technical question (4.00 / 4)

at the height of enlargement emails, I took one email account, and added up the increase that I'd been guaranteed. if I had responded to them and the guarantees had been correct, by the end of the year my penis would have been 53 feet and seven inches long and eight and a half feet round. I was going to turn it into a website, but was advised that Hormels would take rather a dim vue of the name I had chosen for it. it was going to be called spamcock. somewhere I have all the artwork and everything.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

France is indeed in trouble... (4.00 / 2)

As I tried to learn new faces and evaluate the general appearance of Zapatero, I found Csarko had the most pictures with the index finger pointing as he speaks, while even Brown uses a full open hand.

What do Csarko's three closed fingers hide?
