UK wins again!

Post by jtbo » 20 Jan 2011 12:19 pm

Well, technically that is 2nd place, but I believe we don't have members from Uruguay so we can congrulate our British memebers?

Prices have gone up bit too much lately, all our border neighbourgs have cheaper petrol, especially Russia, but even so it is bit long trip to buy stuff at other country, for UK members even more of problems as they are surrounded by the sea and trip to France is of course so expensive that it is not worth to get stuff from there.

Your price levels are hower rather stunning, how price can get so much higher than for rest of europe is bit odd, imo. All I know that UK and Finland have most expensive petrol in whole Europe.

On that site, left side of page there is some other statistics which you may wan't to examine before settling up with your choice of Turkmenistan :lol:

When I checked our country tops with number of nurses and is very high on suicide rate, conclusion therefore is that too many nurses causes suicides :mrgreen:

Thats ok, im luring most into the pornaographic film industry so you should see a decline in suicides by this time next year.

Turkmenistan sounds pretty cool. I bet theyve got waterslides and hamburgers and AK47s. Or cheap variants.

When me and Nick drove through Iran I remember the bottle of Coke I picked up costing more than the tank of fuel.

And I managed to spill half of it as the thing didn't have a magic auto cut off like every other fuel pump I'd used :lol: :lol:

We have few hostage situations every now and then, but don't know if those are related. People here is under so heavy surveillance, that is very rapidly increasing, that there is just no point of kidnapping anyone, besides people are mostly poor or pretend to be poor.

It is not long ago than we had perhaps our first big world kidnapping scheme, where were rich not so old female, lawyer, bags full of cash and blackmailing involved.

We had many many years ago even carsuicidebomberkidnapper too, blew himself and hostages in a city, well there has been only on of those in our young country's history and it was long before Iraq or Afganistan operations.

Here people tends to end their lives instead of commiting big crimes, even serial killers are caught before they can do serial killing, that much we are under surveillance by officials.

They would probably not allow films where VND is a star in here :mrgreen:
