The EU at work
We've heard of the EU Stalinist necessity for bananas of a fixed size and shape. And some remember the wine lake and the sugar mountain. But are the EU really getting bizarre nowadays ? 75,000 passengers are caught up in the Eurostar backlog
"Imagine you're Eurostar's fat controller in charge of despatching trains. Two have gone into the tunnel and not come out. Do you send in trains number three, four, and five?
Not unless you're a blithering idiot or you simply don't know they're stuck in the tunnel. Let's give Eurostar HR department the benefit of the doubt and assume it doesn't employ blithering idiots. Why then did train number three get a green signal to enter the tunnel?
Next, with three trains stuck in the tunnel, why did train number four get a green light? And if it is beggaring belief that train number four got a green light for tunnel entry, how in the name of the all-seeing being did train number five get one?"
IMO: Perhaps the new particle accelerator is actually doing something and they are sending the trains into the 5th dimension on a secret test run. I recall a film on TV where the trains disappear into a mountain and come out in the future. Truth is stranger than fiction and we know that Caltech physicists propose quantum entanglement for systems of over 10 million atoms. Has the EU secretly solved quantum entanglement problems or are they just 'plain igernut' (or 'palin ignorant' as they say in USA). No prizes for the right guess.
