Выборы

[свободный радикал]

sorry, lads. откликаясь на вашу просьбу, я тут попробовал начать отвечать и вскоре понял, что для того, что бы ответить развёрнуто и аргументировано, мне понадобится просто невероятное количество человеко-часов. так что, не обессудьте. как-нибудь потом, после успешной эвакуации и передислокации, под настроение, долгим зимним вечером в своём уютном домике с видом на Двину, под порт и потрескивание поленьев в камине.

Очень жаль, тема интересная. Ну что ж, будет желание и время, пишите.

А чего вы так на Шин Фин с безнадегой?

Мне лично они не нравятся тем, что активно поддерживают гопников. То есть, пардон, socially deprived areas.

И что, это местная Государственная программа такая? Построить 2 ветки метро в Дублине и починить M50?! Смехоподобно. А мэр на что?

[YellowMan]

Дублин - и есть почти все государство.
