Vive la Union!

The EU takes on its ten new members on 1 May. I didn't get to Berlin when the Wall came down (I was twelve at the time, and besides it was in the middle of term); it would be kind of nice to be in Wenceslas Square when one of the more obvious and hopeful side-effects of the Wall's fall finally resolves itself after fourteen and a half years. At least, I hope the place will be full of celebrating Czechs.

And, though it's a bank holiday, Easyjet haven't put their fares up too far yet.

So, Prague or Ploktacon? Or would Poland or 'Pest be a better place for the celebrations? I've googled a little for celebrations, but no success — they may be targetted towards Hungarians and therefore in Magyar.

Still the second-largest land-owner in Scotland, according to

though I don't know if EU subsidies tend to go to the land-owner or to the farmer, so I may have been being unfair on the man.
