For The People

Bulgaria is already in an endless spiral of elections, this will probably continue for a few more years and more and more often we hear the words... "The People". A badly coiffed auntie from the screen explains to us how ... »

Lawns or something else...

This joke is quite old, but it's time to remember it - how a government official did not follow the law because he was "lawn mowers" and not for him... Old and not even funny! But it really is time ... »

About the frog and the pond...
