These hilarious sketches are uncannily true reflections of the Greater European State we now live in. From his base in Geneva, the author observes the follies of French estate agents, Swiss choirs, Italian driving instructors, UN `workers`, musical CVs, operatic subtitles and the great IT debate. He also has time to note the oxymoron implicit in `Swiss bag ladies` and the paradoxes in Shakespeare`s dialogue. In sum, these are quick-witted, light-hearted sideswipes at our so-called `culture` and our dependence on information technology. Heed the call and enjoy them all!
