In a mirror, dimly

I heard the news that The Police had reformed to perform for the Grammy awards, and there was a rumour that they would tour. Thanks to a co-worker I have a link: they are playing St Louis on July 2^nd! I’m excited (to say the least) … having spoken to the venue in question already about tickets!
There’s a joke that says,

In European Heaven,

• the English are the police
• the Germans are the mechanics
• the French are the cooks
• the Italians are the lovers
• and the whole place is run by the Swiss

In European Hell,

• the English are the cooks
• the Germans are the police
• the Swiss are the lovers
• the French are the mechanics
• and the whole place is run by the Italians

Well, I’m soooo glad that the joke didnt say “the lovers are English” given a recent news article that said:

Britons ignorant about sex, survey reveals

It was one of a string of revelations in the survey carried out by the Family Planning Association (fpa) at the start of Contraceptive Awareness Week.
