A Reader Writes

Dear Aunty Agony,

I am trying to work out where I am on the scale in your Computer Dating Sex Quiz but unfortunately without result so far.

Can you help?
Yours

Breaking news: Germany pushes for EU army!

Thus the latest seriously bad idea to bob to the surface of our subcontinent-wide European Seriously Bad Ideas Lake.

It would mean allowing Krauts to take military responsibility for something bigger than their own army.

This is a seriously bad idea because the Jerries are notably rubbish at most things warry, in particular at:

i)     grand strategy;
ii)    strategy;
iii)   operations;
iv)   logistics;
