Jingoism at its best

The European Business Club isn't one you hear too much about, but tonight they pulled out all the stops to organise one of the best Haas events we've been to!

The evening was a showcase of Old World food, wine, and racial stereotyping. Delicacies were on offer from all over Europe (including tea, crumpets, and beer from good old Britain) and we finished with a Euro-themed 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' quiz. My team lost, but Hannah's won so I even got a share of (real, French) Champagne.


It's true! The tax rate inside the event was much higher than outside.

Britain put in a manful effort...



...but the French table proved more popular. Can't think why.


Europe: still overpopulated.



The closest Vince may ever get to visiting.



Quiz time! Final answer: Belgium.



Three winners: Hannah, Heather, Renita.
