Or on screwdriver (yes I'm cool because I ingest vodka,)
AND NOW BACK TO THE SHOW!
ABF. All I've been saying is that Spain and Austria are second class by world standards. They are. It's the way of things. Italy? Psf, don't make me laugh; Italy's just a tad better than Spain or Austria. Britain, France, Germany are the big three. Spain was big for a century, but declined not immediately after the Armada, but rather during the height of the Thirty Years' War. Austria may have conquered many small, divided people in many small states in the Balkan area, but they never successfully won a war against a (major) European state. Spain was cursed after 1648. I'm repeating what I've already said, because you just keep blaring history lessons at me without getting a clue: ALL I SAID WAS THAT SPAIN AND AUSTRIA AREN'T GREAT MILITARY POWERS/HAVEN'T BEEN FOR 350 YEARS. It's more an opinion than fact, but come on. You can't accept that, though, and you have to write out a huge report on how they used to be so grand. Ugh.
