I guess Czech-Chilean relations have now hit an all-time low. Tongue

He's definitely a maniac. Not 100% on the prefix.

I've read somewhere that Sarko also stole pens. Could be something common to retarded populist reactionary failures.

This is a non-issue.

Actually, I do this all the time when I´m at work or at some kind of seminar listing to someone and taking notes with a pencil that was provided to me. I write down stuff and then I just take the pencil into the bags of my jeans and go to lunch.

Or every month at work I need at least 30 pencils because they alsways disappear somewhere, then I find them in my locker, in my car, at home, etc. ... Wink Tongue

Yeah.

It seems Sebastián Piñera is the Chilean twin of Christoph Waltz.

Piñera has a weird, almost childish immaturish voice.

In true Hispanophone style, Piñera's pronunciation is actually more like "Baklav".

Anyway, LOL at the video.

That the Spanish rule of pronouncing C. The inevitable consequence of trying to fit an alphabet for languages for which it was never meant to be used.

Huh

I've never heard a TV commentator refer to a Vaclav as anything other than "VAH-shlav."

Really? I had always heard it as "Vaklav" before I visited the Czech Republic, though to be fair it's not a name you hear a lot anyway. Though "VAH-shlav" is also an incorrect pronunciation.
