The recent independence vote by Montenegro has not only put paid to the late, unlamented Yugoslavia, it has also made Serbia share with Austria the dubious honour of being a former naval power without access to the sea (Those of a certain age may recall watching The Sound of Music and being confused by Captain Von Trapp's reputation as Austria's greatest submariner).
Perhaps now Serbian admirals can enjoy the same comparisons as their Swiss counterparts in a brothel and a Hoover.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
