Kamikaze

This might sound strange but I'm glad it's the Japanese dealing with the problems at the Fukushima nuclear power station and not the French, or English come to that. The thought of some Frenchman giving the Gallic shrug as he decides to stop saving the world and then tucking his bib in at 12.00 for his two hour lunch sends shivers down my back. I wonder if a French attempt to save the world would be hampered by the 35 hour week?
I couldn't believe it when I heard that the Japanese have got a kamikaze squad who are prepared to risk their lives and get in close to deal with things. How cool (or hot) is that? That's what you call above and beyond the call of duty.
Nipping it in the bud as it were (pun intended).
Added to that, if things go wrong, the boss is likely to have to top himself. Quite an incentive to get it right I'd have said.
I don't remember too many wankers bankers committing suicide after the recent banking fiasco and half the world is still paying for that.
