Reading various posts, Russia seems good at it, but often get caught out.
France, good, had many years of practice.
We've got Tony Blair ... world class, probably THE best. UK must be up there, with him leading.
Iran, Syria, US of course, ...

Nigeria. The very epitome of honesty.

Yes. The Swiss banking system is relied on everywhere as a source of openness and honesty.
Rob, you're right
had a nice e-mail the other day from a splendid chappie in Nigeria.
Told me I had inherited a lot of money and he only needed a small fee to advise further.
But I've got no Nigerian family connections so I presumed he'd got the wrong mememe ... I did think I would try and trick him into thinking I was the right mememe and sending him £5,000 but that would have been dishonest.
Sometimes I think I'm just an honest old fool.

From Bomber, Len Deighton's wonderful novel. August Bach, a German pilot, is returning to his base with his friend, Max, when they are held up by a convoy directed by Vichy police:
"A Frenchman," said Max angrily. "They are a logical race. They should make good traffic police."
"Huh," said Max. "Logical. They put a knife between your ribs and spend an hour explaining the rational necessity of doing it."
"That sounds like a lot of Germans I know."
"No, a German puts a knife into your ribs and weeps a sea of regretful tears."
"August smiled. "And after the Englishman has wielded the knife? He says, 'Knife? What knife?' "

The motorhead song "Bomber" was inspired by that book, which was pretty good (read it myself)..

In 1994 Kim Jong-Il shot a round of golf, 38 under par on a regulation 18-hole golf course.
Additionally, five of those shots were a hole-in-one and that was his first time playing the sport.
"Remarkable" as the late, great David Coleman would say.

lying sometimes has peverse actions if you believe blair to be the greatest liar that cant be true because that would make saddam a far greater liar in conning the world to believe that iraq was a walking nuclear bunker,all his lying only managed was to destroy his country
swiss bankers,fifa,blatter etc is enough to put switzerland bang in the frame surely,although they could argue the broken clock theory
