Oh, my…if only MEPs were just democratically dancing trains!!!

There IS more and quite often, it’s all about your career possibilities, especially within a political group.

And having said that, i think there’s even more to say about Bxl and pl Lux sex life…

More active participation? Are you inviting some of us to “dance the train” with you or something?

Great post, but I’ve a doubt. It’s not that we’re simply the geekest team of all the EP?

Some clues:

1) I’ve a friend who lives with her boyfriend. But in Strasbourg, they both sleep with their respective collegues instead of having a romm for them. To have “something different from routine”, they say.

2) In Les Aviatuers, as precedent comment suggests, I’ve seen MEPs dancing the train with assistants who dance the train with fonctionnaires who dance the train with the ushers…and so on and so on…Very democratic place, as a Parliament should be.

3) Not to talk about lovers. Would you bring yours in grey, rainy, bureaucratic Brussels, or in fancy, beautifulandfullofgreatshops Strasbourg?!?

Conclusion: we should stop talking about dogs and wallpaper, ans start excercing our communuciation and transparecy duties with more spirit of observation and more active participation! ;)

Excellent post!

When I used to go to Strasbourg I used to stay at this very cheap hotel and couples in the rooms around me were engaged in, erm, very passionate love-making (either that or an extended family of bears with a passion for DIY and bouncing on their beds had rented the adjacent rooms). This obviously made me lonely, tired and misanthropic the next day at work as I had started to believe the whole Parliament was getting it on except me.

I later found out that all the noise was ‘trucker-prostitute interaction’, not MEPs (or, juicier yet, colleagues from my own DG) so was very relieved to learn that I wasn’t the only person NOT getting any in Strasbourg… well – as far as I know, anyway…

Your sense of humor is excellent.
And though it’s all very nice, is sounds slightly too politically correct.
The absence of sex during STR might be your experience, but mine is quite opposite ;)and for many others too.
Go to Aviators and observe.

Unfortunately, for many, the fact the significant other has stayed in Bxl, means a lot of freedom for STR.

Ok, we’re officials, we have to be examples, blablabla…but we’re also human.

Ps. Condom dispensers at EP might be a good idea. Could someone do a petition?

@linotherhino Quoting from http://ow.ly/wb9K : "[...] eurojargon volapuk don’t rate high on the sexiness scale". Blatantly wrong.
