With the onset of difficult times, you have to give up long-standing pleasant habits Homemade lunch Some of the hardest hit are restaurateurs. Moreover, both expensive ones and representatives of the fast food family. The outflow of visitors from all kinds of eateries today has already amounted to 10%. Restaurants where the average bill was 750–1,500 rubles lost a fifth of their customers. It seems that the people who are most afraid of the crisis are the patrons of expensive restaurants.

That is, on the contrary, of course: it is a lifelong pleasure to have you as an interlocutor. I thank you for the fact that in all this time you have never become a tabloid. How did you manage? How do you make money? 25 – and no porn. I don't understand how you survive. Does that really happen? It probably happens. When you are still only 25.

“American lard” in cans, which we wrote about in the last issue - some time ago advertising banners with its image filled the Moscow subway - has another version of its origin.

According to one widespread legend, Leonid Brezhnev loved Estonian-made “Bell” lemonade. General secretaries have their own quirks. Since the mid-1970s, another drink appeared on the negotiating table for peace and disarmament, next to mineral water and transparent Bell, the color of which looked like overseas Coca-Cola.

Why doesn’t anyone ask ordinary Russians about freedom of choice?

The Central Bank promised that the bi-currency basket would not cost more than 41 rubles. And I think that the Central Bank will try to fulfill its promise - this is a matter of honor for it. In addition, the Bank of Russia is now taking some measures to achieve this. In the sense, it not only carries out foreign exchange interventions, but also tightens lending conditions for banks.

The action movie “St. John’s Wort” continues to be shown on NTV.

Why doesn’t anyone in Russia criticize the Dutch coach of the Russian national team, who took London’s Chelsea as a “part-time job” from last week until the end of May? If the Chelsea coach had decided to train the Russian national team in his free time from his main job, then in Foggy Albion the local press and fans would have “gobbled up” him, but in our country they reacted favorably to such a turn.

Last week, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov said: The State Duma is on the verge of dissolution, and it is possible that early parliamentary elections await us soon.

So: you interfere with stagnation.
