It has been quite a bit of fun to see a country, attempt to be run, by what is basically a divorced couple. He wants the TV, she wants the music collection. I don't think this could happen anywhere else in the world. I think it would make a tremendous sitcom. I just want to see how long it can go on, and how they get on in the future, the couple that is, because the country and the people are secondary, with this pair. Will she run off with the party of regions, will he beat up her potential lover? keep tuned folks or buy a DVD, from the ex DVD rental chain queen herself.
