Burkina Faso staggering?

Last week, my friend Martin who lives in Ouagadougou sent me a nice email but ended with the words: "Greetings from a staggering Burkina"

Staggering Burkina? Did I miss something? I don't watch the news here on Ghanaian television, but I keep myself up to date on world news through the BBC and the Belgian VRT. Readers will have noticed that I am very much caught up in the unrest in the Middle-East, but how come I don't even know about trouble less than 200 kilometers north of Tamale?

I rechecked all the RSS-feeds I am following and there is nothing, nothing about Burkina Faso. So I had to ask Martin: What the hell is going on?

I know nothing!

Conversation between me and my friend R after we got stranded with some car trouble. I asked her if she knew anything about automobiles:

R:-Me? I know nothing!
me:-"I am from Barcelona."
R:-My team is Chelsea.

My friend is clearly not a fan of Fawlty Towers (1, 2).

From there on...
