German Chancellor Angela Dorothea Merkel is 60 today.
The Tagesspiegel newspaper gives over a full page, mainly of pictures but also positive text, to the Chancellor.
Too much? A German replied: "No, remember she is Germany's first woman Chancellor and she has been elected three times German Chancellor. And anyway, a 60th birthday is worth marking and celebrating".
When the German is told that an Irish paper would be most unlikely to so mark the 60th birthday of an Irish leader the reply is: "Look what England does on the Queen's birthday."
Angela Merkel likened to the Queen of England or a hankering after something else?
Probably not. The Germans are happy with their physicist Chancellor.
