is the anniversary of the 2005 death of the first President of the European Central Bank, Wim Duisenberg. He was known as "Mr 15 minutes" reputedly because of his willingness to follow interest rate changes of the Germans.He was a chain smoker who died after suffering a heart attack in his swimming pool, which makes his (pictured) commemorative statue all the more interesting.
Sad as his death might have been, it was probably a better option than facing retirement with his revolting wife.
