Aye, I’m only mucking about. My family were decimated in the first war, but got off fairly lightly in the second.
We see a lot of German students down in my part of Kent, they are probably the best behaved and most respectful foreign students that come here (if I’m permitted to generalise). 🙂
I was reading Max Hastings history of Bomber Command last week sat in the square in the shadow of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. I do like the fact that the kindle means no one knows what you are reading.
Yoss funnily enough I didnt feel scared. I felt the atmosphere and fun. Alot of grinning.
I went to a wedding in Germany once where someone came onto the mic and said ‘now listen, everyone outside NOW for the releasing of the love balloons’. The English guests laughed.. 😆
Many decades of British observational comedy came from somewhere!
Predictable pattern so far. The defensive strategy, while understandable, means that when/if the ball gets cleared there is only Rooney or Valencia and they are surrounded by BM players.
Missed first 7 mins. Has Robben dived yet? He has cut back inside twice, so bingo card is starting to fill.
Bayern, like Barca under Pep, are so soporific to watch. I get they are the best in the world, but as a spectacle….meh.
I’m switching over to watch Athletico before I fall asleep, and am rudely awoken by the sound of Bayern players a), hitting the deck or b), crowding the ref.
Many years ago witnessed 2 lads chatting up some girls in a pub. One of the lads was trying to make his mate seem more appealing by claiming he was German…
A mate of mine was chatting up a Welsh girl at a beach party on Anglesey a few years ago.
He insisted he could speak Welsh, she agreed to accompany him to the dunes if he could prove it.
Drink may have been taken.
After much prompting and with a large audience the time came for him to demonstrate his linguistic skills.
He chose the phrase “Rhyll Sun Centre, isn’t it?”
A no rosette situation for my mate, but very entertaining for the audience.
