When friends say 'come round about 2.30'... Im there at 2.25. Same punctuality with work. Thats normal but it grates mrshora. Loads of Brits are like me. Its called being anal.
Trying ringing your folks after 8pm. They think it must be an emergency no?!
On swine flesh (as friends call it).....yes they are obsessed with it second only to beer!
"Innit. They even try and create unions when it would be easier not to.

That's a land grab, isn't it? Create a tame company union before an actual AFL-CIO union manages to organize? The whole point of VW locating in the south was to avoid labour unions (and to suck up tax breaks).
oh and i forgot....

not so great after a night on the tiles.
Well here's a counterpoint tale, another pal of mine was in the security business, acting as bodyguard for Pop stars on tour, in this instance 50 cent, doing a Euro tour, I forget when it was, but not that long ago, anyway they're in Munich and 50 cent wanted to go to a Gym, so my pal checks around finds a Gym explains it's for an American Rock/Rap star and they go 'sure, no problem.'So they all turn up wander into the Gym and everyone in the Gym's face falls, my pal is perplexed and talks to the owner, what's the problem? Keine Swartz!
He didn't know where to turn, but the guys go, 'don't worry about it dude' and they all left.
That's the difference between them and us, they are still very very racist, that wouldn't happen here.
Bullshit!

😀 😀 😀 I wonder how many get this reference? I had one in my flat in Stuttgart. Laying down some paper in advance definitely saved a lot of deft brush work....
Yup... Top tip, that.
and the women aren't as fat and are generally better looking, IMO.
people don't have as much style, mind. they don't necessarily carry themselves that well.
oh, and they don't do Easter Eggs either. instead they paint hard boiled eggs. a truely disappointing fact of life here.
Same as us up here in the dire part of the country that is the Highlands of Scotchland then.

We used to do this. ALOT as children/growing up. Its only over the last decade and a half that I've seen the monster push of chocolate. Lately its in the shops wall to wall months before Easter.
The power of retailers.
MSP - MemberBullshit!
Oh I'm sorry, you were there then?
Clearly something I missed you know about, shall I ring 50 cent and tell him it's fine he can come back to Munich now? (by the way Munich and say Hamburg or Cologne are very very different places)
Or are you saying if he turned up at a Gym over here someone would say the same thing?
Oh I'm sorry, you were there then?
Neither were you...

As a epilogue to the German football teams great adventure. They land in Berlin and are treated as heroes whilst on the sameday we retain the services of Roy Hodgson with 'do as you did against Italy'.
Why not give him a fat bonus too?
Was it Roy's fault? I'd suggest that England Football's problems have next to nothing to do with Roy.
We seem to have a succession of well paid football managers. None have been truly worldclass but all well paid.
Would the German mentality allow this? As noted in the final commentary- no real notable 'world stars' (i.e. Big superstars) in the German squad yet they all play as a team. Thats key- the manager getting the side to play team football as a unit.
Does the manager do that or the system that put them together and got them to that position? The German team was based around the German team that won the U21 world cup...
Similarly, Belgium seem to have overperformed and that's being attributed to the system, not the manager.
Besides, the England manager deserves a decent salary for all the crap thrown at him because people think like you do - eg he can actually make up for a crap team/system. 😉
Or make a 300k a week striker actually score A goal.

Or make a 300k a week striker actually score A goal.
what are you talking about? the goal of the game is possession isn't it, with the outcome decided entirely by the Stato statistics judges innit?
The gym story sounds like grade A BS to me.
And defo a sheet of Andrex on "The Joby Shelf" if you would like it to be swept away swiftly. I call it the cairn platform.
Oh and definitely never do gesticulations in the car (or if you really must, never make them visible). If 2 people report it (is the offended and one of his mates), you get an automatic visit from the Polizei.
Being better at grammar is probably something to do with being sticklers for rules? (Although some jobsworths must make up rules for themselves to have something to stick to, or use commonsense - certainly had that when I moved to Germany, bought a car, registered it, and then the day after registered at town hall - apparently a not allowed sequence, but he still let me register the car, so it can't have been a rule/law).
