      I know it's confusing but he was trying to be funny. Germans do have a sense of humour - I have photographic evidence.

        True, but they only have schadenfreude:

        "Hans, didst you see zat? Das bad fraulein dropped ein bananana skin auf der floor."

        "Ja, Gretel. Es it appalingungen."

        "Hans, das fraulein ist coming back. Und look..."

        "Ja, Hans. Das fraulein hast slipped on der banananana skin und slipped under das tram und has been chopped into zwei bitz!"

        "Ja, Gretel. es ist zehr funny."

          I thought it was excellent, missed the first half of the programme though

            The documentary was quite boring, but the Kraftwerk concert was just about the weirdest thing I've ever seen, here's an excerpt if you missed it :

              This guy is good, skip the first 30 seconds.
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  The problem I had with that documentary was that they played very little good music on it, although "Krautrock" has some genuinely brilliant stuff. A lot of it is on Spotify, including the new Kraftwerk remasters. I like a bit of Holger Czukay myself. Try Dawn Across The Street (I don't know who Dawn is, but I guess that's where she lives). I notice that Neu! have disabled Hallogallo on Spotify though, which I had in a playlist before. Brilliant track.

                    Just realised that I must have walked past Kling Klang Studios loads of times here in Düsseldorf, but didn't know it was there. Might make a quick pilgrimage there later, like a sad fanboy.

                      Udo Lindenburg is crap IMHO! More German humour

                      and some guys I like

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
