    Got a huge big ****-off England flag out the front which keeps the neighbours away but to balance it out I do have a hand-sized German one next to it and just to confuse everyone, a big one from Togo as well. I was going to pop into the English shop in Köln on the way home and pick up some car ones for a laugh to put up in the office (I'm the only Brit in a office complex of around 1000 Germans) and to put on my car when driving back to my hotel but decided not to as I'll only get to use them them for a couple of days max.

    Was a Bosch as it happens. Bought it in 1992 so it has done sterling service.
    Replaced bearings on one occassion and that's all I had to do.

    Got an Ariston now. Super quiet.

    I like to go out at night in rough areas and put different flags on peoples cars. I have found that, somehow, changing a cars St George for a Bundesdienstflagge causes that car the most damage. Experimenting, and I know it's not too scientific, but putting a Spanish flag on one car, a German one on another, and a French flag on another, sees not much damage to the Spanish flagged car, but lots to the others.

    So watch out you flag types, for it's chavvy, and my flag stock is high

    I don't put up the house flag until day of the match as Mrs BP things it is very chav.

    Personally I detest football - but I feel the need to support England. Until I move to Asia.
