    Clearly it didn't need to be any good to get you to respond to the perceived insult.

In for a penny, in for a euro and all that, and I feasted on the copious amounts of flesh on view, some more copious than others, but I find the germans to normally look after themselves. Struggled through with a semi most of the day.



    Lot's of these too (I believe), but if you're not looking at them, you don't see them.

    I love Germany and the Germans, to be honest. We're off there this summer for a break, and I can't wait. I'd go back working there in a flash.

    Don't go there, I work there! Actually Münster is a lovely town with a very nice beer (Pinkus), zoo, lots of churches, a ******* hell of a lot of cyclists, humongeous amounts of young female students, great cafes, good food, boating followed by a glass of wine on the Aasee in summer is absolutely enjoyable...

    Ideally, but I was just warning Suity what is more likely if he hasn't encountered it already
