I just got a "Smacked bottom" off a mod for being "disruptive and child like" or in plain English, disagreeing with another member of CIU. So I couldn't log in for 7 days.
I'm British, living in mid northern Germany. Lovely place. Standard of living is great, and when you live work and play with "Ze Gurmuns", you tend to see some things the same way as they do. Not the war or football, but everything else.
They
do actually have a sense of humour, but it's basic Laurel & Hardy stuff, at best, Tommy Cooper. So living here needs to be gotten used to.
Since I've been on CIU, about 2 years, not surprisingly, being a window cleaner, as I posted on that section, most of the other
window lickers window cleaners thought that I was German. They seemed to think that all foreigners could spell English as well if not better than the average Brit. Funny how short sighted and untraveled we Brits can be don't you think? I'm used to some people assuming that because someone lives abroad, they must be foreign. These sort of people are usually the same ones who's only experience of world travel is Benidorm or some place similar, where all you have to do to get understood is talk loudly to the waiter!!
Just wanted it known that being a Brit, I liked Fawlty Towers too. I've found that the Brit humour has moved on quite a lot though, just not for some of the members on here.
Also, that 3rd goal in 66
didn't cross the line. So England won 3.2 really.
