The Great Escape...
Few years ago – The German Club-Adelaide,Australia – 2007

Great place for beer, great German food, lederhosen and leg slapping but enough of the advert on with the story.

I was standing at the bar surrounded by old men all talking German (it was like something out the boys from Brazil) when all of a sudden my phone rings….and my chosen ring tune at the time…why an mp3 of the great escape theme tune. I tried to ignore it but it got louder and louder the back ground noise got quieter and quieter until you could have heard a “Stielhandgranate” drop!

I felt really awkward, they must of thought I was taking the piss but that was not the case just an unfortunate timing situation.

I did what any one else would have done in this difficult situation and answered in the style of the British Airmen from ‘Allo Allo…. OH Hello (no motorcycles available but it would of helped to hasten my exit)


BTW I am not anti German in any way as my wife is indeed half German and as a nation they make great cars and beer…but remember they started…they invaded Poland

hmmm
Just a question, does anyone know whether German people would know about "The Great Escape" apart from hearing it at football matches?

The Great Escape
Ahm, i don't know about it (at least not for sure), if that counts...
Was it the TV-Series 'bout the POW-Camp with the rather stupid Krauts?

Dunno...
