This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

I remember the 16 different ways of saying "the" Germans have.
Der, die, das, die, den, die, das, die, des, der, des, der, dem, der, dem, den.
Each set of 4 applying to Neuter, Accusative, Genitive and Dative.
I struggled manfully with these to the Germans, when I finally met real ones, and they thought I was mental, they don't bother with any of it, just using a basic "duh".
Most useless shit I learnt in my life, and Monday's brekkies is a mystery.

I am half German and learned all that crap in school too. I have forgotten all of it, since i never ever used it. You learn a language by speaking it with others, not by constructing it with rules.

I think you got confused
and just started singing the Jaws theme at the end there.

Me too, but not to mention the indefinite articles
Which are similar to the above. Also, a list of prepositions:
Aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu, gegenuber.

Just reminded me of them too!
No sodding idea what they mean.
