first ever german lesson
on the first ever afternoon of senior school. i was 11 and, like the rest of my class, didn't get why this was a shocking thing coming from a fellow 11 year old. i had no idea what one was, or why it was such a bad thing to say:



frau german, with a roguish twinkle in her eyes: "ach, and how do you know i am not a real german?"

liz: "because you're not wearing a swastika".

first day at school, first detention for liz...

yes, i now think
it was very rude but also fairly witty, for an 11 year old.

but at the time, i simply did not get why the teacher flipped her lid!

Ha!
Thats great! And the teacher should've been impressed that you knew your history. I mean, the most famous German ever to have lived IS NOT Michael Schumakker, its Adolf Hitler....

Is he???
Oh, yes... He is...

Well, he sort of transferred to Germany. On a free. Nifty on the wing and deadly in the box... What the fuck am I talking about???

Yep
Hitler was Austrian. He transferred to Germany via Liverpool...

He spent two years staying with his half-brother and sister in law in Merseyside. It's also where he was convinced to trim his moustache into a little square.

Impressed Rswipe knew her history? It was coming from a fellow student called Liz...

You might need a lie down ol' mate.
