Let's weigh this one up :
Good beer, cars & sausages.

Shit hair cuts. Gay moustaches. David Hasselhoff top of the "hit parade". Women with hairy arms/legs/arses.

I think the beer swings it for me....

They also have fantastic senses of humour,
and my mum was born there.

My wife was born there
but on a British Army base.

My mum's dad was a meteorologist who spoke fluent German,
so he sometimes worked in that sort of area. Two of her sisters were born in Vienna. None of them speak any German, though.

Pffft!
Most Germans that I've met have been lovely people - and they do make excellent cars and beer - but seriously, they have an awful sense of humour.

I think they're amusing...
they have a superb sense of irony and satire.

Hitler was the greatest
stand up comic ever.

I had a German girlfriend
who had zero humour, understood no irony or satire, was controlling as shit, was really cold and unemotional and crap in bed, and she spent all my money.
Apart from that she was quite nice. (Great figure she walked around the house and garden naked all day)

Against:
Oompa music

For: no speed limits on the Autobahn.

No speed limits
on a two lane road I dont see as a good thing.

Frightens the fucking life out of me.

For: You get to sound brilliant when you're angry (like the Japanese as well)

Against: increadibly bad musical taste
( Fenris temporary Lazarus, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 10:57, archived)

Good helicopter music, though.

(Small Beer, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 10:58, archived)

The hair (Facial and cranial)
is worse than the music.

And the clothes arent much cop either.

Anyone here actually been to Germany ?

Nope.
But I have eaten a frankfurter.

I've had a weekend in Berlin
was fupping fab. Nice city for a break, but it pissed with rain the whole time.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Mon 11 Jul 2005, 11:04, archived)

A few times
Dusseldorf is a great city.

Frankfurt is seedy.

Munich is nice (if you can avoid getting shagged by burly, lederhosen-wearing neo-Nazis).

Monchengladbach is almost as stupid as it's name suggests.

I was actually
interviewed for German TV when I was in Berlin.

There was a spate of neo-nazi skinheads beating up tourists when we went out there and they were asking me if I felt scared. I said not really and they asked me to say I was so they could get better footage.

So I went on German TV giving the impression that English people were more cowardly and gay than the French.
