I'm German, I'm speaking from experience.

Fair point... Take the Yanks 1st, yeah, they won Independence off us, but we weren't trying. Plus the US Army have gone down hill since then.

And with the yanks on our side, we need only like the French and maybe Russians, then you're going down Germany!

True.

As well as "ruthless efficiency" classes.

If we ever do WW2 again, the Americans needn't send all those guys.

We'll just ask em to send in John McClane.

And Chuck Norris, just for good measure... Although McClane could obviously do it single handedly... And would do it in time for Christmas.

Yes that was pretty good.
Its spotted dick though. The pudding.

Not a "spot of dick" which is something that the wife might like.

And you squeezed in a Clockwork Orange reference too.

I think he may have just taken it from Austin Powers 3. Bit with Austin and his father talking cockney.

I don´t think you realize that John McClane (Bruce Willis) was born in Germany, Idar-Oberstein to be exact. So he might be a one man sleeper cell waiting to take the US.

And think twice about coming back to Germany, its not that Rosy here at the moment either.

I forgot about that.

Well, yeah, but the circumstances are still better for me there than they are here atm.

Missing the Beer then are you🙂

Germany has the best Beer in the world, so they can rule as much of it as they like if they spread this wonderful water of life about.🙂

Everyone should learn Latin via IPA and just be done with it.

I don't really like German beers, none of the ones I've tried anyway, then again, I've only had a few Weißbiere, just don't like the taste of wheat beers... Also had the import lagers also, the ones that are readily available in the UK (which I assume are not drunk in Germany). I like real ale much more, it's nice and bitter.

Wow. You're right I didnt know that...!

So can we regard Die Hard now as a "fought-off-shore-civil-war"...?

I don't like many Southern US accents...for example John Edwards' (candidate for the Democratic Nomination in this years election) annoys me.

The only American accent that annoys me is the Hawaiian. Have you ever been there? It honestly doesn't even sound like English.

I was stationed there for over a year and I still to this day remember one of the very first interactions I had with a local. A waiter told me "Our grinds plenty cherry da-kine, brah!". I later learned that in Hawaiian English he said "Our food is very good, friend."

I don't think you had to point out who John Edwards is, we know.

You of course do, someone that has no interest in US politics though...not really. He's not really a European Superstar, if you know what I mean.

No, and I knew someone would bring him up. Dog's a Coloradan who tries too hard to fake a Hawaiian accent for the sake of his fan following.

Have you seen 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler? Rob Schneider does a really good job of nailing it.

"We" meant people on this forum. Most Europeans here are in-the-know when it comes to American politics and aren't farmers in rural Moldova.

I like how Cartman talks when he tries too hard to fake Dog's accent when he tries too hard to fake a Hawaiian accent for the sake of being a ****ing weirdo.

Fair enough, I could have left it out, I suppose.

Are you drunk or just normally that big of a dumbass?

lil bitchiness -

I was taught British English, initally. That later somehow turned into American English, which eventually came back to British English since I ended up being educated here.
