Dinner ready, laptop in range, little German flag on TV, Deutschland t-shirt on...
BTW- I'll be watching Germany-Ecuador with compatriots at the Goethe Institut- sing the songs & all that!
<<dude nips round town like a nippy thing>>
Folks, my Opa had a bright orange Ford Capri in the 70's
Buney- my people (Mum etc) are from Hamburg or Baden Baden.
This World Cup will be a good advertisement for Germany.
Attractive cities with impressive architecture, vibrant and fun atmosphere, welcoming locals, good weather.
good for tourist board!
I know! Plus with the economy starting on an upswing, even better!
<very occasionally I get homesick, until I think of the bookshops in London I'd be deprived of!!>
Unc Hans was a POW here and his family ended up stuck behind the wall
We didn't have any relatives across the wall, but I know of a lady whose niece was a teacher there and she wasn't allowed to write to her aunt in case she was corrupted by Western thought and passed it on to her pupils. Also, people in some areas of E GErmany couldn't access W German TV, so it was a cultural shocker when reunification occured, etc.
It's like a war out there.
:O
should be wunderbar Moo !
they were defintiely not in the best place -Unc and Aunt did manage to visit a few times and since the wall came down nephews have visited although it still sounds as if they struggle economically despite unification
Germania need to score btw - just to settle
C'mon Poland!
<brief weep & wail, eyes back on telly then>
C'mon, everyone sing along!
"O wie ist das schön, o wie ist das schön, sowas hat man lange nicht gesehen, so schön, so schön!"

I practise every day
I can play along to How Blue Can You Get by BB King, and one or two other blues riffs.
"I've been downhearted babeee..
Ever since the day we met...
Our love is nothing but the blueesss
Tell me how vlue can you get..
I bought you a ford...
You said I wanna Cadillac..
Bought you a 10 dollar dinner
You said thanks for the snack
I let you live in my penthouse,
you said it was just a shack
and I gaveee you seven children
