Germans
|
|
I picked a couple of them up last week, a corporate job, and took them to Old Trafford. One of them was an ex pro, in his early 30's and really knew his stuff,so, when he asked me if I was Red or Blue,he was quiet surprised when i told him I'm West Ham. He asked me why? and I started into the one about us winning the world cup in '66, He went ballistic,'' It was the fucking linesman & the referee''
I never realized they were so pissed off with that defeat, made my week end.

"Whinge"
Programme was Match of the Day mid 2002 during the World Cup. If the linesman had done his job properly we'd have had no Hurst hat trick. no "They think it's all over" and worst of all nothing to upset the Germans over.

Changed my opinion on Germans a few years back. BC Jumiors started playing with a couple of German Kids met the Parents spoke fluent English ( How many of us speak fluent German ? ) and really nice couple.
It did help with her 36/38 bust size sunbathing topless though.!

The linesman story...............
Everyone knows the story of Hurst's 2nd goal that the Germans are still wound up about. I seem to remember a few years ago a programme fronted by Gary Lineker showing that the Germans' 2nd goal was blatantly offside, with the same "Russian" (really Azerbaijani) linesman hesitant about raising his flag. It would have been a 2-1 England victory in normal time if he had done his job. As Lineker hinted, the linesman probably realised his mistake and later gave England the benefit of the doubt for the 3rd goal.
If the above is correct it's all you need to have ready for our German friends when they whings.

What I find really interesting about post-war Jerry is that, at the level of national politics at least, they have identified and successfully eradicated the kind of stark "it's-us-against-them" constructs that are at the root of all complexes, extremisms and other dangerous cultural viruses.
What the ancient Buddhists identified as the "dualistic ego" has also been largely kept at bay by the Nips, allowing for the long-term, thorough and whole-hearted implementation of policy based on standards anchored in universal values. The benefits have been felt by both societies allowing us to say that they have indeed really won the peace.

Good work NHD, if the Germans would care to pay Greece for the enormous cost of being invaded and used as a supply source for their armies and local economy, not all at once say, but over the same time frame that they occupied the country, then Greece would be in better shape and Retsina would drip from every fountain.

I find them in general arrogant, aloof and lacking in social nicieties such as being unable to grasp the simple concept of queuing. Still at least they are fiscally competent eh?.

It all goes to show how time and history move on, and how humans quickly become comfortable dealing with those capable of such matters. As if there is a collective will to move on and past the unspeakable, because we wish not to hear it. circumstance and economics make it expedient to forget.
It goes to illustrate how only the now matters in the futures we build, the past is like a painting that cannot speak and be only seen, nor give voice to the strokes that shaped it.

The Germans were amongst the last to adopt the credit card in europe. Debit card yes but credit card no. Two generations of paying with cash has put them in good stead to weather the present economic storms.
Germans are good people as long as they don't have an Austrian in charge.

Most knew. Those who did not were deaf, dumb, blind or idiotic, or scared to dumbness.
That is my point sir, the greatest unnoticed events in history. Apparently. Do not dare ask who knew what sir, the question is as thick in the air as an ingot of steel to every living german.
the unsaid, half remembered, the mass innocence, acquiescence, selective memories and history ushered under the carpet of convenience.
i could smell it in every living thing and upon every aged wall.
