tamthebam Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 When abroad I've been mistaken for a German. Fine by me. "Englisch? Wir haben mehr Weltpokal than those arschloche!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 In Barcelona once I was mistaken for an American. Guy was very disappointed when I corrected him. In America I was assumed to be Australian. No worries. To avoid being regarded as English on a European holiday, just avoid the following: Asking why there's no fackin' chips on the menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the spectacle of an obese, ruddy faced southerner having his kebab taken off him and being told to get out of "the best kebab in marmaris" for complaining that "that's not a facking kebaaaab!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 What's the split of opinion re Donner Kebabs? I personally think they are absolutely magnificent, and there is absolutely no requirement to be drunk in order to eat one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he tell you of the sexual encounter known as The Slovakian Traffic Cone? If not, you'll have to search Urban Dictionary for it as I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to post it on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kent. Never quite worked out why, but Germans typically have a hard-on for all things Scottish. Certainly just now, German seems to have overtaken English as the primary language of the NC500. Once saw a bunch of them arriving into Scotland with the whole family wearing Runrig t-shirts and it would seem that Runrig typically spend much of their touring time over in Germany. Why they'd rather play sell-out open air stadium concerts in Leipzig rather than the Gordon Arms in Huntly is anybody's guess.

Either in their natural state or as the star attraction in a munchy box. I've also had it on a pizza. But on that occasion, I do confess, I was veh, veh drunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
