OK Setanta, getting down to the nuts and bolts here. Getting our hands a bit grubby and our knees bronzed by the Equatorial sun, I think Henry should be pegged out in the desert sun and licked to death by stray dogs and camels, whilst naked women dance a highland fling round and round him.

Stasia is right, the conversation about an unnamed ex-member is officially off-limits, and the reasons were well stated by CDK, and I go with the reasons given, especially regarding said ex-member's right to privacy, and to not being tortured in a public forum.

This thread should return to it's original goal, making fun of Germans....okay, satirizing cultural stereotypes Rolling Eyes

I always found Asterix and Obelix to be high-larious . . . they poked fun at all of the other Europeans by using the stereotypes, and ridiculed the stereotypes in the process . . .

In Asterix chez les Helvetiens, there was one poor sod who was always trying to get his floor mopped, and Asterix and Obelix, naturally, kept tracking mud across the floor just as he would finish it . . . great comic relief, and a nice little dig at the Swiss obsession with cleanliness . . .

I like the Asterix stories as well, great fun. Almost contempory in an historic setting.

OAK, technically, the British brought us bastardized crappy curry, and chicken tikka masala....an invention of Indian cooks working in England, based on a perfectly adequate tandoori dish, but the Brits insisted on having sauce on it...and, lest we forget, the Germans brought us lager....
