Well, it seems that as soon as the FM moves away from the good ol’ UK, they let all the loonies out to protest in the streets.
It is certainly refreshing that our Muslim friends in Iraq now have this right as well. Hell, I will even go so far as to say, that as fk’d up as the press is reporting Iraq to be, it is probably (as we speak) the most liberal country in the Middle East now. All that was formally “verboten” (porn, alcohol, sodomy, protesting government etc) is now out in open and able to be experienced.
Of course your Islamic brothers may mash your head in for doing it but hey, welcome to democracy!
Anyway, I have now set up office on the banks of the Main River (pronounced ‚ÄövÑv mine‚ÄövÑvp for you philistines out there) and am pleasantly settling in to the Germanic way of life.
One interesting note, contrary to stereotyping of the German people, they actually love to party. They will use any excuse imaginable to throw up a tent and start drinking and eating. Good fun.
Also, now I have figured out why records have a ‚ÄövÑv B‚ÄövÑvp side. The Germans love that stuff. Take any hit record flip it over and play it for the Germans, they‚ÄövÑv¥ll love it and will probably know all the words.
Its no wonder that folks like David Hasselhoff are ‚ÄövÑv big in Germany‚ÄövÑvp.
A big thank you to the ML for letting me post on this site. Hopefully I will be able to chime in with news from the front from time to time.
