Happy Birthday W.A. Mozart II
Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 23 January 2006
Most German's have an annoying habit, (if you're not English that is) of calling all Brits 'Engl�nder' so if you're a Paddy, Jock, or Taff, it can be quite demanding on one's patience at times! I mean I'd be bloody pissed off too, if somebody kept calling me Welsh all the time as well (and let's face it, who wouldn't Boyo, isn't tit?).
As the British (mainly English & 'HM Gutter Press) like to fondly refer to Germans as The Bosh, Krauts, The Hun, etc, etc, they themselves have a nice little descriptive phrase for us too, though far less insulting I find! We are tenderly known as 'Insel Affen' (Island Monkeys) (which is a light insult to a stranger) so when I'm in ignorant company (quite often) I start off by calling myself such, and get red faces all round, works a treat so it does; and breaks any ice that might still be lurking in tiny minds, dunnit.
Fritz
Enjoying it all***
P.S.
I refer here of course to everyday street German/English and not Company bullshit sprouted
out by two year contract wallers on high wages & commissions (Consultants & Sales)who wouldn't know their arses from their elbows in the real world of one to one meaningful communication, innit** Wotta Prize Old Bitch that Fritz is today, really, give him a wallnut to shut him up somebody**
N.B. There's hands afoot here to ban the speaking of other languages in school playgrounds (high level politics) in odour to improve allround Spoken-German amongst all kids and better comunication in class. The princible's good I reckon, but God only knows what stress will occur in trying to actually enforce it**
It's not always easy being a teacher*

Drinking Alone with the Moon
From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone.There was no one with me --
Till raising my cup, I ask the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring....
I sang. The moon encouraged me
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were born companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
....Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.

It is a well recorded fact that Sir Ian Blair was for many years a brilliant and succesfull Murder Squad Detective of the highest order with the Met. I tend to think though, (reading between the lines: IMHO) that this excellent track record does not automatically make one a good 'Highest Copper in the land', and I feel that he may well be unceremoniously & unfairly ousted, before his full time's up; but what the Dickens do I know?*

Having just enjoyed a rather nice early dinner, together with a Classic 'Only fools & Horses' wideo to-boot /The Opera and Hunting jobby with Wickey's Pater, etc), it's now time for some post-scram titbits, namely a mild Gouder, and a pretty decent soapy full mature bit of the same; as well! toasted to buggery on thinly sliced fresh baguette, with a smidgeon of even more freshly made '50/50 milk & water' Gunpowder English mustard (Alverstoke, Hants) to give it that extra Kazzam, and in fact Double Dutch at its very finest actually: and all washed doon with a pretty reasonable horizontal lubricant called (Entre' Der Legs, 2006: January was always a decent Vintage)(I kid you not).

So what's that for a load of old self-righteous Parryesque Baloney then Sir? The half that is taxed, or he half that call your own, or why did you play Lotto in the first place? Perhaps you are now not a poor man/person anyway, and a percentage of your own present wealth (without tax relief, etc, etc,) is worth a thousand times more than any large sum, ie, a pound from an Indian street beggar is worth far more than your £Monkeys squire, and please don't confuse yourself, because it's all about motive, and not relative quantity even, innit.

"Oi! I'm allergic to shagging!"

I was thinking that if I won �100,000,000 I might just be rich enough to start smoking on a regular basis one day? I was near shocked & stunned to learn that many Scottish people actually consider England as a foreign country, with it's different legal and educhashun systems, not to mention referring to whisky as Scotch, and the bampot healthier quisine with fruit & veggies an'all that shite, doonright disgusting so it is Jimmy!

I hear a rumour (only a rumour mind) that those true & Worthy unemployed incapacity-benefit-drawing British folk who really want to work, but are barred from doing so by silly medical certificates, and pension advisors, and (self taught) IFA's to-boot, can now go to Europe, see a Doctor, get passed fit, and return to happily re-contribute to society again, instead of being classed as a whinging, scrounging scallywag by the local Chavs. Still on the subject of the gross missuse of taxpayers money by local Councils and 'private Brasso interests', not to mention tax evading religions & 'Charities', I hear that many folk died in the recent cold snap through hypothermia, etc, let's see how well the gutter press reports it, now we're slowly moving over to the caring Tory point of view (in case you haven't noticed?): The dirty digger himself has very rarely & publically' so decreed', now that England's in €urope naturally too at last, innit.

Lorr! That's me then! Oh dear! Except that it certainly is not 'the most important thing!' But as in many things in life, it is best to get it right if you can. No one admires Tony Blair for waring poorly taylored evening dress when, even if he knows no better, he should at least have the advisors to help him get it right...
I guess I have upset a few here in the Padded Cell, but it takes alsorts to make the world go round, including the lovely folk, who debate the need for gaps under a 552 in the Hifi Room. I would prefer the debate, in that instance, to concentrate on what music effect such a change might produce, perhaps even with a description of the effect in a particular passage from this Beethoven symphony or Mozart concert, or whatever, but it does indeed takes alsorts and the world would be aduller place without eccentrics!

Define "right". Can you explain why it is important that he should dress correctly? (one can safely assume that he could easily afford almost any wardrobe) Perhaps he neither cares for uniforms or actually prefers to raise a subtle finger to establishment in this way? A declaration of independance from the signals that separate the classes?
