I suppose it's not so long ago that Trochowski and Podolski would have been good German names anyway. To be fair, it's not as if the handful of players with a Turkish background in the German squad is in any way different to the handful of players with, say, an Afro-Caribbean background in the England squad.

There are only two counties that can be in, Lancashire, or Yorkshire, but the smart money would be on Yorkshire. The smart money is on Warwickshire.

If we're talking national culinary stereotypes, I feel our tinned delights could be improved by the application of a layer of spray-on cheese.

FYP

The world will end when you pay £3 for a loaf of bread. I paid € 2.80 for a loaf the other day. You can do that quite easily in That Lahndan if you go to the right poncey deli.

Visions of them roping off the tinned goods aisle like they used to with alkiehol.

Once or twice at university before I learned to cook properly. It's grim as fuck like. Hits the hangover spot though.

The opposite in the next 100 years or so, if you believe the Global Warming MediaFuelled Conspiracy Cover Up......... ........(Help me out here Fop). In that case there's no point in spending millions on the infrastructure if it's only going to get swamped as we turn into a Scottish Highlands-sized island anyway.

The tides might dry up.
