I could even get Hanson to do a song for me.
In touch with the kids on the street.
I do know a couple of young blokes who are all LFC and YNWA because of Jürgen. They assure me that they’ll remain fans, but I suspect it will be with less intensity.
The pub wasn’t as full as I’d expected yesterday.
I’ll keep you informed.
The ‘German contingent’…Ok…
Our weekly meeting pictured above
Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere.
GR has to do his premature goal announcements, Livvy has to share her videos and Red Whippet has to be here to like my posts.
Thanks ! I am lucky to live on one of the hills of Saarbrücken so I am not affected at all, but a lot of friends and colleagues are. So these days are for helping them and that will take some time. More heavy rain is due tomorrow, so we are all a bit nervous.
Re LFC : I started loving the club in the last year of Houllier and like the other German based fans I am not going anywhere The future is always bright with this club and its better to be third than to cheat your way to a fourth, fifth or sixth title or to follow one of these daft London clubs.
sending to you all in Deutschland!
Except I live in a forest so it’s a bit more Brothers Grimm than that.
In fact, when we first moved in, a wolf started howling in the distance when I was watching the match and my whippet decided to join in. I told him that he couldn’t play with the wolves, for they are ruffians.
I know Germany has a reputation for being behind the times, what with fax machines still being a thing, but I have to applaud Telekom for their latest addition to the Magenta TV system…
Teletext!
Teletext was obsolete when it was introduced.
When I was at Television Centre in 2011 they showed me the computer that produced Ceefax. It dated back to the mid 1970s and half the reason they scrapped the service (or, at least moved to digital text) was that if they moved this thing, it would almost certainly break.
I hope it found its way to a museum.
Oops. An AfD poster went up near our house and there was a residents meeting about whether it should be taken down.
I mean we decided it was going in about 10 seconds. The rest of the meeting was arguing about which recycling bin it was meant to go in. That has to be the most German thing ever. The meeting ended with beer.
Love teletext, hate the AfD. Their posters belong in toxic waste.
I was going to say Everton’s trophy room, but it’s too good for them.
The AfD are now a bit too Nazi for the liking of Europe’s far-right:
