  1. In less than three weeks I & my youngest brother will be travelling to
    Berlin. Can anyone on this august forum give us advice for good places
    to visit, restaurants to eat at or bars to drink in? Thanks v. much.

    We're thinking of cycling around town, if it's possible and the weather
    holds. Could be a lot of fun.

  3. Tell your brother to scream "Heil [censored]" when he walks into the bars in
    Berlin and they will buy him free drinks.

    You are a first class, grade A donkeys butt. You realise that the above
    statement could be deadly, the average Germans experiencs after [censored]
    and Nazis in general has not been a pleasent one, especially since the
    result was having their country split in half, and occupied by
    foreigners bent on changing everything about it, for 40 years.

    The last time I was in Germany the average German wasn't having a
    pleasant time with having their country re-united.

    And the French said the same thing about their German tourists when I
    got to France.

    I think there was humour there somewhere, perhaps not the Fawlty Towers
    kind.

    What he is, besides being an ass, is a troll. An unimaginative little
    weasel doing his best to try and get a reaction.

    Overall, as a group, we have been doing well ignoring the various
    trolling attempts. Whether this is one troll, or a couple, if we just
    don't respond, they will become bored and move on to some other group.

    I know it's tempting, a few times I wanted to respond. But, knowing
    that is their goal, I resisted, not giving them the satisfaction.

    So, let's all continue to ignore these losers. Please do NOT respond
    to them.

    No worries about it being deadly: neither my brother nor I is dim enough
    to do such an inane thing.

    I'm thinking that if the weather co-operates a bike tour could be a
    _lot_ of fun.

    We were in an outdoor cafe in Trier in 1981. A group of Germans were sitting
    about four tables away and having a raucously good time. As we sat down we
    overheard one of their group loudly talking in German about [censored], Der
    Fueher and throwing in the occasional "Heil [censored]," etc., etc.

    We were getting really shocked disgusted with the whole scene and pretty
    well perplexed how everyone at the table was just sitting there listening
    and enjoying themselves. Then, the guy doing the talking suddenly broke into
    English, singing "Springtime for [censored]." It instantly dawned on us that
    these weren't a bunch of neo-nazis, he had been describing Mel Brooks
    classic "The Producers." Man, did we feel dumb.

    BTW, I later heard that one of the most popular TV shows in Germany was
    "Hogan's Hero's" dubbed into German. Obviously not being able to say "Heil,
    [censored]!" the German dubbed voice at every instance of a "Heil...", exclaims
    instead, "How high is the corn?"

    You are probably safer saying that in Germany, than you are saying
    something wrong on this newsgroup. My Grandfather on my fathers side
    was a German Jew during the war. It was unfortunate that he died
    before I was born. I am sure I could have learned alot from him. My
    grandmother was a chorus girl.....I learned a hell of a lot from her.
    ;-) The bike tour does sound fabulous.....Germany is a beautiful
    country.

    My father was German (not Jewish), and lived through the war, his
    opinion of [censored] and Co. was that the so called cure for the "Jewish
    problem", was way worse then the perceived problem in the first place.
    Unfortunately for dad he never saw the wall come down or his homeland
    reunified after the Russians destroyed half of it, and the Americans
    tried to "fix" the other half, of course if the Kaiser (King) hadn't
    been replaced with a psuedo Frenerican republic, WW 2 would not have
    occured. Dad passed on 28 years ago today.....
