If you were actually to use the whole quote, theres a rather cheeky Smilie at the end of it, meaning I wasn't entirely serious, as thats a phrase proven to piss people off, and my aim was to piss Icebreaker off, because he was being a complete bastard

you're digging up 50 year old stereotypes and five minutes later you call somebody a sad stereotyping bastard

that's what i wanted to say...and you're the one who's causing crap with your stupid clich�s

It's hilarious, don't miss it next Friday at 9:50pm where he visits Spain, the "sponge" of Europe

He basically travels Europe, finding the culture, but if you know Jeremy Clarkson, you'll know he's funny as fuck, and obsessesed with cars with big engines and basically acting like a tit.

Apparently a recent study shows that the average Brit laughs for 15 minutes a day, while the average German laughs just 6 minutes. The bit about East Germany was the best. The pregnancy rate in East Germany is the lowest in the world. He also tried to find out why Germany ship their crappest wines to the UK. He gave people in a German street "blue nun" and asked them if they liked it, and most did! He concluded that they 'think' they are exporting the nicest stuff.

He also exposed some weird laws in Germany. Apparently you need a license from the government to play golf, and pay an annual fee of �700! It is also legal to run over small dogs, and in some places in East Germany illegal to feed your cat in the garden on a Sunday I think.

He also found a hotel that recreates the grimness of East German accomodation, and a "laughter clinic" where people force out laughter in a big group in this church for hours on end, with a head person teaching them what to do! Weird! They were barking round like chickens and all sorts.

All I can suggest is watch it next week. He has a particular disliking for Spain so it should be good!

It's all to be taken with a pinch of salt of course, this is Jeremy Clarkson after all. He went to Belgium and found some very weird stuff. one sport is betting on where in a field a cow will shit. You bet on a square, and thousands arrive to watch it. The one he went to people drove miles to see it, waited an hour, then left.

I think this has got a little out of hand. I know you may have seen some things as offensive, but they r said day a=i and day out in england. So it was not suprising to see them in the uk forum. Where to be honest you dont expect to see people from other cultures.

We need to invent a new forum language so we can chat without other people knowing what we say.

But i am sure it was all ment in fun.

So chill out everyone

Hmmmmmmm so much for an international community . . .

Icebreaker is banned from this forum (this happened last night), He can't even see the UK forum haha

Oh btw, just cos a member is not English, French, American, Dutch etc
does NOT mean they can not visit other regional forums.
The UK forum does NOT belong to UKTA's, it belongs to every member of TA, so they can come here and see what the scene is like here as with the other regional forums.
U all jump on Gouryella etc for being racist, I can't see any difference in what U are doing here.

Fair enough mate but the uk forum is the uk forum. Where people from the uk speak. You would expect uk feelings to spill over in the uk forum.

This isnt acceptable in any other forum on ta. But i dunno.

Im patriotic. But im not racist, atleast i try not to be.

But i am sure if you could understand other forums u would see comments like this mad,e just we cant understand them

Anyway we r all equal on this forum. So nobody is better than anyone else. Except England are better than argentina. For the moment anyway .

P.s At Football

No doubt someone will get all riled up, but isn't it the Germans who are famous for eating lots of meat?

I agree with Wicked Neo, a UK forum is to discuss UK matters, not just for UK people, but telling people to "shut the fuck up" breaches that civility. If people feel this forum is a nest of racism they should criticise constructively.

actually yes...most clich�s are older than 50 years

no...you guys started talking about WW2 (and even if it's just an old joke, it isn't funny at all)

anyways, please don't get me wrong...i don't hate you guys or something, but i don't like the way you talk about us...and if i'd say the same things you said about us you'd probably call me a nazi

Let's just put it down to a cultural difference. A lot of Americans don't understand British humour either.

The football chant has been sung in German games without causing much offence, and from what I've seen most Germans seem more ashamed of their Nazi past than anything, just as most Brits aren't pleased we ruled the 7 seas tyrannically for the most part of a millenium.

Also, the "two world wars and one world cup" remark slightly takes the piss out of ourselves too (this is the British style humour many others don't understand) because you guys have actually won more world cups than us so it's not exactly something to tease Germans about. That's the whole point of the joke. The world wars bit has that 'shock value' about it which makes people laugh, because it's a sensitive issue you're not really expected to bring up in front of Germans, but when we started chanting it to thousands of Germans it broke the taboo.

mate, sit back and have a chillll its tradition that the english take the piss out of germans... and the irish for that matter.. probably more. look at DJ O'Calla.. we take the piss out of him for bein an irish **** pretty much every week.. he can take a joke

they are just playin with u mate.. the more you rise to it the more they will do it.. its english nature to wind people up

oh.. and calling someone a nazi isnt something to joke about, im sure youll probably agree with me when i say nazi's are ****s (if u dont agree then u are infact a nazi ) and we dont run around calling people that (except certain members of italian decent )

no more arguin please... ive seen enough so back to the topic... repeat after me:

WE BEAT THE ARGIES ONE NIL!!!!!!!!!!!

Hm...in other threads u mentioned that "looking like a german" is the worst thing that can happen to you either...Even if u explain this one with "british humor" as well....Im not so sure if theres no still-existent rivaly behind it. Sure ur mentality is different (your press being probably the most aggressive / polemic one on earth) but think once if u were in the situation of a 18 year old german who has to read all of that. The new generation HAS responsibility and should never forget- but thay are totally innocent and dont deserve to be blamed for nazi-crimes..or just associated with them..or being bashed on account of them

No one has ever used nazis as an offensive tool, they've just stated that calling a german a nazi would be bang out of order (unless they actually were).

Posted by Dj O'Callaghan on Jun-09-2002 02:56:

Jeff is totally right I do take it all as a joke . For an instance I laugh at some English people, theres some right Malcolms over here like people with dodgy ginger beards and jam jar glasses who only drink REAL ALE hahaha and talk in a funny voice oh yeah and like country pursuites and reinact battles for the whole weekend LMAO, its all banter at the end of the day thats why I like Europe, we're all so different from each other, I think its cool, and it makes us very intresting, I like every nationality in Europe.

Andi your fellow countryman was creating trouble people repiled back in hostile fashion just as hostile as his post, If one of the UKTAs went into the German forum and started offensivly posting, I would leave him to face the wrath of the Germanic people as simple as that as he or her started it

Posted by Kia Kaha on Jun-09-2002 03:00:

Bah why are all you UKTAs taking the time to argue with Germans ... 5 - 1 says you can call them whatever you want

Anyway what a fuckin superb game, I know the words 'England' 'football' and 'consistency' have not frequently been used in the same sentence, but mate if they can just keep it together and play like that for the next couple of weeks then you are looking at the next world champions without a doubt.

Come on the Eng-errr-llaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnd

You know what's gonna suck when England win though? ... Beckham will get a knighthood ... and then fucking Posh Spice will be "Lady Beckham" I don't know if I can tolerate that

Hey, we're not America! Our Prime Minister lives in a scruffy back alley next to a road in London!

We will win though

Actually I don't think she'd get an official title if Beckham was Knighted.....?

Posted by Dj Martijn on Jun-09-2002 19:14:

geez, there are alot of angry ppl on this thread. As Jeff said all the jokes are just in good humour, don't get wound up so easily, and even after al this has been explained ppl still carry on the argument! What's the point! Look at the title of this thread U Shafters!
