Brits do say it, but really only those that fought in WW2, I believe. No one has ever said it to me really. The usual thing I get when someone tries to insult my heritage is them doing the Hitler salute. I'd prefer them calling me Kraut, that's for sure!

Actually a valid excuse - I moved to a new city a few months ago and am still friendless, so I totally get that.

"Lehman is completely Dagenham." I have no idea what this means but it sounds like something very kinky...

I already expressed my outraged over leaving him out of the last Tighlights! I mean, really! Look at all the cute! Just too bad that goalies rarely take their shirt off... Sigh.

Comment of the day!

I totally get the Lehmann love! I have such a weird, persistent attraction to pretty much any goal keeper (what's the plural to that? Goal keepers? Goalies?)! Put a tall man in a goal and I swoon. Heck, I even find Oliver Kahn attractive, good Lord! Have you seen the Chilean goal keeper? SUCH a hottie! (too lazy to…

Speaking as another woman, I can only laugh at anyone who pretends that ogling up a couple of sweaty soccer players is even remotely the same as centuries of sexual exploitation, objectification, and suppression of women.

Why are you friends with such an asshole?!

Normal? Bey rented an entire zoo for that party!

This is the best recipe, hands down. I'm German, so trust me on knowing about bread! http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.de/2009/02/delici…

My room mate warned me that I would "cry more than you ever did at a movie", and I so didn't get it. I mean, they marry, are happy together, live quite a long life together and die in each other's arms... Um... Yay them?

I do not understand people's obsession with this movie. I found it exceptionally unromantic and hated the female character. She was just whiney and bitchy and just really not a very nice character at all, yet everyone loved her, bleurg.

This is exactly what I try to make my fellow Germans understand when it comes to the plight of African illegal immigrants trying to cross into EU territory by boat. What utter desperation must drive them to risk such terrible conditions and such a high probability of drowning? And yet, when you listen to especially…

We only have one meeting place with the same leader here in my city, so no choice there.

I've just started weight watchers as well, high five! I went to a German ww meeting for the first time (did the NZ ones years ago) and I hate them. :-( It's going to be really difficult motivating myself to go every week, I'm just not the type for these "let's all talk obsessively about food and be all chirpy and…

Germany played super flat and blah today (given what they are actually capable of, that is) - you shouldn't worry too much really. My money is on the Netherlands to win it, or France, possibly!

What, no love for Germany's goalkeeper??????

Such a cutie - not really my type because he looks so young that I feel pervy, but my inner teenager approves of this little charmer!

Quite a few hotties this year - Ghana's team alone is worth watching. Also quite enjoyed the Aussie guys, yum yum yum.

He's so cute, totally crushing on him too. Also happens to be one of Germany's best players at the moment.
