#1 Boy, what an opportunity to produce a Pythonesque German-Italian phrase book!

#2 Bild staged a "beach demonstration" in front of the Italian embassy in Berlin yesterday with topless models on deckchairs to prove how "beautiful, sexy and charming" the Germans are.

What the Italians will probably end up with are the same type of Germans I saw in Mombasa: middle-aged, heavy, surly, and arrogant.

#3 Were the topless ladies imported from Russia, or did they sport hairy legs and underarms?

#4 Now why don't the French try to woo American tourists back this way?

Kalle--Man, some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen were in Germany! I can still remember vividly this one long, tall, gorgeous blonde with the sexiest accent I have ever heard--a mixture of German, Oxford English (from her native-English English instructors), and American South (from spending time as an exchange student in Texas). Yowsa!

#7 I agree Dar, we have beautiful women here (and not so beautiful ones of course). And they do shave.

This has all turned out to be a ridiculous affair. Schroeder is once again resorting to a "popularistic" stance to divert attention from other problems. Nice side effect: The Berlusconi government seems to run into troubled water.

Not to fire the guy responsable for tourism who insults German tourists (German tourists account for 40% of all visitors and spend nearly 10bn of Euro a year in Italy) is not the smartest thing to do though.
