SilsoeSid,

Per your request:

Meine Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voll von Aalen.


Those translaters are useless when translating phrases as they have no clue that something called grammar exists!

Cheerio.....In Germany maybe the outside lane guy owns the road but beware in the Netherlands . The little Herbert in his Toyota will swing out in front of you (without signalling) at 90 kph when you're doing 120 , into a down to a one car length gap . It's a question of I want to move out so I will!!! Beware the hat , large cigar and huge set of ears in a small car.

Reminds me of my first trip to Germany many years ago as a child. A relative of mine proudly dug out a phrase book for me to use while I was there. It was dated sometime in the mid 1940's - but surely the language hadn't changed that much...

Some of the Phrases contained within were useful:

I came here by parachute.
My tank has demolished your wall, the Army will compensate you.

Very useful...

The phrase: "ikke ikke syndroom" comes to mind

For those not to fluent in Dutch: The me first no matter what syndrome

They don't understand it, because they don't see their own failures over here... And if they would see 'em they can't laugh at them like us British...
