I also asked myself the same thing at first and then concluded that MB is referring to the movie "Saw IV".

I'm absolutely fizzing. Just had some little upstart go on about Britain:
1) The people are quite poor and therefore cant go out to restaurants. and "i mean, in every small german village there are restaurants" 2) engineers earn a third of what they do in germany. WTF? i dont think so 3) quality of life in britain is "MUCH LOWER" (gestured by pointing to ground) than in germany
woopdiefucking doo. god im raging!!! how fucking offensive!!! i would never roll on about things i dont like in germany to a german!!! >:(

Nothing grates on me more in the workplace than people coming and starting pointless boring conversations. repeatedly. i mean like 4 or 5 times a day. esp at 6pm when im trying to get cleared up. also staring at the screen. ive tried headphones and just tapping away at the keys. never works.
however, your fair city have won in the football against the dark ones, so no more venting from me for a bit

Oooooh that would explain all the people in football jerseys on the street last night. I had been wondering what that was about... So who are the dark ones and was this the CL or what? (As you can tell, I am thoroughly uninformed when it comes to football at the moment.)

Another thing I need to get off my chest:
On Wednesday I flew into Munich and for the first hour or so there, was in awe of all the great things that I miss about it. Why then, did some fucking German have to go an kill my buzz? I got into a taxi and started having a nice conversation with the German taxi driver about Bavarian food. So far, so good. Then the dialog went like this:
Driver: You know, I like America but I don't like my aunt who moved there because she left German when she married a man from Poland and you know, we gased the Polish so...but still, she shouldn't have moved!
Me:OK...
Driver: Yeah and I like George Bush, he's a little Hitler
Me: um, well yes some call him that.
Driver: yeah, I think it's a good thing! The world needs a little Hitler now and then! The Jews you see, they are running everything in the world. They hold all the money and all that's going on in the world is being driven by them.
Silence...
then
Driver: well, that's what I think anyway, I'm not sure.
Me: (politely) well perhaps you should research your theory then.
For the rest of the ride he went on and on about the Jews and what a great leader Hitler was. I was too shocked to speak. Then he over-charged me by about 8€ and tried to ask me out.

You should have told him that hoodwinking a red-head makes Hitler cry. And paid him €10 less than the fare as mental damages for having to listen to his drivel.

I FUCKIN hate my ex-boss, the PRICK has run off with the companys profits and now I have to leave Germany (the one place I love being) to find work immediately, as the FUCKER didnt even leave me any money to help with mortgage payments. FUCKIN TWAT. Jobless and homeless in a week with no warning TWAT. worked for him for 5 years, never took a day off ill and worked my bollox off to line his pockets.. not even a thanks or see ya later, the FUCKER just FUCKED off! I'd love to get my hands on him. CUNT.
AND what really pisses me off is that I have FUCKERS in my house in the UK not paying the rent, advocate fees are costing me a fortune and those dicks owe me thousands, the management company I regrettably pay £100 a month dont give a shit as its 'my problem' and the tenants are smashing my home up!! I COULD KILL EM! Plus I cant fucking move back in cos those gob SHITES somehow have the backing of the royally FUCKED UP law!
Gotta pay for moving costs, storage.. arghhh fuck this sentence, it just costs alot!
I bet any money the fuckers at Deutsche Telekom wont have any canceling of my mobile contract. No one will take over my apartment and so I'll be paying rent on my pad until end of the contract well into 2008!, even though Im leaving the country in 3 weeks.
No Money, No Job, A house I own yet no where to live, NO rent paid and a mortgage beckoning monthly, no support, no FUCKING joy, just pure Torture.

Lufthansa, any more shit offa you and I will lead an army of disgruntled* and exasperated customers to firm headquarters waving whatever they had to use to wipe themselves as the toilets ran out of paper 9.5 hours into a 10.5 hour flight. Late out of Houston, late out of Frankfurt, no bulkhead in spite of inflamed knees that go stiff after sitting for half an hour but this Mediterranean-looking guy in a business suit gets bulkhead AND an ice-pack for his knee while I am stuck behind a reclined seat for hours on end. To top that off, the conveyor belt ate my suitcase again, exposing its inner works and tearing big fat holes in the cover.
Maybe I am getting old but seven children below the age of 18 months in an Economy cabin is too many. Pay extra for a soundproof and smellproof cozy cabin and enjoy your children without subjecting me to their moods and needs. And frigging go to the toilets to change their diapers (not nappies, US flight).
