Germans are famous for many things – bad moustaches, bad brass bands, bad clothing, bad habit of annexing Poland – but a sense of humour is not one of them. To be fair, I’ve never seen a French sitcom, or a Polish one, but spend any amount of time in Germany and you’ll find that [...]
So, it turns out I may have been wrong when I said that I would rather have my testicles removed and stuck on my forehead and my penis refashioned into my nose than buy an SUV. My hatred of these lumbering beasts is recorded in countless rants – particularly against the evil Porsche Cayenne – [...]
