The Germans

Today I received an email from one of my friends in Germany about the German. The text is written in a kind of Dinglish (German Englisch). It is even I do not know ... what kind of text it should be?!

Ich weiss net..... i dont know....found in the net

READ(it is worth it):

The Germanies, also known as just Germany, is a country in Europa. It is divided into two regions: "good Germany" and "bad Germany". "Good Germany" is seperated from "bad Germany" by means of the "Berlin wall" which runs north-south through the city of Berlin and from there extends in a [1] straight line towards the borders of the two Germanies. Though it is the "Berlin wall", it is directly connected to the chinese wall. It was part of the plan of bad Germany to annect entire Asia as the startphase for world domination.

In things of security, every german has to be always able to prove that he is german. The most common way to do this is to carry a "Bratwurst" all the time, because every german knows, that a man with a Bratwurst MUST be a german. You can distinguish tourists and REAL germans by looking wether they carry a currywurst and a very good tasting "Reissdorf K?lsch"-Beer. Germans wake up in the morning and dance the "schuhplattler" a well known dance in Germany which also acts like identity...

What mostly americans seem to favor is that a large part of Germany is called Bavaria (which is where people have nothing else to do than running round in the streets wearing leather shorts, yodeling and drinking beer out of large mugs) or Austria (which looks like a part of Bavaria anyway) or Switzerland (same as Austria but for the very very long "Alpenhorn" ... gotta see that, ladies).

Has the thinnest book in the world. (1000 years of german Humor)

Die Germans sind also sehr gerne at dem Strand. (Fight with towels against the Britishs)

Known to be not known for food. (except german food that nobody likes much) Though through turkish influences you get to see many germans eating Doner Kebap recently. A food which was invented in germany. (No, not by germans. By Turk(ey)s.)

And DJ MONZA is the most popular DJ of Germany.

And they speak German, not Deutsch.

Also sind the deutschen very erfahren in der usage des offenen Betriebssystems GNU/Linux.

All German students must pass examinations in sauerbraten and sauerkraut manufacture. Those who pass receive the designation of Sauerpuss.

Contrary to popular belief, the German language is easy to master. All it takes is an elementary knowledge of numerology, rune-casting and 18th-century German epistemology. Failing that, you can always impress fellow German speakers by stringing three or more words together to make new ones, e.g. schadenfreudebitteachtungsein, which means "Hi."

All Germans wear monocles and have pointy grey goatees, even the men.

German scientists are all mad and always seek of new ways to rule or destroy the world. They are all part of the aristorcracy and usually use the title "von" (like in "von Mueller") to make them easily distinguishable from non german scientists. When in foreign countries their title of course is kept secret to not point to the fact that they are german. So when in the U.S. a Professor von Mueller will call himself Professor Mueller to puzzle investigators and divert them from his true motivations.

In 2th world war nazis used M109 airplane. They used Junkers JU87 "Stuka" plane too. It was powerful but slow because Stukas weight was too big. Germany's chancellor is the ugliest person in the world and yes, she REALLY is a woman. Please don't take her for Frankenstein's monster, because it was her dad and she really loved him (he died after he had seen his new-born daughter).

Germans hate everything, even themselves.

Learn about UK: Guy Fawkes Night



Another reason to love the UK.... Fireworks twice a year;)

In 1605 Guy Fawkes, a Roman Catholic, and his fellow conspirators attempted to blow up King James I and the Houses of Parliament, as they disagreed with the King’s Protestant policies. They succeeded in storing some 30 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar under the Houses of Parliament, but before Parliament opened on November 5th, the ‘gunpowder plot’, as it has come to be known, was discovered. Guy Fawkes and his colleagues were executed for treason. Since then, the 5th of November has been celebrated in England by the burning on bonfires of stuffed figures of Guy Fawkes, usually accompanied by firework displays. These may be large organised events open to members of the public, or smaller, private gatherings of family and friends held in people’s gardens. ‘Guy Fawkes Night’ is also known as ‘Bonfire Night’ or ‘Firework Night’. In the days leading up to the 5th of November children traditionally take their home-made Guys out onto the streets of their town or village and ask passers-by for ‘a penny for the Guy’. This money is supposedly used as a contribution towards their fireworks.

Learn about UK: Remembrance Day

The poppy is traditionally worn on Remembrance Day in memory of service personnel who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and subsequent conflicts like the Falklands War and the Gulf War.The red poppies represent the poppies that grew in the cornfields of Flanders in the First World War where many thousands of soldiers lost their lives. The paper poppies that are worn today are made by ex-service personnel and are sold by representatives of the Royal British Legion, an organisation of ex-servicemen and women.Remembrance Day falls on the nearest Sunday to 11 November - the day peace was declared. The day is commemorated by church services around the country and a parade of ex-service personnel in London’s Whitehall. Wreaths of poppies are left at the Cenotaph, a war memorial in Whitehall, built after the First World War.By tradition, at 11.00am on Remembrance Sunday a two minute silence is observed at the Cenotaph and elsewhere in the country to honour those who lost their lives. In recent years, a two minutes silence has also been observed at 11.00am on 11th November itself.
Annoncement: Germany starts to celebarate is carnival at the 11th November at 11:11 am, but just because it is a foolish number!

martial arts

Finally, after rugby and girls football I found a sports club I love to join! Capoeira! So today Tinq, Saray and me had our first lesson…. Damn so much fun and so exhausting! We learnt our first moves and kicks and we had a damn hard training for beginners…. I’m pretty I will not be able to move any part of my body tomorrow!

Juan turned 24!


Yannik dressed up for the Bday;)



Nice weekend! 2 dayz hang over…. and lots of fun!

My room mate Rose and me were all excited to celebrate the first birthday in our flat! So we went to the ALDI to get a nice cake and to the place next to ALDI (nobody knows the name) to get some deco stuff…..

Funny situation #1: Like girls usually do, we shopped a lot! 2 bottles of wine, some Martini… well, you know… and almost forgot the cake (nice going).

After we arrived in our nice flat, we immediately started to do the deco in the kitchen… What was so much fun, that we decided to drink our first Martini lemonade.

Martini done, cake done… lets have a little tea time with our mates! So we shaded the kitchen, lighted the candles and got Juan.

Funny situation #2: When I went to Juan’s room to get him I asked him if it is possible to join us in the kitchen for a sec…. he was thinking he did some bad and was totally scared (nice going again!)



After the bday cake everybody went back to their rooms… everybody? No! Rose and I decided to celebrate the birthday just a little bit more with Martini…!

6 PM: 2 bottles of Martini almost gone! Chris joined us in the kitchen to finishing the rest of the second bottle together!

8 PM: Started to drink wine…. Juan’s friends arrived and we did a good job to embarrass him! E.g. Rose tried to speak Spanish with all guests even they were not Spanish!

8:30 PM: Nick arrived. “Never saw you drunk before” - “Want a beer?”

Funny situation #4: Juan invited al his friends to come into our flat to eat some pizza before coming out. Even, eating Pizza was the purpose for the meeting and about 20 people stand in the kitchen - we burned it!

10 PM: Michelle was back from the “vagina monologues”






10:30 PM: The birthday crowed went out for Party. My room mates, Rose friends, Nick and me still in the kitchen!

Funny situation #4: Rose: “Juan, get wet!” (no comment)

11 PM: Talked about the “vagina monologues” and while played stupid drinking games (e.g. drinking to Sting’s Rosanne) Nick was reading something out of the book about the “vagina monologues”….

All I can remember:
“What kind of cloth would your vagina wear?”

..... so we finally had a party to the early morning!

Oh important, I wore my first fancy dress: a school uniform;)




Balance of the night:

Me and Rose
2 bottles Martini

Whole bunch of people who stayed in the flat;)
3 bottles of Wine
8 "wife beater" Stella 0.5
12 Fosters 0.5
1 bottle Tequilla
1 bottle Vodka


Funny situation #6: Sunday morning Emmy arrived with her parents in a totally messe up flat (only floor, thx good Rose already cleaned up the kitchen - but still nice going)

Next party: Helena's houseparty on Thursday;)

Dark clouds raisin above student’s paradise.

Headline also could be “the small differences” again. After Minh- An’s first drive- by, England also showed off his violent side! Yesterday, about 5 youngsters beat up an 51 old (father of 6 children) to death on our campus. On our way to our fav pub “The quilt” Jonas, Manu, Andi and me passed a lot of police. Sure, we knew something happened… but that is even worse!

I was thinking a lot if I should mention this scenario (yes mum, because you are reading the blog as well) here, but I really want to mention a quote from one of the cops me and Rose met the other day:

So we were asking the cop what’s happened. He told us nothing special and we responded there had to be something when the forensics are coming around and build up a tent!

“Girls, there is no reason to be scared. Forensics always coming to the site of crime, even it is just a graffiti on the wall!”

Mmmh, yeah right! So not the forensics are drawing the body on the ground that’s just a graffiti right?!






“MAN MURDERED AT UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
A man has been murdered at the University of Central Lancashire campus in Preston. A manhunt was launched after the 51-year-old man was found with terrible injuries shortly after 7pm on Friday.

He was found by two female students on a walkway, known to students as Victoria Path, which passes directly behind the university's new student union venue, 53 Degrees, on Fylde Road.

Police and paramedics were called at 7.19pm but the man was declared dead at the scene.

One eyewitness said: "His face was just a mess. I think he'd been beaten. That's what it looked like."

Police immediately sealed off a large area of the university campus between Brook Street, Victoria Street, Plungington Road and the student's union building.

A car park, between the road and Victoria Building which is
believed to be used mostly by staff from Victoria Building, was also largely cordoned off.

Police confirmed the incident was being treated as murder and appealed for witnesses.

A university spokesman confirmed no staff or students were involved in the incident.

He said: "UCLan security services are liaising with the police to discover if footage from the university CCTV cameras can help with the police investigation."

Two men have been arrested and are helping police with their inquiries.

A police spokesman said: "At 7.19pm, an ambulance was called to a pathway that runs by the side of the 53 Degrees club from Fylde Road to Adelphi Street.

"A male was found with head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The police are investigating how he came to receive the injuries but are aware that a number of people were in the area at that time and may have witnessed some disturbance taking place."

Don't want do leave a comment under specific topics and just want to say hello? Go to:


I miss you, guys!

Sorry, German this time.... (survey from a friend)

Hi Guys!

Studenten sitzen alle im selben Boot deswegen sollte man sich auch gegenseitig helfen! Also nehmt euch doch mal ein zwei Minuten Zeit um die Umfrage von Phil zu beantworten....

Achso, der Gute braeuchte besonders die Hilfe aelterer Semester! Also Mum and Dad.... auch ihr seid gefragt!

Einfach Link unten anklicken... und los gehts!

Thx
"Hallo liebe Leute,


wie einige von Euch ja bereits wissen, schreibe ich zur Zeit in einer Mischung aus Fleiß und Wahn an meiner Diplomarbeit. Es handelt sich dabei um eine experimentelle Untersuchung zum Thema Preiswahrnehmung für die eine sehr hohe Anzahl von Probanden notwendig ist (mindestens 500!!).

Es wäre daher super, wenn Ihr mich hierbei unterstützt und meinen mit Liebe gestalteten, aber dennoch kurzen Fragebogen ausfüllt.

Außerdem wäre es natürlich genial, wenn Ihr den Link auch an Freunde, Bekannte & Kollegen weiterschicken könntet. Insbesondere wäre es toll, wenn Ihr vielleicht auch ein paar etwas "ältere Semester" gewinnen könntet, da dadurch die Repräsentativität der Umfrage noch weiter gesteigert werden könnte.

Der Fragebogen wird nur ca. 5 bis 8 Minuten dauern. Als kleinen Anreiz verlose ich unter den Teilnehmern ein Amazon-Gutschein im Wert von 50 Euro. Das ist doch ein Wort, oder?

Hier geht´s zum Fragebogen:

Ich danke Euch schon jetzt sehr herzlich für Eure Unterstützung!

Viele Grüße,

Philipp"

Quote of the day

Living in an international environment, where more or less everybody is trying to learn English, a lot of funny words and sentences will come up. Therefore I decide to start “quote of the day”. Those of you who know my profile on the networking page “studivz” know that I also really like film quotes…. So, if there is no “sambucca quote” you will find a movie quote instead.

Getting started with some old ones:


Every German knows the stupid English teacher joke: “Can I become a beefsteak?”.
So, what’s about this one......


“I made myself a pizza” Woodheadcrew member 2006

Guess you will look better with double cheese;)






After spending some month in the US Saray came to England. Never wondering why people always asking her “Are you KILLING me?”. Well, bad joke can kind of killin’ you, but still we prefer “KIDDIN’”…… However, a running gage was born.


Spending time with Amin I learned to enjoy Def Jam stand up comedy. But still my favourite is Eddie Murphys RAW stand up from 1987. The best part of his show was taking the piss of Bill Cosby….. If you don’t know it, you really should watch it!
He even had the look and the voice of Bill.

Guess this will be the longest quote ever:

Imagin’: Late 80ies. Eddie Murphy in a really ugly tight purple leather dress.

Comin’ up to the stage like:
Do you watch the Bill Cosby Show?I do too.
I love Bill Cosby's show.
I been a big fan of Bill Cosby all my life.

Never met the man before, but he called me up about a year ago and chastised me on the phone for being too dirty on-stage.
[remember late 80ies where not as dirty as nowheredays and he was sexism, racism…
what the fuck... he pretty much know all the –isms]

It was real weird, because I had never met him and he just thought… it was... he should call me up…. because he was Bill… and tell me… that he did.... about what comedy is all about.
And I sat and listened to this man chastise me.
And when Bill Cosby chastises you, you forget you grown.
You feel like one of the Cosby kids and shit….

And I ran in the house all excited to talk to Bill and picked up the telephoneand
Bill got raw on me.
I was like, "Hello, Mr. Cosby?"
And you hear:
"I would liiiiiike to talk to you.....about some of the things that you do in your …. show… now! …I'm going to tell you a story."

[image the cosby voice]
He always tells you stories.

"I would like to tell you a story…..I have five children….. one, two, three, four, five….Five... Five children… I live in Massachusetts with my wife… Camille, and my five children… now! one of the five children that we have… there are four girls and a boy…the boy's name is Ennis…he loves everything you do….
Comes home from school the other day… with a big smile on his face and
my son looks just like me
[Cosby face]

He walks through the door…looking at me with this big smile…..and I cannot resist, becauseit's such a beautiful smile.And he walks up and
I say…'What are you smiling about? '
And the child says to me: 'I'm smiling because I need money to go see the Eddie Murphy show….please give me money for a ticket.
Now!...if the child is smiling this way because he needs money for a ticket…I have to give him money for a ticket. I do not handle the money in the house… my wife… Camille ..handles the ticket money. So I must go into the kitchen, to where my wife is cooking dinner for the family…and she is inside the kitchen cooking….and she's got a bowl….and she's cooking up the food.. man.. she's cooking it up. And the child walks in the room with the smile and he says…
'Mother, please, money. '
She gives him the money…he runs off to see your show. Now! we sit in the living room waiting for Ennis to return….at about…in the morning… the child comes through the door… he has a different look on his face.. a look like he heard something at your show that he's never heard before… and I say to my child..


[Bill and Ennis]
I say, 'Child... 'I say,
'What did the man say on the stage? '
And he says, 'Pop, the man comes out and says these things.
'I say, 'Well, what did he say?
'Pop, he comes out and says some stuff.'
I say, 'What did he do?
''Pop, he walks out and he goes:
~“Hello, suck this, and MF and kiss my big black stuff….and suck it and stick it down in your mouth and suck it, suck it."~'

[Bill and Eddie]
B: You cannot say filth, flarn, filth, flarn, filth in front of people.
E: And I say, "I never said no 'filth, flarn, filth'."
B: You know what I'm talking about.I can't use the type of languagethat you use, but you know what I mean when I say 'filth, flarn, flarn, flarn, filth'."
E: I say, "I never said 'filth, flarn, filth'.I don't know what you're talking about.I'm offended you called. Fuck you."
That's when Bill got pissed and said:"That's what I'm talking about.You cannot say 'fuck'......in front of people."
And I got mad… because he thought that was my whole act… like I just walked out on-stageand cursed and left…
I manage to stick in some jokes between the curses.
You couldn't give no curse show...
Walk out, say, "Hey, Felt Forum,"motherfucker, dick, pussy, snot and shit.
Good night.

Good night.
Suck my dick.
Bye-bye.

International Training: Japanisch


Neben Englisch schnappt man auch gern mal die eine oder andere Sprache auf! Neben Spanisch lernt man da auch Mandarin (Chinesisch) oder auch Japanisch... mit dem ich diesmal beeindrucken will;)

lets start with the face - omo
eye - me
mouth - kuchi (kiss is really easy - kissu)
ear - mimi
nose - hana
Colours
well I only know green, because there is a melon liqueur in the uk, called midori
green - midoriiro
Some phrases
good morning - ohayou.
thanks - arigatou./ dumo.
sorry - gomennasai.
toast! - kanpai!
congratulations! - omedeton!
ready? - junbi dekita?
Some words
beautiful - utsukusii
.....

unnuetzes Wissen

Um erfolgreich zu sein, muss ein japanischer Popsong mindestens 1 englischen Satz enthalten.

Japaner sind auf Harmonie im Gespraech aus. Deshalb machen sie auch gern Gesten also ob sie einen verstehen - auch wenn nur "blah blah blah" aller Homer J. Simpson dabei rumkommt;)

Die Beweise bis jetzt:

Natuerlich hab ich bereits eine Reporterin abgesandt, die dies fuer die weiteren Sprachen auf diesem Campus herausfinden wird;)

Wenn dir noch ne Sprache einfaellt wo es anders oder genauso ist: POSTen!

Es sind die kleinen Dinge.....

Heute sass ich in meinem Kurs fuer Study Skills, halb gefuellt mit Deutschen und Briten (Ausnahmsweise nur ein Chinese, komisch eigentlich..)nach einem Blick in die Runde ist mir aufgefallen, dass es abgesehen von der Sprache (und Kleidung..)noch ein besonderes Merkmal gibt, um Deutsche und Briten auseinander zu halten.... die Collegebloecke (Pads).... Wieso?!?

Weil wir Deutschen einfach nicht schnallen, dass man zum schreiben Linien benutzt;)

Wochenlang sind Chris und ich hier durch die Gegend gerannt, um einen simplen karierten Block zufinden. Standesgemaess haben wir uns natuerlich geweigert uns anzupassen (Linien, tssss auf sowas schreiben WIR doch nicht) und ausserdem sind wir Europaer und DIE wollen sich uns ja auch nicht anpassen... von wegen andere Strassenseite, Waehrung und Steckdosen;) Den deutschen Gebruedern sei Dank fuer das Sonderangbot!! Nun, haben wir endlich unsere Bloecke und wirken damit wie Vorschulkinder.... Denn genau die benutzen die kleinen suessen Kaestchen um schreiben zu lernen. Hat man diese Challenge geschafft benuzt man Linien, denn man kann schon problemlos schreiben.... Logisch, oder??
