having lived in Germany (provincial Germany, not Berlin) I can confirm that Germans do in fact have a sense of humour.
It is unfortunately deeply unsophisticated and resembles the sense of humour of a horny 1970s mongoloid.

that is a very good comparison. In Germany, Peter Kay would be thought of as highbrow. And possibly sexy.

And I've found it to be very droll, mainly revolving around clever word play and witticisms which is far easier to exploit given german word conjugation. I do think that the older post-war pre-70's generations are a bit lame and tasteless though... und folglich gleich wie England. ;)

I had to endure far too much of Tennyson and his regurgitated bullshit. He read about the Charge of the light brigade in the Times for fucks sake. Wilfred owen, now there is a war poet I can get into, even if Siegfried Sassoon edited and recomposed his finest works. Dulce et decorum est, eh!
Your sig does make it read better though, dropping the comma makes it make alot more sense.

I didn't mean it to come across that way. I just really dislike Alfred (he was never a lord) Tennyson.

I far, FAR prefer early hippy Tennyson: All the "ah welaway" & "Oh! That one so beautiful should have so dull an ear!" &c.
