<The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German >

Well, we won the war! Yes, yes, I know I wasn't even born then so I didn't strictly win it. But my father risked my life against Rommel, who nearly scored a bullseye and you would not have the enduring pleasure or reading these literary master-peaces about master-races and the fact that German DNA is 98% chimp!

If we need any German words, like Heineken, or Beethoven, we can just pinch them.

Now, everyone just needs to learn the Kiwi accent. <ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst place >

Okay, over and out. No need to ban me... I've ceased and desisted...
