    I was talking to one the other day and I said that, from the outside looking in, Merkel's decision looked crazy. He agreed that it was crazy, but that at the time he'd supported it because he'd liked the idea of Germany being seen as the good guy. They're all blackmailed by their history, basically.
    Similar to us. Post imperial guilt and all that.

    Why are you spending so much time hanging out with the Hun?

    I have to go there on business more than I'd like. It's alright, but I do find it hard to warm to them.

    The beer is good. I had to go to a lunch with 12 of them once in Berlin. They are not funny. I find this very difficult to deal with.

    I hate eating with people at the best of times but this was torture. One of them told a racist joke that I still don't understand.

    The beer is good, but all the pilsener basically tastes the same due to having identical ingredients. And I can't stand Weissbier or dunkelbier. For that reason, I tend to get bored of German beer fairly quickly.

    The Germans do have a sense of humour, but it's not exactly subtle.

    Weissbier is pretty much the only type of beer that I genuinely like the taste of
