Ah merry olde england drinkers

BEER WE GO

ENGLAND's massive army of World Cup fans is drinking Germany dry, it emerged yesterday. Breweries warned beer could run out before the final because of huge demand from our supporters. In Nuremberg, organisers revealed 70,000 England fans who flooded the city drank 1.2MILLION pints of beer - an average of 17 pints each. Astonished bar keeper Herrmann Murr said: "Never have I seen so many drink so much in such little time." His bar at a fans' tent in the city ran out after they drained all 32 of his 50-litre (11 gallon) barrels. Herr Murr calculated Britons were shifting beer at a staggering rate of 200 pints per minute.


ahhh the world cup

People

I love it how when people can't work something, they think it's broken.

Take today, I was behind this guy at the drive-in ATM. After like 5 minutes, he makes the effort to stick his head out and tell me it is broken and he can't get any cash and blah blah blah.

Well, I take one look at him, 60s, in some kind of crazy non-suv suv and decide he is crazy.

Of course he was and it worked just fine.

update

yes, I know, I am lazy

I have this whole giant post about China/Japan, but I have had trouble figuring out what day is what (since I wrote it post trip, 2 weeks kind of becomes a blur, on which day did I go to the Great Wall?)

I'll get on it

I promise
