Say it ten times, quickly: Deutschlandachter!

by **Enzo** » Fri Aug 03, 2012 2:49 am

As a former radio announcer, I can usually say things; toy boat toy boat.

But I am not certain I can say Deutschlandachter once.

by **Lance** » Fri Aug 03, 2012 11:46 am

Yeah, I was struggling too. Perhaps a pronunciation key would help? Arneb?

"DOYTSH-lund-uch-tur"

Deutsch --> Doytsh
"land" as in Dolph Lundgren,
ch as in Loch Lomond, a as an Enlgishman would pronounce "ghastly"
"ter" bluntly and weakly, as in "better"

Achter ("eighter") is an eight-man oar boat, usually considered the flagship rowing discipline (cf Oxford vs. Cambridge boat race). The German eight-man won the Gold in London, for the first time since 1988, beating Great Brtitain and Canada.

And in the US, American football has resumed with pre-season play (and injuries), back-up refs, arrests, court appearances, and 3-0 Monday Night Football scores.

My Giants pretty much stood pat during the off season, while the rest of their division either improved (Redskins) or looks to better underwhelming seasons (Eagles, Cowboys). Given that they barely made their way in last year, I don't think they make the playoffs this year. On the upside, no one has even mentioned Brett Favre, yet.

Until just then.

Meanwhile, Hertha look promising for a relegation double-whammy after drawing their first and losing their second match, both against unremarkable teams.

Well, maybe they'll play Babelsberg next season. I'll be there, cheering Babelsberg to victory.

At least you're not in the Scottish Third AND OUT OF ONE OF THE CUPS . . .

Fuck this could be a looooooooooooong season.

Yes, the first ever SPL derby of the Cold Firm. And I can't go.

New Zealand has already clinched the title, but will play South Africa Saturday night (my time). I can live with either outcome on that one. Would very much like Argentina to humiliate Australia Sunday morning, but must recognise that this outcome does not seem very likely :(

If the Pumas can keep it as a forward grinder they may win, but that is the last thing the Convict Colony wants. Wallabies to win.

Fuck Stirling with a big fucky thing.

And fuck Hamburg likewise.

greuther Fürth 0 - 1 Hamburger SV

I was there, having this weekend off and staying with with my in-laws (who support Nuremberg, of all clubs!). It was, you know, PAINFUL!

Try saying Unterasbach without getting your tongue into a kot!

I'm going to Stirling on Friday, so I could do that for you if you like.

by **Heid the Ba** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 10:15 am

That would be handy, thanks. Do you need a visa to come that far south?

I'm getting my paperwork in order for a trip to Kingussie later in the month. :D

by **Lianachan** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 11:00 am

My visa is in order. Do you need one for Kingussie?

by **Heid the Ba** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 12:20 pm

I think it is part of the Aviemore Co-Prosperity Shere so there is a waiver system. I'll check with the consulate.

Germany 4 - 4 Sweden,

in a World Cup qualifier in Berlin.

The first time EVER a German national team squandered a 4 - 0 lead. Everyone here is stunned, and I am very happy I didn't watch the game as I would probably have been frothing at the mouth.

As a legendary German comedian once put it, Gut, dass das jetzt passiert (and not in World Cup quarterfinal :evil:

Apparently a Greek soccer team needed sponsor money so they got support from some brothels. Just imagining if that took off here, we love to sell off the naming rights to things. "Home of the Tennessee Twats" "Brought to you by the Colorado Cunts."

Coincidentally, if you have the board set to show 15 posts per page, this is appropriately on page 69.

By golly, it is page 69.
