France is west of Germany, mein Freund.

There was the Snes mini a few years ago, that had a few select games on it. It was sold out everywhere instantly, to noone’s surprise. No N64 mini ever made it to production, to everyone’s surprise.

Don’t forget Martyn Congressman!

Fahrer Übt und Forsicht Oberfranken?

Meh, that’s just a box like the old Tipo, Panda, Regatta, Ducato and pretty much all other Fiat’s from the 80s/90s

Allein die Tatsache, dass es 85 vom Rundfunk betriebene Radiosender/Programme gibt, die sich abgesehen von der Regionalität kaum unterscheiden, sagt doch schon einiges.

What’s your problem with Spy Hard? It follows the same Leslie Nielsen formula as Wrongfully Accused.

Fenstersturz, actually.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.
