Though I guess those are overwhelmingly city-dwellers from the Ruhr and other places where industry and urbanisation are widespread.

That's about all I know, because my language lessens were limited to fishing

Give it a few months to get prepared, take the usual northern route through Belgium, and we'll all be home before the leaves fall.

Now, now, where did I put those land xAPs... Ah here they are...

But now we stand side by side in AFG, and hide at home in Libya while the FRENCH are at war.

Not so bad outcome, either

You don't have to have no German language skills to be incapable of understanding German women...

Reminds me of the joke about Germans never needing a compas because if you hand one a maching gun, he'll point to Paris.
