Don't mention the war though

The British Embassy in Germany have done a favour for those of us planning to travel to the World Cup next summer. A website has been launched aimed at providing, in one place, all the information we'll need to get there and have a splendid time. Not difficult really. A beer hall and a big screen is most of us will require.

Also available are some handy German phrases such as;

überglücklich - over the moon

Beinschuss - nutmeg

Sadly there is no translation for

Two world wars and one world cup
Doo daah, doo daah.

I'm sure we'll have it worked out by next summer though.
