A friend i hadn't seen for a long time moved to a town 100km away. In Australian terms, that's practically just around the corner.

There, bathroom. There, there...

Luckily it's nowhere near as bad as it was in the 80s. Anyone who isn't a hooligan sees it as a national disgrace.

Not just his, but they travel with the team specifically so they can fight other teams' hooligans.

I mean... you say it like everyone does this. The vast majority of people just enjoy the game. Also, in many places in south america it's WAY worse

It is not reported as 'hooliganism' in the States when when fans riot. Acts similar to hooliganism are rarely reported at all. The biggest that I remember were the riots after college football Coach Paterno got sacked and his awards were taken away for covering years of SA by Asst. Coach Sandusky. And that got put down the memory hole quicker than the scandal did. Which was a week or so longer than other football scandals that attracted national attention.

Yes, they are idiots.

I'm from UK. This is not a common practice. Just drunk people upsetting other drunk people generally.

Can’t deny they are idiots. But add up all the football hooligans prosecuted each year and it’s still a smaller number than the number of Americans who shoot other people.

Hmph. Better than shooting each other every other day.

High school sporting events in the US are getting like this but with firearms all to often in the fray.

Chad/Lad culture at its finest

IOscar Wilde said sports is war without weapons.

Not all Americans are interested in football. I, for one, am not in the slightest bit interested.

You talk about them wearing different coloured football shirts (& I don’t agree with violence at all) but don’t slag off our country as in America you have the Bloods and the Crips with their different coloured bandanas hanging out of their droopy jeans back pockets…. Now they shoot each other…: I’d reckon that’s far worse!! 😡

Thankfully many - If not most - of these fights are arranged beforehand.

You can actually see this every single weekend in the United States. But eventually you'll come to your senses and leave Philadelphia.

Sorry, but football hooliganism is pretty much limited to the UK and not at all typical for continental Europe.

As an American you have no idea about left wing and right wing because, by European standards, both of your parties are right of centre.

I did this in Argentina. I loved being able to just get what I needed every day. Food is always fresh, cuts down a lot on waste, you get a little bit extra exercise, and you can make exactly what you're in the mood for that day.

Because since WW2 Americans are used to the taste of butyric acid. It used to be used to keep the milk from spoiling, now it's added because Americans actually prefer it that way.

So the picture shows non-tilt-and-turn windows... well done BP.

Long long ago, in a time forgotten.... Hot and cold water are kept separate to prevent contamination, cold water comes into the house directly from the mains supply and is safe to drink. Hot water was provided by an Immersion heater generally located in the loft of a house and as it sits there it is considered unsafe to drink. Water bylaws prevent hot and cold from being mixed - this still applies today, water is NOT allowed to mix until is exits the tap.

Haha, so I grew up in a town in southern France... the city center dates back a thousand (if not more) years ago, as in many places across Europe. That city is partnered with a big one in kentuky and they gifted a BIG police car to their french cousins. Nice! municipality police was so proud of their shiny BIG AMERICAN car. Butt of the joke : just try and picture that BIG AMERICAN police car manoeuvering in those medieval streets ; the result was hillarious and not efficient at all in cathing wrong doers.

You smoke to look cool the first time then the nicotine hits you, you'll never be really relaxed without it

This is mandatory as a safety measure: the switch must be placed out of reach of the shower or bath to avoid touching it when you are in the water.

This is usual when the whole building is brand new and you are BUYING the apartment. So you can decide what kind of kitchen do you like. I can imagine that sometimes this might happen with some long-term rent, like 10+ years. Otherwise no one will rent a flat without kitchen.

As a Brit living in Germany, I feel this in the feelies. Absolutely takes some getting used to. But now I like it!

And nary a ceiling fan.

Or maybe running the AC all the time, even if you are not home, is a waste of energy? Also, you get used to the heat a little bit, but only if you actually experience the heat.

Germans are very curious about other people. It takes a while to get used to the staring! (Speaking as a Brit who is now a Brit/German). It's nothing personal, they are just curious. I like to be considered interesting enough!

Restaurants will charge for bottled water. Tap water is free.

It's mostly because of tradition. Apart from that, they serve no real purpose, indeed.

What?
