Just to explain the bizarre thing. One example:
Sitting in a pub in Essen(sp?) minding my own business waiting for a few friends and then i can sense someone has sat at the bar next to me.
What his opening line?
Do you want to beat me?

(I guess you could meet this sick kind of people anywhere. When I was in Scarborough, one guy of my language course was beaten up right in the middle of a busy street at night because he had said something in German...) |

So you had the bad luck of meeting one of the many thousands of horrible Germans. They exist, too, of course... I meet one every week, at least. But honestly, there are violent English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish/American/Italian/French...whatever...people, too... |

He wasnt being violent. He just assumed as i was British i would want to hit him.
But seriously why on earth would you choose those words to be the first thing you say to a complete stranger? |
