Yer mates, sure.

But.. I remember when "I've been looking for Friedhelm" akshully came out. Hasslechen was greeted in germany like a fucking homecoming messiah. Alfred Biolek show. WDR 2. 1986? "Dieser wundersch?ner Mann.."

I fink Dave's a great sport though. Saw him once on Graham Norton show laughing about how we was off to Germany next day.

And anyway. That song ROCKS!

I think you'll find that it was 1989,as he sung it on the Berlin wall just before they started ripping it down.....

I stand corrected mate. 1989 it was.

It was an experience at the Duisburger Strassenvehrkersamt that made me flee the place eventually swearing never to return. I'll save that sorry story for the Tribal Gathering in Amsterdam next Easter.

Are we all still up for that? Or shall we go to Sydney instead?

Bollox to sidney....I won't make that...Most of us are Europe based anyway!
