What are you insinuating? No I didn't.

That British Soccer Fan's don't appreciate a good cocktail or cocktail bar.

Why British? Doesn't Germany have soccer fans? Why the casual racism?

Hey, I'm curious here because I just posted a photo that amused me of a guy looking like he'd had half a dozen too many. No mention was made of his nationality as it's irrelevant even if I knew. People get drunk and paw at breasts the world round every night. He's one guy, not everyone in the bar nor a representative of the German drinking nation.

So why mention British football fans? What's that about? What's the relevance?

If a Canadian posted a photo of some drunk guy at the Tonga Room, wouldn't it seem weird and offensive if someone from San Francisco posted back that it must be a Canadian hockey fan?

When someone posts 'No offense, but...." you get the feeling that they actually are trying to offend, but I'm unsure whether it's me, Brits or British football fans that should feel offended. I'm perplexed by this whole thing as Kaiserstyle has been very friendly towards me up to now. Hell, perhaps there's a big problem with British fans going over to Berlin and getting drunk and breast-squeezing that I don't know about. Maybe it was a joke I missed, but it would be nice to have some sort of explanation.
