I was 'randomly selected' for a patdown right before boarding my flight home at Charles De Gaulle, . the mainly just felt me up extensively since it was super obvious there was nothing in my pants. then they swabbed my skin to test if i had residue of anything bad Old School

i got singled out for an extensive patdown by the tsa. apparently my skin tight skinny jeans were suspicious and they thought i was hiding something in em... i barely have enough room for just me in there.

anyway im in germany now :)

That's weird, wouldn't it be MORE difficult to hide something in skinny jeans than it would be in baggy jeans? And nice, hope you have a pint or two while you're over there, haha

had a beer at a restaurant very close to my grandparent house. last time i was here, 8 years ago, i went to a bunch of fests or whatever with this girl who was the daughter of one of my moms friends. she was a waitress at this restaurant. we didnt recognize each other at first because last time i had long hair, and she is so much taller now Old School

I've only ever been to Germany once - Frankfurt to be precise.
It was a weekend trip to watch the European league of American Football
Frankfurt Galaxy -v- London Monarchs.

Dunno if that league is still in existence even, probably not. Anyway, it was an overnight coach from London and when we got to Frankfurt the next day everyone was exhausted (as you can imagine).

4 of us found a little Park and were sitting/laying on the grass resting quietly and two German Police came up to us and waved their guns and screamed at us that we were not welcome to sit in their Park.

Armed Police followed the small groups of London fans around town all day, moving them on even if they just stopped to look in a shop window. We were refused entry to the bars, refused service in shops and cafes and generally treated as though we had The Plague. They wouldn't even let us buy bottled water.

Spookily, I never bothered returning to Germany as a tourist.

northern germany is completely different than southern. ive never been north. not saying what happened to you was ok, cuz its never ok to treat an entire group bad based on what a few individuals do, but england is kinda known to riot after football games :s wouldnt be surprised if others were causing trouble and because of that they were going after everyone from england. still not ok

in the tiny town im in right now everyone is super friendly. not what id expect from europe Old School

Looks like the London Monarchs played in the now-defunct World League of American Football/NFL Europe and folded in 1998. You probably watched America's finest undrafted free agents run hallmarks of traditional offense such as Spider 2-Y Banana and the quadruple option.

We are actually sad. Everyone walks around with long faces and keep their heads down, Brexit caused tons of uncertainty, unemployment is still sky high, everything goes up in price and have you ever been to a Sports Direct shop before? If you go in one, take a look at the faces of the staff and you will know what I'm talking about. And I happen to come from Sussex.

Employment is at record highs I thought

And for fear of sounding like a snob no I've never been to a Sports Direct and I've no intention of ever setting foot inside one.

Errr, yeah. Probably. Maybe.
I just liked watching it and the crowd ambience was great fun.
It was a bit like Rugby with pom-poms.
Dedrick Dodge was good.
