The Tube Map In German
By Pete, Chris, Kate, David, Alison, Petra, and others
The
result of a drinking game at David and Petra's wedding in Auernhofen,
Bavaria, in 1999. Translate a tube station name into German, in
the most wilfully unhelpful way you can.
Winner was probably David,
who found the masterpiece "Aus Bier gemacht" (Maida Vale). Close
runner up was Chris with "Opel" (Vauxhall). Germans who remember
Euro '96 tend to like "Elfmeterfehler" (literally "Penalty Misser", or
Southgate). My personal fave is perhaps "Koenig aergert
sich/Sankt Bauchspeicheldruese", literally "King is annoyed/ Saint
Pancreas".
