The man complained to a court in Munich that he had been discriminated against when the sunlounger he had used for the majority of his stay at a hotel in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh was allocated to another tourist.

But the court ruled as the sunbed was hotel property, the resort could give it to whoever they liked.

The compensation bid for loss of sunbed formed part of wider legal complaint by the German tourist.

He had originally taken the holiday firm to court after he was subjected to a stage show at his hotel featuring goose-stepping Nazis giving the Hitler salute.

Th unnamed tourist claimed that the show had discriminated against Germans and made him feel unwelcome. He demanded 25 per cent of £616 cost of his holiday, plus an additional £450 in compensation for having his holiday ruined.

The sunbed incident occurred after the cabaret, and, the tourist argued, may have been linked to anti-German sentiment fostered by the show.

But his bid for significant compensation failed, when the court ordered the holiday firm to pay him a token amount of £30.

Who said the germans don't have a sense of humour.

And there was me thinking the Arabs liked the Germans for sharing their views on how to deal with the Jewish problem.

You live and learn.

That's actually the only serious comment I've made in this thread. The Catholic church were big mates with the Arabs in WWII as well.

I think I would have sued too since I would want more current material.

Please tell me the jukebox didn't have the Ink Spots.

I wonder who German Comics make fun of? Cant be Jew's, Poles, Russians, French Dutch, Italians, Blacks? We all know Germans aren't funny. Must be a very short set!

Hope he had great big lawyers fees. What a dork!

I dunno, I thought the German video was quite amusing.

Ya, worth a green. Didn't get that far. Miss that stuff in the colonies, Canada is usually very correct apart from making fun of the Yanks.

Are up early or late? I know I am going to regret this but why was the Catholic Church friends with the Arabs in WW2

Justin b is a self centered typical teenage multi millionaire who has most women under the age of 20 wishing to be his play thing, To say nothing of dating another multi millionaire drop dead gorgeous teenage goddess. So Harry why would you think bad things of such a Canadian Idol. O shit you don't think he is Social!!!!!

I think we'll let Adolf answer this question.

“The Catholic Church considered the Jews pestilent for fifteen hundred years, put them in ghettos, etc, because it recognized the Jews for what they were… I recognize the representatives of this race as pestilent for the state and for the church and perhaps I am thereby doing Christianity a great service by pushing them out of schools and public functions.” -Hitler, 1933

Cardinal Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli (later to become Pope Pius XII) signs the Concordat between Nazi Germany and the Vatican at a formal ceremony in Rome on 20 July 1933. Nazi Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen sits at the left, Pacelli in the middle, and the Rudolf Buttmann sits at the right. The Concordat effectively legitimized Hitler and the Nazi government to the eyes of Catholicism, Christianity, and the world.

And some more Catholic merriment:

The Pope must haved laughed at Hitlers jokes, just the rest of the world that didn't get the punchline.

Now that's what you call Thread Drift.
