The Scorpions???
Isn’t it enough that these mouth breathers are a putrifying stain upon every land that they inhabit but they also must come up with completely unoriginal names for the packs in which they run?
How about “The Saracens”, or “Yersinia Pestis”, or even better and more anti-social “The Putins”?
I think the “Transsexual Negro Pederasts” would be more inclusive.
As you recall “Private Eye” from your time in the UK, Baron, you may remember the satirical TV programmes (“That Was the Week, That Was”, etc) involving David Frost, but I think it was in “The Frost Report” that he gave us the tabloid headline which had everything (in 1970s terms): “Teenage Priest in Sex Change Mercy Dash to Palace”.
If only I could recall more recent stuff so clearly!
Oh yes, I remember TW3 quite well. Frost went on to do an American version of it, if I recall correctly.
There were quite a few British television programmes that were ported over to the USA. “Steptoe and Son” became “Sanford and Son”, and “Till Death Us Do Part” became “All in the Family”, just to name two that I remember. The American versions were always watered down from the originals, not nearly so acerbic and trenchant (some might say harsh). Back in those days British comedy was the best; witness Monty Python’s enduring legacy.
Sadly, it’s gone downhill since; too “woke”, of course, but also unnecessarily cruel, like “reality” shows.
Back in the 1990, shortly after the fall of the wall a lot of people travelled to Eastern Germany and bougght AK-47 from russian soldiers.
If you ask me if I regret not doing something, yes I do…
