    It's not as if I have a strong German accent like all the baddies we Brits play in US action films.
    Well I had to grunt and point at stuff to get some food ordered at a few places here...

    No worries--all in good fun. I would have used the adjective "cute" or "quaint" instead of "sweet." I would reserve the latter term for describing the RM's penchant for nekkid roll-mat fighting.

    Its a fair point , we both have civilian populations these days that not only aren't worth dying for , they're not worth permission to live.

    What say we orchestrate a Bi-National revolution, send all untermensch from both countries down into Mexico and we can crack on with world domination together ?

    Your grammar and pronunciation is going to need a bit of work though
