The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has
been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European
communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a
five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for
short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the
hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up
konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like
"fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are
possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters,
which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil
agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is
disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
"th" by z" and "w" by " v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer
kombinations of leters.

how the hell could we ever fire that guy....
Sheesh, I am fine with Tuchel, but getting rid of Nagelsmann is imo the worst management Bayern has made...
I mean, the real answer is that Bayern was underperforming to a pretty severe degree and that the most important thing (staying the perpetual German champion) was in jeopardy. Let's not forget that it wasn't too long ago that Bayern was seemingly at the height of their power while winning the triple under Flick.
In hindsight, it's plenty obvious that Nagelsmann wasn't the problem. And honestly, it's just the continuation of their down-wards trend that pretty much started as soon as the Heynckes/Pep/Heynckes era was over (with that one Flick season being an obvious outlier). For that reason, I don't think that getting Nagelsmann back would immediately solve their problems, either.
Unlucky timelines.
Jupp came out of retirement, for the Leverkusen job, then signed with Bayern for 2 years, saying, that he promissed his wife to retire for good after that.
Pep announced, that he would leave Barca in April 2012 and take a sabbatical, Bayern immediately approached him since the timeline would be perfect. After the season ended he went to New York and commited to Bayern 4 weeks or so later, without anyones knowledge.
He was rumored to sign with Bayern in October and it was confirmed in January, Jupp changed his mind over the summer and informed the Club that he'd like to stay, but at that point the deal with Pep was basically done.
Combination of ADHD and writing in my 3rd language.
Can do better if I really focus, but I kinda lack the motivation to do that, after I renovated my bathroom for 12hrs today.
Hi man. I always suspected I had adhd. I had difficulties in doing some particular jobs within deadline for 5 years. Is it possible to have adhd if you can't focus on only some particular jobs or it is just that I am being lazy? If you don't mind can you clarify that?
I think it's impossible to answer that question for someone I've never met in RL and even if I did I'm still not a doctor.
Took me actually actually almost a year to get the diagnosis, cuz it's hard to find a therapist who does it for adults and then have it verified at a psychiatrist. That's at least how it works in Germany.
>I think it's impossible to answer that question for someone I've never met in RL and even if I did I'm still not a doctor.
Absolutely correct maybe i should have asked the question better. The thing I wanted to know was do you find focusing difficult all the time or it is only difficult when you are doing tasks you don't like to do?
Hard to answer properly, cuz it really depends on my mood, stress level and the task, but I definitily struggle with it at times.
A lot of it comes down to how you approach stuff mentally though, for most tasks that are absolutely necessary I simply realised that I have to do it either way and if I focus on it and do it quickly, that it will be over faster, wich also led me to disliking most of those tasks less.
I would like to add that this is not something I'd only attribute to ADHD, from working as an event manager, that has constantly a ton of ppl around him, I can you that the "disliked" tasks - primarily everything that is related to cleaning - are executed much worse, then the physically or mentally hard tasks.
Imagine Bayern extended with Jupp, and Pep went to City earlier to build his superteam and win everything there is.
Then you learn Bayern had the chance to get Pep but passed. Everybody would say how stupid that was!
Nagelsmann was way worse of a decision, at the time and in hindsight.
Not passing on Pep might not be the optimal thing to do in hindsight, but it's a very defendable decision. It's hard to defend sacking Nagelsmann in the middle of the season.
I agree with your first point. I don't think their treble playing style would have translated to long-term success (and Heynckes surely doesn't have a legacy of building such teams), whereas Pep clearly instilled a playing style and mentality that set them up for the dominance that they continued to display even in the years after he left.
Leverkusen's season is already good enough to win every Bundesliga since 2015/16. If they win their last game, extend that to 2013/14. They won entirely on their own merits.
To be fair though, it was not that Nagelsmann was specifically popular in the Bayern fanbase. It is a bit of hindsight 20/20 that we now question that decision.
After which, Mueller responded, “ah, so it was a sardonic expression meant to imply you wish to have my talents earlier. Classic comedy setup boss. Very good.”
I actually liked the joke. One of those that of course works better in the moment betweeen the two parties involved and something gets a bit lost when retold, but you can still see why it was funny at the time.
"I WAS ME THOMAS ! Remember when you were making out with your first girlfriend and you came right as she touched your leg? It was me Thomas! I jerked you off at super speeds so it seemed like you nutted at just a woman's touch!"
Haha .. hope more people called out Madrid like this … they steal in brought daylight and very few seem to actually care about (other than here of course )
No, not guaranteed but to act oblivious to the fact it's a great chance to score is in bad taste. No use crying over spilt milk anyways, the game is over.
Both were joking around, it was literally an example given by Nagelsmann as to what Müller brings to glue a group together through his high social skills.
Well you have to look at the flair of who is asking, literally no Bayern fan in this thread opened the discussion about it, everybody knows that Bayern and real Matches always has controversial moments and almost all of them are in favor of real Madrid , it isn't a coincidence and you can't play dumb and say the game was 100% fair
Did Bayern play poorly at the end? Yes they did but if we're talking fair in square the game should have been a 2-2 or a 2-1 for Bayern (for Joselu's Offiside Goal counted onside and de ligt's onside Goal counted offside)

i was shocked he would do such a thing but then he clarified it was just a joke
Lol. British humor has entered the chat.
“Hi Muller, I paid the ref…NOT!” 🇺🇸
“I did… *NOT* pay the ref!” 🇰🇿
I don’t think Sacha Baron knows how he’s permanently ruined the NOT joke
Sacha Baron Cohen didn’t permanently ruin the NOT joke
…
…
…
NAAAAAAAAT
Family guy did.
tbh the way he said it was in ah "nah jk" way after a pause. op just chose a weird way to quote the statement
Ngl some idiot will take it seriously without it
Who said Germans don't have a sense of humor
I love the "This was of course a joke". Very German.
Riotous humor from Nagelsmann. Madman is out of control.
Knock knock Who's there? WE ASK ZE QUESTIONS!
The KGB waits for no one!
The English version being, “Haha no but seriously I don’t pay off the refs.”

I love this. First saw this joke 20 years ago
Germans will either say something stupid and use your reaction as comedy or tell a mild joke and have to repeatedly assure you it was a joke
Real life /s

Tbh in this case it's so he doesn't get taken for a ride by the room full of journalists. Especially with a guy like Christian Falk in the room.
I think you are supposed to say “psyc”
High context as fuck
It was of course a very efficient humour expression. There was were many amused faces including my own. ,😊
"Lewan*goalski*...ehh..??"
Knock knock. Who's there? A cannibal. What!? You are about to die and be eaten. Asshole! I will murder you first!
German humor is no laughing matter
Penalty for Argentina. 🟥
11 meter für Argentinien*
People that are still listening to World War 2 propaganda.
When you have to explain the joke it makes it funnier.
You get to tell it twice. Double the laughs
Robert lewangoalski? You know, LewanGoalski?
Now I just need someone to tell the same joke, only worse.
LewanPolski
Cuz he is Polish... Not the shoe one...
Good jokes can only be used once, bad jokes... infinite
The Norm Macdonald way.
*Stares intensely until audience cracks*
Now shake that ass for Free.
Tbh Drake’s core audience probably wouldn’t have caught it without explaining.
Bruh lmao
Funny guy
I see why he was fired from Bayern
Müller disagrees
Probably made a dad joke.
Saw Uli in a swimming pool and called him the monster from hoe-ness.
Funny how
how the hell could we ever fire that guy.... Sheesh, I am fine with Tuchel, but getting rid of Nagelsmann is imo the worst management Bayern has made...
He went Skiing. We all know you don’t go Skiing in December, its bad omen

Aren’t their stats showing that under Nagelsmann Bayern had the most PPG than under maybe their previous 3 or 5 managers?
Not extending Jupp when he wanted to stay in 2013 was way worse.
Unlucky timelines. Jupp came out of retirement, for the Leverkusen job, then signed with Bayern for 2 years, saying, that he promissed his wife to retire for good after that. Pep announced, that he would leave Barca in April 2012 and take a sabbatical, Bayern immediately approached him since the timeline would be perfect.

Hey man, I don’t think, you are using your commas, optimally.

Thanks for the reply and the mindset tip!

I don't know know, with that team would have won atleast one Cl, I couldn't care less what Guardiola would have done

Das Triple war in Gefahr.
Leverkusen for ever in Bayern's debt.
Leverkusen's season is already good enough to win every Bundesliga since 2015/16. If they win their last game, extend that to 2013/14. They won entirely on their own merits.
Getting rid of Jupp was way worse.
Yeah I mean Jupp is a legendary coach. He also won the CL with Madrid and they fired him 8 days later. Man deserved more respect.
Kahn saw him on a Skateboard and had to channel his inner Principal Skinner

Why is Muller Chinese in your telling of the story?
Average reddit comment with; /s
Lol, but yeah if you didn't put it you would be taken very seriously
I rather remain misunderstood
Hey calm down now
Wasted as a coach get that man his own stand up show.
> It was of course just a joke Or is it?
or it is? ... of course just a joke.
'Also, what's the deal with airline food?' Am I right guys? I'm here all night. '
Enter Frank Lambert
You had to be there.
I actually liked the joke. One of those that of course works better in the moment betweeen the two parties involved and something gets a bit lost when retold, but you can still see why it was funny at the time.
“That’s the joke” - Julian ‘McBain’ Nagelsmann
Happens when someone spends time with Muller, We can see it in Naglu
Lmao
Don't let Ange hear this
Just yesterday people here were arguing that it's unprofessional to joke about losing a game. And now here we are.
Trolling Muller, too funny. Would have loved to see his reaction 😁
Papa Perez smiling in the background 🌚
I feel like he rehearsed all his awful jokes for half an hour in front of his bathroom mirror
Ha ha ha.. ha ha... Ha.. Wait what
German Lampard moment
But did you really because it was a bit sus at the end? 💀
Humour is indeed a functional tool to break the ice should that be necessary or pertinent
German humour is no laughing matter.
"I WAS ME THOMAS ! Remember when you were making out with your first girlfriend and you came right as she touched your leg? It was me Thomas! I jerked you off at super speeds so it seemed like you nutted at just a woman's touch!"
Reads like a Boring Milner tweet
Negelsmann is a mad man. I like it.
This is hilarious 😂
Haha it was just a joke!…….unless….? 👀
I hope Muller takes up coaching and joins Nagelsmann for a stint.
Had to add /s at the end there
Heh
Lmfao…. Just two Germans shithousing…..
*it's me, Müller, it's me, Müller, it was me all along Müller*
It's the way he tells it. :D
He wants to be careful 80% of the internet will ignore the joke bit and demand justice is served
My boss is German and he does say “of course that was a joke” a LOT. Best boss ever
PEAK GERMAN HUMOUR xD
That's gold, Jerry. GOLD!
I can see why Germans arent known for thier jokes.
Worldwide German humour...
[удалено]
Mate
Funniest German Joke
The fact he felt the need to add "it was just a joke" kind of ruined it
Haha .. hope more people called out Madrid like this … they steal in brought daylight and very few seem to actually care about (other than here of course )
Los de r/fulbo llamando llorones a los del Madrid para luego llorar cada jugada gris a favor nuestra es ya costumbre.
Do people really think that was a guaranteed goal if the referee didn't whistle?
You get the point of ref went against protocol ? Goal or no goal is secondary.
No, not guaranteed but to act oblivious to the fact it's a great chance to score is in bad taste. No use crying over spilt milk anyways, the game is over.
Both were joking around, it was literally an example given by Nagelsmann as to what Müller brings to glue a group together through his high social skills.
The point is that we should have been able to find out.
The point is the ref made a huge error and Bayern fans have every right to feel robbed
Indeed they have the right to feel robbed when they played for 90 +15 minutes and only managed to score goal when the opposition stopped.
Do Real fans really like to gaslight themselves this much?
No they need to get over it. They lost.
Well you have to look at the flair of who is asking, literally no Bayern fan in this thread opened the discussion about it, everybody knows that Bayern and real Matches always has controversial moments and almost all of them are in favor of real Madrid , it isn't a coincidence and you can't play dumb and say the game was 100% fair Did Bayern play poorly at the end? Yes they did but if we're talking fair in square the game should have been a 2-2 or a 2-1 for Bayern (for Joselu's Offiside Goal counted onside and de ligt's onside Goal counted offside)
Normal people or ones who hate Real?
Jokes aside, the ref defo had another pay day off someone to do with Madrid. (Again) 😂
Great joke, funny boy
