Really ? My comment was about a particular character, who by his very own comments shows leanings & attributes of a labour unionist (that being the gist of my comment with just a hint of humour)

Yes you can (assume), as that seems to be the view of some Brits to the German populace. Having lived here for a few years I've met quite a few Germans all with a variety of viewpoints & attitudes, but I choose who I associate with.

Re: The end of REM
Quite liked REM but preferred Miracle Legion, who were often compared to them at the time.

REM have decided to call it a day after 31 years, I have to say I liked some of their stuff but didn't actually buy any of the albums
It was 2005 they were on in Hyde Park and I accidently got caught up outside the gig with my girlfriend in the park - heard all their hits and for some bizzare reason all the main roads were blocked off and there was no traffic running down Park lane - was like the city shut down!

Re: The end of REM
A true indie band from start to finish, even in stadiums. They leave an important fingerprint on the world of music and I'm sure we won't see the end of their individual endeavours just yet.
