A German stand-up playing in London?
Extraordinary, isn't it? (Also, just now, a TV satire show had a sketch in
Italian. ? !)
The back
translation was, "Titanic Boobs."
!!
Long may the series stay afloat
perhaps not long in Germany...

A German stand-up playing in London? Now I know the EEC works.
As an experiment in translation, I typed "prallen Mopsen" into google.
Now, of course, I'll get all kinds of spam offering to enlarge my
Weltmacht, but the price was worth it. The back translation was,
"Titanic Boobs."
Long may the series stay afloat.
