Germans are Weird

by Phil Cooper

I’m not a great lover of Europe or the EU. Pardon my politics but the EU seems to favour France and Germany. I feel sorry for the Mediterranean countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece. Greece has become a “basket case” since Germany “saved” its economy. I hate to wonder how Greece will pay them back. I think Spain is a country which has benefitted from the EU because I remember going to Lloret de Mar each year for our holidays back in the late 60s/early 70s when you could still see wagons being pulled by donkeys – don’t get me started about cruelty of donkeys.

More recently we’ve holidayed in Javea on the Costa Blanca just south of Valencia regularly for the past 8 years. It’s a great place for a holiday. There are no tall buildings. The weather is always “scorchio” and there’s lots to do. But I noticed that there are now no farmers using donkeys anymore. All the farmers and everybody else drive round in 4x4s.

Bearing in mind that it’s just up the coast from Benidorm you would be positively surprised that Javea (Xabia) is such a peaceful place. I recommend a visit to Valencia which is a beautiful city. However, you must take a train from Denia, just up the coast. Spanish rail fares are not expensive.

OK after that, I’ll get back on track. I was speaking about the Germans. They are weird! And kinky!

Their model train suppliers make and sell figures of beach people including topless women. Why? I’ll tell you. They’re weird. German company Faller offer tiny nude bathers and nude artist’s models. Proving they’re not sexist they also sell male nudes. Busch sell model sex shops for you to construct.

Another German company, Busch, also sell “Naked man chasing Perky Pig Action set”. Luckily the naked man appears to be some distance behind poor old Percy Pig although as an action kit you may be able to position “naked man” up close to Percy Pig’s posterior if you really want to.

Also, from Busch you can get a “Naked Hiking Action Set” which features a naked man and woman looking at a map. They do like their action sets in Germany. I assumed they’re looking for decent dogging sites!

Another set is the “Naked Chef BBQ set”. Yes, it’s action again! And I assume that it isn’t Perky Pig on the BBQ.

There’re more “action” sets such as the “Dairy Cow Action Set.” I imagine quite a few people might be interested in that and it may be interesting to swap the figures. For instance the figures of the Dairy Cow set mixed with the naked hiking scene could be interesting.

There is also a “Cucumber Picking Set” which you could mix in with any of the above. I’ll leave you to think about all the possibilities.

Just one more and this is in the best possible taste (if you’re a German). And this is “the Peeing Dogs Set”.

My favourite was from Faller and is the “The Nuns (6) Figures Set. Now I could have a lot of fun with that set.
