Badgeman today, presenting Rooney's girlfriend with a distinguished service bouquet:

What a time to be alive. My reign has ended before it even began

Did @Piedro or one of his mates once throw badge man's hat in a river?!

Correct, in Dortmund.

Wasnt me by the way, it was a lad I used to work with. I wouldnt do anything like that, Fucking arlarse.

My Father-in-law's sister was married to an Austrian chap (who died recently). One night, after much schnapps, 'Otto' invited him down to his cellar (always with the cellars). He proudly revealed a room full of 'memorabilia', with flags, banners, non-decomissioned WWII weaponry and other militaria of a National Socialist variety bedecking the walls. My Father-in-law said he sobered up immediately, and nervously withdrew as soon as he politely could, whilst maintaining an outward posture he hoped did not reveal his shock at Otto's Nazi shrine.

There even is a documentary which is called 'Im Keller' ('In the Cellar') which is about what sort of stuff is going on in Austrian cellars. Some (un-)surprising insight right there, I can highly recommend it.

Exactly what I was about to suggest. Some of the storylines (like the one with the 'babies') are staged but it's still a fascinating film

When my granddad died we cleaned his house and found some old boxes in the cellar. One of them also contained some pins and badges - I'm unsure whether it would be legal to possess let alone sell such 'memorabilia'....

So I'm afraid I can't help.

Holle Hitler?

How did the badge get away with murder?

He pinned it on someone else.

Soz.

There was another incident which I so wish I'd seen first-hand. Someone asked Badgeman for a picture. By this time, this kind of request was just run of the mill for badgeman, so he said, 'Yeah, course'. So he stands there posing, while the other bloke's kid slips in behind him and crouches down, school yard style, then someone pushes badgeman backwards and over he goes, captured in mid-fall. Practically knocked himself out with his badges crashing into his face. That happened a few times. I think that's why he finally toned to down.

He managed to enrage the most mild-mannered of fans. Dave Usher is pretty placid, but he had to be held back after one final when Badgeman 'suggested' he wasn't being sufficiently positive about the defeat.

Then I think Blue Kipper did him up like, er, a kipper, by posing as some LFC fans site requesting an interview to include alongside such legends as Thommo and Carra etc. He took the bait of course and that transcript went all over the place.

Hahaha. Good old grandad Heinrich

Rudolf was his name.

RUDOLF!

 

[Holle]

Does an Iron Cross count as a pin badge?

I guess so.

 

[Holle]

A ginger Nazi......

RUDOLF!

Was he a Liverpool fan and does he understand falling precipitation ? 🙂

 

[Ukrainian by marriage]

'cos I've heard that Rudolph the red knows rain, dear ...

Does your Ukrainian wife know that you refer to the grandson of a Nazi memorabilia collector as "dear".

This could get messy

He's right though. I'm a lovely person.

Quite. Her grandad fought at Stalingrad.

I gave a talk in a school though, where my wife's friend teaches, located in Stephan Bandera Avenue. Considered a nazi collaborator or a great patriot, depending on who you talk to.

I haven't really got my head around Ukrainian politics - as everywhere, those in power are pretty corrupt. But ordinary people can still shock me with extreme unthinking/automatic/learned racist or fascist statements.

There's just way too much Ukrainian stuff in here!!
