'20th' Berlin Wall Coverage Is Just A Good Excuse For Piss-Up, Discuss

Our entire panel of experts has gone over to Berlin for the last great journalistic excuse for a piss-up of the year.

They now report...

Harry Meedsden, Circus Artist

"20 years ago today I was sitting here reporting from this very exact same bar watching the Berlin Wall fall around me, down the street.

Today, as I sit here drinking, the atmosphere is exactly the same as back then, nothing much has changed at all in fact excepting that the bar bill is now in Euros and the 'chipping away at the wall' noises are dwarfed by the chattering of inebriated journalists boasting about the size of the piece of concrete they took back to their hotel rooms to sleep with on that night. Harry Meedsden, Berlin Wall, BBQ News."

Jerry Sprinkler, Radio Talk Show Host

"I am standing here next to a glass of chilled German beer. The bubbles are bubbling up from the bottom, the glass is clear and the brown beverage entices me to take that first perfectly cold sip. Jerry Sprinkler, Berlin Wall, CNBS News."

Hug Tharsden, Bodybuilder

"Here I am standing in 'Check Point Charlie Bar And Grill' with a pitcher of German beer in my left hand and a microphone in my right. I have absolutely no idea how I feel as my legs are numb and my head is spinning, pretty much like most of Berlin tonight feels as was also the case way back 20 years ago hence. This is Hug Tharsden, Berlin Wall, for CNNN."

Gramps Rusky, Organic Farmer

"Ez nezzerzerry te stunk eee? Neee szzznezzery, iz 1, iz 2, nat 3. Cammer barid rosizno ... uh... oh... ez zesisch barm. Granzz usky, RBS1 new zzzzzzzzz..."

Harry Baldicoot, Retired retirement consultant

"I am determined to at least get some Christmas shopping done on expenses while I'm here but all I have found so far in my size is a bright green mankini like Borat wore in his motion picture of the last few years ago. I might as well go and get pissed. Harry Baldicoot, Berlin Wall, Grumpy Old Man Magazine."
