A true story in the Orcs House.

[Orcs]

Mrs Orcs is currently writing training material for a 2 day Volkswagen Group convention

Part of this is to extol the virtues of original spare parts to the independent dealerships.

One of the exercise's required 5 fictitious dealerships.  Mrs Orcs had come up with 4 names and asked me to help with the fifth.

Orcs : How about "Goebbels Servicing, Herman Goering Cars"  

Mrs Orcs:  They sound very German

Orcs: (trying desperately not to laugh) "It is a German company after all"

Mrs Orcs " Yes I suppose so" Whick one do you think is best?

Orcs: Actually a better one might be Von Manstiens Vehicle Division" ( Orcs is now visibly squirming in an effort not to wet himself laughing)

Mrs Orcs " I think I prefer the first one "  Pause while Mrs Orcs updates her notes.  " What on earth is the matter with you? (Orcs is now crying with  laughter).

Mrs Orcs (Now highly suspicious)Where did you get these names ?

Orcs:  Gives full explanation between laughs

Mrs Orcs :  HMMPPPHHH!!!!!  I think you need to go and make me a tea- you could have caused a diplomatic incident. (Orcs retreats to Kitchen still sniggering)

Mrs Orcs insists that I sleep in our room. She does not like the idea of us sleeping in separate rooms no matter how cross we are with each other.

I mentioned the war but I think I got away with it!

I'd have gone for "Kubel Kars".

That's absolutely correct.  I get up to all sorts of things left on my own .

What was that quote Clarkson said a few years back, when describing German auto mobile efficiency?

"Berlin to Warsaw in one tank!"

You've got to give it to him, mind. It is a catchy ad' line.

That was the VW ad the TG boys came up with in one segment.  Complete with panicking Polish people.

Apparently it wasn't popular...

[Leman]

How did that man last so long?

[Last Hussar]

Orcs?  I assume he uses anaesthetic down there.
