I never could forgive him for putting his word above the laws of the land.
 
As a matter of fact, I never liked Kohl. But nevertheless, he and the grey, motionless monotony of mid-90s German politics is what shaped me as a political being. Schr?der might be my favorite chancellor, but Kohl is the politician that shaped my upbringing. I can still name more people from Kohl's last government than from the current roster.

Can you imagine we had a mail minister? His name was Schwarz-Schilling!

My death pool this year was a straight Babylon 5 ticket, after Jerry Doyle died last year. The curse is fucking real.

EDIT:
The first Paddington Bear stuffed toy to be manufactured was created in 1972 by Gabrielle Designs, a small business run by Shirley and Eddie Clarkson, with the prototype made as a Christmas present for their children Joanna and Jeremy Clarkson (who later became a well-known British TV presenter and writer). Shirley Clarkson dressed the stuffed bear in Wellington boots to help it stand upright. (Paddington received Wellingtons for Christmas in Paddington Marches On, 1964.) The earliest bears wore small children's boots manufactured by Dunlop Rubber until production could not meet demand. Gabrielle Designs then produced their own boots with paw prints moulded into the soles.
