The Travel-Raging of A. A. Gill
March 27th, 2007 Posted in Of InterestTwo offensive classics from A. A. Gill, who writes like someone with tourette’s syndrome and a gift (and is apparently severely dyslexic and has to dictate his articles):
There are other little things which tell you that, although they may look like us, they syncopate to a different beat. They can’t walk in crowds, for instance, which is surprising because they’re so good at marching. Germans are constantly bumping into each other with barely restrained looks of fury; perhaps they’re just habituated to invading other people’s personal space. But then again they’ll stand for lengthy minutes with a bovine serenity at completely empty crossroads waiting for the little green man to tell them to cross.
