Herman the German 

A harmless old fella, who bides his time by pottering along on his bike in a travelleresque manner. He is often seen in the town of Consett and nearby areas, riding along the road, with his telltale sign of indicating by flailing his arms about. But most of all, he can be recognized by his unique hat with a tufted duck feather pointing out the top.

All the information gathered about Herman is from rare encounters he has with the public. From public knowledge and my own experience, he spent some time in Munich before arriving to England by ship. He can be most commonly seen on the Derwent walk as he routinely rides along the eoute.

Alas, with many hero stories they have their sceptics. A rumor has arised that he isn't German but was infact born in Shotley Hospital.
I've just had to give Herman the German some change because he was trapped in Aldi.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
