Berlin licence plate game
Being on holiday is supposed to get you out of your boring, everyday routine, and it certainly shakes things up in the licence plate game (an important part of your everyday routine, I'm sure). There are only so many funny licence plates that start with N, but B opens up a whole new world of three-to-five-letter words!
This car knows it's August, but thinks it feels more like November. And yet they keep talking about global warming!
And this van wants you to know it'll be back in just a second. Don't go away! It still wants to chat! It just needs to grab something to eat!

Skyrocketing levels of maturity
Remember a while back when I said that I wanted to find a very specific licence plate and that I would not rest until my mission was accomplished? Well, I found it I found it I found it! Months* of hard work** were rewarded when I came across this masterpiece of German engineering***, just sitting there as though it wasn't the answer to all my prayers.
Enhance.
Ladies and gentlemen, my work here is done.
* weeks
** looking at licence plates
*** I have no idea what kind of car this is

Lolcar
Bet you thought I just misspelled lolcat, eh? WRONG.
The licence plate game is more fun in Germany, because every city and halfway-decent-sized town has its own letter(s) and then they just throw some more letters in there for fun. Nuremberg's letter is, creatively, 'N'. Fürth, a few kilometres from Nuremberg, has FÜ and I'm just waiting for the day when I see FÜ CK 293. Apparently they're out there, so if I don't stumble across one soon I might have to get on my bike and track one down.
Fun fact: Although FÜ CK is apparently just fine, there are banned licence plate combinations, most of which have to do with the Nazis (shocker). NS (national socialism) is banned, as are SS, SA, HJ (Hitler Youth), KZ (concentration camp), HE IL, and IZ AN (Nazi backwards).
P.S. Please do stay tuned for German lolcats.
