Re: OT - Decerebrate Turnip

[Larry Levy]

There is a town in Southern Germany called, Wank.

JFK got gently laughed at for his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" line. (In
German a Berliner is a doughnut.)

It's a pity (insert name of least favourite politician here) doesn't go to
Wank and tell the world what they already know.

Peter

 Actually, it's a jelly-filled doughnut. Usually very good, too.

speech)

Isn't that the stuff you have with strawberry juice? I used to drink that
stuff in summer in Berlin. A fine light lager with a dash of strawberry.

Not at all. I used to live in the USA and have a great respect for the people.

No point in letting this thread degenerate into a nationalistic slanging

Cotty,

Do you think we should introduce our former colonial brethren on the list to
Father Ted?

It would establish "feck" in it's rightful place in the pantheon of useful
words.

"Hippie" is the correct spelling.
"Hippy" refers to a girl with bid hips.

This relates to one of my minor worries:  aliens will come to Earth, meet
rednecks, and decide to disinfect the planet, to avoid spreading a redneck
infection throughout the galaxy.

I don't lose sleep over this, but it does sound logical.

Unseasonally warm and raining - so we are right in the s**t when it all
freezes up tomorrow.  Got a friend who is so worried, he is breaking
his journey to Scotland here tomorrow just to see what develops.

I would dearly love to be a member of the "anti-Feckwit Division of the
Intergalactic Ebay Council" if I get to play with a battlecruiser!  Poor
acronym, though.

Mike, it was buried within an EOS thread on DPReview - the reference was
posted here about an auction for *knowledge of* a web dealer offering
300Ds cheap (and probably nasty).

Any snow up there in the NE yet??

Aaaargh! The ghost of Christmas past!

Back in the early 80s when I had a Yamaha RD350LC, which was awaiting parts
at a dealer, I bought one of those horrid contraptions as it was cheap and
was better than the train to commute whilst bikeless. It looks like it rides
and it is easer and quicker to change the engine, than to change the oil
(seriously).

I sold it for more than I bought it. I had it for three very, very long
weeks. I don't feel well now :-( Horrid thing.
