The big question is would the Euro work for this country? The currency itself is fairly easy to understand and most people that holiday abroad from the UK
are used to using it.
But how would we cope with it and would it have a big impact, particularly on
industries , finances, and everyday costs. On a personal note I'd rather keep our good old english pounds and pences, but if the Euro helped to reduce our cost of living ,then okay.
We all have our opinions on this and have a right to have our say but there are alot of poeple out there that need convincing . The government must listen to the people first.

"The government must listen to the people first."
Which is the problem for Euro-supporters in the UK, AFAIK. Too bad for me - when I was in London, I really wondered how you cope with those weird coin designs. One Penny much larger than five pence etc. But the Pound did make the prices look much, much better!

In The Netherlands recent surveys have showed most people want our old currency, the guilder, back ASAP. Most people scream prices have gone up because of the euro.
My opinion is that the euro is after all better. Doing business with other euro-countries has become much easier and certain (no fluctuating exchange rates). Ok, prices may have risen some since it was introduced, but prices rise each year as with wages.
I find it funny that the currency is too strong now, because when it was introduced people were afraid it would become a weak currency. Of course it's not funny, euro-countries export more than they import (at least The Netherlands does, not so sure about other countries) and our products are becoming too expensive for other countries if the price of the euro keeps going up.
However I seriously believe the euro is now way overpriced and that it will become stable at its real value in the future.
I think the UK should become a member of euro-country-club. It will be easier to trade with other european countries and will encourage this to some extent I think.
I doubt however if it's ever going to happen, cause I think most britains stick to their traditions and things. Nothing wrong with that, I would love my country having some more traditions from the past (apart from the guilder )

The benefits of the Euro are mostly at a distance from the spender/voter. It makes cross-border trade easier, improves price transparency, &c...
I think that if you could wave a magic wand and change these benefits into cash that people could feel in their pockets, there would be a massive change from No to Yes votes, even though this makes the country no richer than before.

While I for one have noticed significant price inflation in both Ireland and France, I think it is a small price to pay for the associated benefits.

The british people (if given the chance) would reject the euro - which is why blair has not given us the chance. The swedes rejected it last year because they have similar concerns on its impact to the uk.
The eu of now is not the eec we voted to join in 1974 - nobody in the uk under the age of 48 has had a vote on europe and I am sure there are people who voted 'yes' in 1974 who would vote 'no' now.

While as an American TOURIST the Euro is really wonderful, it may not work too well for everyone else. It props up economies that are not too great while stealing from those that are doing OK. Is tourism important? Yes, somewhat. But bigger and better things are sitting right now. It is a noble idea but some economies are performing better than others and it is often hard to pull it all together.

Oh no, it's me alright. Besides, take a look at Klaus choking on his cornflakes this morning - he knows it's me alright.
The Euro is indeed a wonderful thing, bringing together a continent that has fought amongst itself for hundreds of years, allowing a group of nations in rude economic health to knacker their economies in the name of political progress, allowing everyone to laugh at the German economic woes, allowing me to go on holiday and realise how much all your prices have gone up (damn, I'm slipping, I knew I couldn't keep it up), um, um, um, ooh yes, marvellous. I want in! I want to be able to join this wonderful project that was born out of the economic realities of forty years ago, ah, ooh, bugger, I mean born out out of a genuine desire for unity.

146 Andreas: Unfortunately that doctor is a fake, so I'm afraid we'll have to wait just a few years longer...and I'm not sure if the remains of Adenauer could cope
147 Banco: Bonham was outstanding, yes, but outstanding in the manner of a schooled drummer. Moon was a complete one-off, playing it like a lead instrument, rath

154 Klaus: Andreas, you´re just trying to confuse the opposition. Give it up, already!
155 Andreas: Ok ok, *ggg* I give up, I'm going home anyway now..that was a very hard day for all Brits and Germans!!
156 Banco: The opposition? I thought we were now on the same side? Andreas, we have a traitor in our midst! Hunt him down, and deliver him for punishment. No dou

182 Andreas: PUSHUP!!! Good morning...I'm not yet prepared to let this thread die! Go on with your ravings, please!
183 Banco: Ravings? What are you talking about? You've got to do better than that. Come up with something mindblowing this morning.
184 Andreas: Well I had the brilliant idea to push this thread up to the top...your turn now!
185 Banco: How typical! Continentals expect us islanders to do all the work yet again. No doubt in a hundred years time they'll write a revisionist history detai

202 Banco: Arsenal, do you sit on here just waiting for that 100th/200th post to come along?

226 Andreas: Why yes thank you!! It took a lot of imagination yesterday, I can tell you that Good morning btw!

234 Banco: I don't dispute his ability - even if there is more than a nod to Mick Jagger there - it's just that he's so bloody ugly! And yet, the weird thing is

237 Banco: Wa-haaay! Open season on the Germans - that's more like it! (must be modern Germany though). Andreas, funny thing about the Stones, they're crap live.
238 Andreas: Kirkie, give some more comments on Germany like the one above, and...should we ever meet face to face, you'll find out that this mad cat bears a close
239 Banco: Middle aged? You cheeky bastard, I'm 31! I always loved the line from Blackadder Goes Forth, where Baldrick says: "I'm as English as Queen Victoria" "
240 Andreas: ROFLMFAO!!!!! Yes that is exactly what I meant! ...besides, YOU wanted to open season on us Germans...you should know beforehand what that could mean

252 Banco: True, Klaus. He usually comes in with no reason whatsoever. Kirkie, are you being picky because Scotland has a murder rate EIGHT TIMES that of England
253 Klaus: If that´s true, do you really think it´s smart to go on provoking him...?

273 Klaus: Good morning, everybody (if only barely ).
274 Banco: Yes, I've always liked Christopher Plummer. Strangely enough, one of his stand out performances came in such an unlikely place. Star Trek VI, where he

276 Banco: And there was your chance to get back at me, Klaus, and you blew it!
277 Klaus: I just dont jump on every cheap opportunity. No challenge in that!
278 Banco: I just dont jump on every cheap opportunity. No challenge in that! Really? Well, doesn't that show you just how you can misjudge a person...
279 Klaus: Well... there are irresistible bargains, once in a while...

281 Klaus: Yeah, even the finest bar brawl loses its appeal when it´s beginning to be done by the rules...

287 Andreas: The word Orcs comes to mind...don't why that may be so...
288 Klaus: Well, that´ll get you at least a few pity points!

290 Klaus: Banco: I can't think of that many nations less deserving of pity than us, Klaus. Oh, come on... you´re not that bad! Even you deserve a little pity!
291 Banco: Hang on a minute! You're the one that kept on about things being illogical. Besides, I think we all agreed on the Liv Tyler thing, didn't we?

294 Banco: Not a bit of it! Liv Tyler, Jolene Blalalaalalalalalalalalalok or whatever her name is, all with pointed ears, all gorgeous. You're just the exception
295 Klaus: Hmmmm... a fetish for unattainable, even ficticious females with pointed ears. What would Freud have said about that...?

312 Go Canada!: Are Bavarians for you like the irish for us? eg the butt of all jokes(before someone gest their knickers in a twist im half irish)
313 Klaus: Well, we´ve actually got two "fringe regions": Bavaria on the southern and Friesland on the northern "edge"; And the eastern frisians are the target
314 MD11Engineer: No, Bavarians are to us like the Scottish Highlanders to you, a bit wild, a bit strange. Do you know the jokes about the people from Co. Kerry in Irel

373 Banco: There's nothing wrong with my sanity I'll have you know. The hospital even gave me a certificate to prove it...
374 Klaus: You´re even certified...! How practical! Well, I have to concede that german football isn´t really all that inventive or elegant for the most time;
375 GKirk: Have to admit, the English Premier League is better than the German version. Even though it hurts me to say that
376 Paulc: I feel sorry for Bertie Vogts - he must get it from all sides.
377 Andreas: Am I dreaming??? You barely managed to keep this thread alive!! Well here I am, alive and kicking, another 2,500 miles on my account, nice sunny day i
378 Banco: Well I'm afraid I was out all day, so I have returned to find that without me, this thread is a mere shadow of its former self. I trust you are all no
379 Klaus: Hooray. At least your ego has survived intact, so far.
380 Banco: When it's obvious to everyone else, Klaus, sometimes I just have to accept the reality of my personal brilliance.
381 Klaus: Do you see that nail on the ceiling? Your ego will hit it any moment if you keep inflating it like that...
382 Andreas: Well...quite obviously he's just trying to be funny, and even worse, trying to copy ME, which of course will never work, there's a lot more than just
383 Banco: Thus, Andreas, you are apparently claiming a world first! The first occasion to date that an Englishman has copied a German when trying to funny. Now,
384 Andreas: In case I am involved: Probability is close to 105% Sorry pal, but a few other Brits had to find out the hard way, too: My collegues...but they seem t
385 Banco: Actually, that reminds me: When I was at university, the halls of residence I managed to wangle myself into for the last year (which were really a gro
386 GKirk: Stop the Germans stealing the sunbeds Both Germans and the English have the same amount of humour as the French......none
387 Banco: You must be kidding, Kirkie. We have to put up with you lot next to us, and the French across the channel. It's like living at 666 Beelzebub Avenue fo
388 Andreas: Hmmm, that sounds as if you were what we call the "class clown"...obviously a bit too much applause, somehow that got into your head..not healthy, rea
389 GKirk: Andreas, face it. When the Germans are on holiday they all go to bed at 7pm Thats the reason why they get up early and steal the sunbeds
390 Andreas: Make that 7am and you're close to reality! The Brits leave at 1am, completely shitfaced...the Scots are virtually non-existent because they are ashame
391 Banco: Do you remember that documentary Channel 4 put on a few years back about the behaviour of various groups of tourists? They filmed them all secretly, a
392 Andreas: Ah yes...your memory...Brits and shagging, that's a contradiction per se!!
393 GKirk: Germans = Soft, unsocial, weak drinkers English = Football Thugs French = Err...there French, enough said Welsh = Popular with the sheep Scots = Alcoh
394 Banco: Good Lord, I'll never ever want to spend my holidays in one of these places... Ah. Now you've hit the nail on the head! Me neither. But the one advant
395 Andreas: ROFLMFAO!!! just one thing, Kirk, and that is: Your classification of the Welsh is in Germany the classification of all Brits, there's even a word for
396 GKirk: Andreas: And we Brits call you Germans cheating sunbed stealing bastards
397 Andreas: Well if I had to chose, I'd rather be a stealing bastard
398 Banco: Actually, there's a lot worse than that that the Germans are called. Some people are downright nasty about them. A bit sad, really. Warning: Arsenal@L
399 Andreas: We can live with that...and I have even asked people here to go on a little German-bashing spree, but nothing so far...except sunbeds. Yesh well, look
400 Andreas: and 400...!!! Arsenal eat your heart out!
401 Banco: Re: 400. Good call, son. You know what they say, Andreas. The British are only polite to those they despise.
402 GKirk: Andreas: Och wheesht an stop gibberin on. What are ye talkin aboot? Make sense laddie
403 Andreas: That's why you can call us anything you want btw: Frederick Forsythe, in a TV interview, said something similar.
404 GKirk: I've got a feeling Andreas is an Englishman in disguise
405 Banco: As you can see from Kirkie's last post, language is a relatively recent development in Scotland, and has yet to be perfected...
406 Klaus: You´d still need something valuable to say, though, you know?
407 GKirk: Pretty funny to see how this topic has gone downhill since about post number 70
408 Andreas: Yes, maybe so, but you were a major part in this Kirkie!
409 GKirk: Im a team player. Unlike that vicious savage Klaus who hasnt got anybody on his Respected Users List
410 Banco: Ah yes. Klaus. We haven't bashed him for at least 20 posts. Time for another go.
411 Andreas: Yeah why not, but hey how about picking someone else? We could lure some poor bastard here in this thread and then bash him senseless! How's that soun
414 Banco: A fine idea, Andreas. How do we go about it? What we need is some humourless fool who we can wind up about all manner of things and chuckle away to ou
415 Pilot kaz: o my god guys, u have all got im in tears laffin here
417 Banco: Is he Welsh? We can all have a pop then!
418 Klaus: You go have a look... I wouldn´t know the difference!
419 Andreas: YESSSSS grab him, our PRECIOUSSSSSSSS!!! Let's bash him senseless...unfortunately he seems to understand the concept of humour, so maybe after all, he
420 Klaus: Do I see a case of Ring overdose, Andreas?
421 Banco: If he is Klaus, he'll be attached to a sheep. Easily identifiable. All we have to do then is stop Andreas running off with the sheep.
422 Andreas: How did you figure THAT out? But as you can see, I'm on my way to myself again...only a few words and back to reality...so I guess we'll bash YOU!
423 Klaus: Fantasizing about pointed ears, then about people doing it with sheep... Banco, I´m beginning to worry...
424 Andreas: I'll bring the poor animal right back home to you Banco Hey I've seen a few of you posting in other threads, well if you feel the urge to go astray, h
425 Banco: Just thought you were sounding a bit desperate, Andreas. Anyway, you've scared him off. Got to agree with Klaus though (WOW!!!!), you do seem to be su
426 Pilot kaz: hey hey i meant it was funny how u was sayin bout wot diff countrys are like lol, and another thing......... im not a him im a her
427 Andreas: OK, then welcome aboard, we could use a bit of fresh blood...too many English football-crazed males Please join us in our bashing orgy, just be carefu
428 Banco: Damn. A girl. That makes it more difficult. Glad you're enjoying it. Pick a country for us to have a go at, we're running out of ideas...
429 Andreas: Yes I'm quite sure girls make it more difficult for you How about English males...? I'd gladly join you there!!
430 Pilot kaz: lol dnt no wot 2 say hehe, dnt worrie i aint a fottie fan so i wouldnt worrie bout that, but i will say 3-1 get my drift??
431 Klaus: Welcome, indeed! Just don´t take the sudden outburst of good manners too seriously... It´ll pass!
432 Andreas: That sounds like an insider joke...what the hell is fottie??? Sounds like...no, I won't get into that right here and now... At least it's not another
433 Klaus: No... merely trans-thread, so to say... he popped up in the other Euro-thread recently. It seems we´ve scared him off...
434 Pilot kaz: footie:: aka FOOTBALL!! god im not gonna get in2 FOOTIE anyway, im not a fan
435 Banco: No, for God's sake don't get into football, it'll give Andreas another opportunity to drone on, in mind-numbing detail, about every German world cup w
436 Andreas: Ah, footie, allright, that I would have understood Now all the more reason to start bashing British males, they are all footie fans, they are all craz
437 Andreas: What have we done for you? Well lemme see: 1. Kicked your asses for good in Wembley several times...brought you back to senses! 2. Your Royals are par
438 GKirk: One thing the Germans have brought to the world: Deep pitched boring moaners aka Oliver Kahn and Michael Ballack :D
439 Pilot kaz: 2. Your Royals are partially German...and not a small part could b worse, they could have sum french in them lol, (oh god flash back of the film jonny
440 Banco: OK, if we're going to say what we've done for the Germans, war references have to be banned. It's too easy and has all been said before. We gave them
441 Pilot kaz: HA spice girls they can keep them lol, they gave us BMW lol
442 Andreas: Good morning Lady and Gentlemen! As I can see there's been the usual self-abuse Brits tend to indulge in whenever they are among themselves . So it is
444 Andreas: Yes I know that's why I keep you waiting...basically your list disqualifies itself, sort of a built-in self destruction mechanism ...which is the reas
445 Banco: No, it's called a sense of humour. Unfortunately we were never able to export one of those to Germany, no-one was interested.
446 GKirk: Herr Banco has floored das Germans with a knockout blow there
447 Andreas: Who'd be interested in second-hand humour...? Ok, for peace's sake (don't want to upstage you in front of English girls, now wouldn't I? ), let's go F
449 Andreas: Is this of relevance? And if you ask the French, they are not down...so let's put them down..Banco is probably already composing a nice anti-French pa
450 Klaus: I was thinking of the poor, downtrodden scots, not the french... But hurling silly insults at the global community might work, too...
451 Andreas: Yes you'll always find an idiot who takes it serious and starts yelling blue murder . But then the appearance of Kez does give hope...look at the age
452 Banco: It's pretty pointless me composing an anti-French pamphlet if you boys and girls then just ignore it! It merely stands as a beacon for satire in a Ger
453 Arsenal@LHR: A message to everyone on this pointless thread:
454 Andreas: oooooohhh...are we a little bit huffy right now? Do we feel misunderstood? Poor poor country boy...but you know, there are no French present, so maybe
455 Pilot kaz: OMG u gonna b in england, well my friend i would get ready to taste some nice tasting beer for a change, i would think alot better from the beer u dri

457 Pilot kaz: (NOT BASHING HERE) no i dont have my own set, i play at school, i am senior year which means i do alot of the main stuff lol, i play mostly rock tho,
458 Banco: Biting the hand that feeds you, Andreas?
459 Pilot kaz: hehe, lol see shows how much he loves the brits, if he is here most of the time and works for a brit, y bash us then, u only bashing part of yourself
460 Banco: He secretly wants to be one of us, thats the thing. I'm waiting for his announcement shortly that he intends to apply for UK citizenship. Of course, t
461 Pilot kaz: yes this will be very intresting, dont forget only fools and hores tho, u aint a brit if u aint seen del boy now He must be jelious then, cnt be a UK
462 Andreas: Somehow I have a feeling that I know my Monty Python much better than most Brits...I need to catch up a bit on Fawlty Towers, though Now I'll tell you
463 Pilot kaz: um hm, u still wanna b a brit tho, totaly obvious,
464 Andreas: Nah, I wanna be a basher, that much is obvious, and the Brits are born victims ...just look at Banco!
465 Banco: Which bank is it you work for? I think you've told me, but I've forgotten. Pilot kaz - agreed.
466 Klaus: Andreas: Now I'll tell you a secret, just keep it to yourself, Klaus wouldn't want to hear this: You´re delusional! If you had bothered to actually l
467 Andreas: I didn't and I won't ...forget it, there are no fatcat jobs for you...all taken by highly able and brilliant and witty Germans...such as Yours truly N
468 Pilot kaz: lol Banco lets starts givin him the proper British welcome "Y hello there old boy!, jolly good to see you, so your order is 1 tea, and a Full english
469 Andreas: Klaus, did you actually have to tell them that??????? I wanted to keep this secret! Good Lord, who is delusional here ...and in the words of Arnold...
470 Andreas: Kaz, the correct welcome for me on Monday will be "Welcome to London, Boss, did you have a good flight, nice to see you again!"..and I expect them to
471 Banco: I'd have though the more traditional English welcome would be something like: "Oi! Kraut wanker! Come over here and I'll smash yer bleedin' face in ya
472 Klaus: Pilot kaz: "Y hello there old boy!, jolly good to see you, so your order is 1 tea, and a Full english breakfast then ah? Jolly good show old boy!" Tea
473 Andreas: I usually have breakfast with some German collegues, good German food, healthy, dark bread, hard-boiled eggs, some not-too-fat Swiss cheese...ok, some
474 Banco: Seen too many movies? I do live here you know! As for marmalade, here's an irony for you: Most of the oranges for marmalade come from the Seville area
475 Andreas: Right, have a nice weekend y'all! As usual, don't do this and that, behave...until Monday! Banco, you do? Well, certainly not in the financial distric
476 Banco: Don't see why. This is where the wealthier ones live. Only the lowlifes like you would actually live in London.
477 Pilot kaz: live in london ,,,,,, big mistake lol, i live bout 20 miles north of london
478 Andreas: Yes well, you know, we financial genies do like to keep to ourselves...the smell of cowshit does nothing to enhance good an innovative thinking Actual

483 Banco: Head up to the BBC, Andreas. The whiff of government never reaches them up there...
484 Andreas: Did it ever occur to you that I'm working? And when I'm not, I'm trying to keep this thread alive...something you guys seem to be unable to!!
485 Klaus: Oh, come on; That was kind of weak. By the way, the weather at the moment is heavily overcast with occasional rain. It´s only fitting for this discus

488 Klaus: Delusional, are we? So how´s the weather on the other side? Anything spectacular? Like sunshine?
489 Andreas: Basically the same as in FRA, I guess, but a little less windy, which is rather nice, last night that bloody storm was howling away like crazy, that d

494 Banco: I thought "Kohl" had a couple of those silly dots above the "o"? Obviously I'm wrong. Perhaps the British press found out (eventually) how to put them

496 Klaus: I defecting? Who was that deplorable wreck sucking up to the Perfidious Albion, begging them to let you in? Remember that? No? Just scroll back up to

508 Banco: Trouble is, Kirkie, there's nothing really bad to say about the Scots, because you're so insignificant no-one notices that you're there....
509 GKirk: Damn you Banco, damn you to hell Your acting like Klaus now.
510 Klaus: Yep, if you want something truly evil to be done, turn to us!
511 GKirk: Even the Germans are invading Tyneside, the only decent part of England left with, the new HLX service from Hanover!
512 Andreas: Good morning, I see you did some good work yesterday while I was out and kicking some English asses around in order to make them understand how busine
513 Banco: Scots are a type of inferior Englishman, Andreas. For evidence, look no further than Dr Johnson's first English dictionary, where "oats" are defined a
514 Andreas: An "inferior" Englishman???????????????? WOW, there exists something like an inferior Englishman? This country of yours never ceases to amaze me!
515 Banco: Since Germans are inferior Danes I'd have thought you'd grasp exactly what I meant...
516 Andreas: Ahem...yes, a great example of British humour...I slapped my knees so hard, I can barely walk . Since Englismen are a mixture of Germans, Danes, Frenc

518 Andreas: Right so that someone finally rightfully looks down on the English! That sounds as if you are American
519 Klaus: Banco: Everyone has to have someone to look down upon. That's why the Germans were invented. As for the English, we are a combination of those peop
520 Banco: Well, they are our cousins after all. Come to think of it, surely everyone looks down on the Dutch? (Think about it)
521 GKirk: Yes, I exist However, does Banco exist or is he really Klaus in disguise Not everyone looks down on the Dutch, Banco Personally, I see no need for the
522 Banco: Kirkie, you're scaring me. A lack of humourous insight only matched by our Teutonic friends. The Swiss certainly look down on the Dutch. Come on, work
524 GKirk: Banco: Yes I got the thing about looking down on ther dutch due to the fact that half of them are under water The Swiss should be removed for being to
525 Klaus: GKirk: The Swiss should be removed for being too expensive and making watches. The relocation of their chocolate factories can be made to Scotland tho
526 Andreas: I don't see why a flooding of Germany helps the Scots to get a grip on the Swiss chocolate manufactures...not that you would bring down the level of q
527 GKirk: Andreas: The Germans are as good at fighting as the French, so you wouldnt stand a chance
528 Andreas: Kirk, I hate to bring up our recent war history...and the Scottish one Please reconsider your statement. Oh and the football history: given the low-qu
529 GKirk: Andreas: I officially declare war on you, Klaus and Banco. I will win this!
530 Banco: Actually the Scots have made up a sizeable proportion of the British armed forces for centuries, Andreas. The biggest contribution was in the army, bu

537 Klaus: There you go... Andreas may not be one of our finest, but he´ll have to do.
538 Banco: I never try to be funny. When it happens, it happens. Of course, some other nationalities do try - with predictable results. Change of subject. You kn
540 GKirk: Ok, Banco. Just this once I'll team up with an Englishman to defeat those cocky Germans.
541 Andreas: Well, after such a long while you can be sure that someone comes along and tries to spoil the fun...and misses the point altogether... Yes, same in Ge
543 GKirk: At least we have Terry Wogan comentating on it Now, as mentioned before somewhere, I dont think Germany have anybody with as much charisma to put up a
544 Banco: Half the world only knows Eurovision because of Wogan. He's a cult figure in Australia because of his commentary, which, for you poor continentals who
545 Klaus: I don´t know... I prefer the gentle irony from Axel Bulthaupt... I´ve only managed to zap into the competition by accident, but he seemed to do a go
546 Andreas: Klaus, Bulthaupt is SERIOUS!! That much is certain, that's why the late "Hitparade-Girlies" love him so much. He's an Ossie, which doesn't make things
547 Banco: Philosophical question for you both: What do an Ossie and an Aussie have in common? Gold stars awarded for funniest connections...
548 Klaus: Sorry I´m not into ossie-bashing. I don´t hit helpless strangers.
549 Andreas: Both are waaayyyyyy down under...in one way or another I love Ossie-Bashing, but then I'm a Berliner which sort of explains this
550 Klaus: Well, that basically makes you an ossie yourself!
551 Andreas: You're a "real" Berliner, meaning that funny city in the middle of New-5-Land or SBZ, as I prefer to call it, either by birth or never...West Berliner
552 Klaus: Wasn´t "SBZ" ("Sowjetische Besatzungs-Zone" = "soviet-occupied zone") exclusively used by the Bild-"Zeitung" and the other Springer rags? I had hoped
553 Andreas: Yes, and from Darmstadt, which sort of explains a lot, too Actually SBZ was the correct name shortly after WWII, because that's what it was, and I can
554 Klaus: That´s a rather poor excuse... Anyway, don´t kill yourself... or what´s the proper protective spell against poisoning, again?
555 GKirk: Damn Germans, your just as bad as the Swiss for turning a decent thread into something totally boring.
556 Klaus: And you´re absolutely sure it´s got nothing to do with your idea of fun and excitement revolving exclusively around bar brawls and drinking games?
560 Klaus: The island still (barely) above water, tonight?
561 Pilot kaz: lol aint seen any rain at my end not one sign of floods!
562 Ryanb741: Wow - this thread has gone on for ever. And we still don't have an answer about the Euro and the UK And yes - the island is still here AFAIK, although

565 Ryanb741: Maybe its just because we both want the last word!

570 Banco: Well this comes back to what we said before. we really need to launch a takeover bid for Europe. The rest of them just have no stomach for the fight.
571 GKirk: Yes Banco. Seeing as the Germans cant put up a decent fight, Switzerland Austria and Italy will be the next to be taken over Germany will be renamed S
572 Andreas: Kirkie, please stop repeating yourself over and over again...as I said earlier, a bad joke doesn't get better by beating it to death OK, let's prepare
573 Klaus: Why does that idea remind me eerily of the AOL/Warner affair with all its aftermath...?
574 GKirk: Could this be? A united UK/Germany takeover of Europe? You Germans can have the French, Belgians and Norwegians "as I said earlier, a bad joke doesn't
575 Andreas: So was I, Kirk, so was I Now to the Scots...I suppose we can clearly identify them as non-core business and divest the whole lot...maybe the Russians'
576 GKirk: And you Germans shall be renamed as being part of the USA and forever be called big fat, hamburger eating Yanks
577 Andreas: Actually given the current sentiments on both sides of the Atlantic, I'd say the chances for THAT to happen are rather slim, thanx to GWB and his chic
578 GKirk: Seeing as we have brought attacking the USA into this seeing as the rest of Europe are afraid to bash back, then:
579 Klaus: Well, I think a wholesale takeover should not be the primary target; After all, we know the fallout of the last hostile takeover bid in the mid-20th c

581 Andreas: You have to mix these up in order to make it sellable, that is, a mixed calculation, trust me, I know these things. BMW is Bavarian, like Bayern Munic
582 GKirk: Perhaps merging VFB Stuttgart with FC Chelski could work? Rename it as London Stuttgart FC. Or selling off BMW to Denmark.
583 Klaus: Well, yes, I was assuming the population was actually still in charge... But I may have underestimated the progress of assorted evil plans...
584 Banco: Andreas, is that the same as when we had mad cow disease over here? It was ridiculous that the rest of the world was telling us what to do about it. T

602 Andreas: Arsenal eat your heart out...I hope he's sitting in front of his desktop and bawling his eyes out
607 Klaus: Well, maybe it´s time for the game discussion... I think this was one of the better Euro/UK threads... we´ve had substance, we´ve had ... the usual
608 Andreas: Kirkie: ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!! Yes that was a good one, though it's pretty old actually, but still funny!!! Klaus: Think so? Let it die in silence and digni
609 GKirk: Yeah, maybe it is time for a new thread, as its taking quite a while for this to open on my 56K modem connection Who wants to start it? Euro in the UK
610 Klaus: GKirk: Yeah, maybe it is time for a new thread, as its taking quite a while for this to open on my 56K modem connection You definitely deserve a comme
611 GKirk: Yeah, sounds good! Forum Mods: Please lock this thread
612 Klaus: Whoa, hold it! If it dies, it should do so "naturally"! Besides, Banco should have his chance for a eulogy as well...
614 Andreas: Absolutely though I think I already made a correct speech for this thread funeral! OHMEGOD, he did it, he really did it!!!!!
615 Klaus: Those scots... hasty I say, always hasty!
616 GKirk: Making it easier Just wonder whether some of the Yanks will join in Then it will be UK & Germany Vs USA
617 Klaus: ...and among the ranks, of course. It wouldn´t be fun otherwise!
618 GKirk: Well it definitly wont be fun if any Canadians or Australians joined in
619 Russophile: Too late Gkirk....oops. Here's one for the Germans to remember...... What's the difference between a Pom (an Englishman) and a 747? (Highlight this ar
620 Klaus: Sounds pretty much like what austrians and germans think of each other!

625 Klaus: Switzerland??? I think you´d find out the true extent of the swiss lack of humour if you tried that!
626 Andreas: Yeah right, then take all the chocolate manufacturer of the US of Switzerland and transfer it to Scotland...like Hershey...what do you want with that?
627 Klaus: That does remind me of something... Crunchy Frog, anyone???
628 GKirk: Perhaps Flood Switzerland, Germany and Lichtenstein
629 Klaus: You´ve got it with those floodings, for some reason, don´t you? Delayed your annual bath for too long again?
630 Andreas: Are we talking about a certain Bavarian tatort? "we do not take out the bones, to make it crunchy"...I nearly pissed myself laughing, still one of my

632 Banco: Are we still going? Blimey. I'd be interested to know quite how Kirkie intends to go about flooding Switzerland. Something of an engineering challenge
633 Andreas: Yeah right that one too....clearly where these bavarians got their joke from...still I was laughing so hard, even minutes afterwards, I completely los
634 GKirk: Banco: Easy We'll get every fire engine in the world and practice for England matches by hosing down the whole of Switzerland. Geneva included
635 Andreas: Our young Scottish friend seems to have a REAL problem with the Swiss...wonder what happened...did their football team with their 2 new Stuttgart play
636 Banco: Probably Andreas. After all, virtually every team in the world has...
637 Andreas: Correct, but, funny enough, it's the Swiss (and the Germans) he wants to flood...maybe something deep down in his mind...maybe during childhood a Germ
638 GKirk: I have turned on the Swiss, because of their boringness. Making clocks and chocolate all day cant be fun. Flood Switzerland Germany, hell, nobody like
639 Klaus: You´re aware you´re attempting to wipe out your only allies against Banco, right?
640 GKirk: Actually, I believe me and Banco are allies against you
641 Klaus: Yeah... I´ve heard that sadist / masochist relationships can be almost symbiotic, at times...
642 Andreas: Kirkie..making clocks and chocolate all day is a lot more the Scots can say about themselves..ever thought of that? Klaus, you know the one about what
643 GKirk: At least Scottish women (well most of them) dont look like big butch lesbians
644 Andreas: That I can't say, I don't know that many... But then the Swiss girls don't either. Say Kirkie are you sure you really met "girls" from these countries
645 GKirk: No, just those frigging Germands that steal the sunbeds. Flood the Sunb...errr Germans
646 Andreas: Well you can always flood the sunbeds with the Germans still on it...quite nice when it's really hot, I guess
647 Klaus: GKirk: No, just those frigging Germands that steal the sunbeds. How is it our fault when you insist on binge drinking when you know you won´t make it
648 GKirk: Thats what holidays are for! Binge drinking!
649 MD11Engineer: Why don´t you try to share a sunbed with a German girl then? Jan
650 Andreas: Jan, he's never seen one!! He's into drinking...I never understood his need for a sunbed anyway!
651 MD11Engineer: Maybe to sleep off his alcohol induced coma... Funny thing is, I used to work in Ireland. In our company we had a lot of foreign contractors. One day
652 Andreas: Jan, I work for an English company, and I do a lot of work in London...and I know EXACTLY what you are talking about If they only knew...
653 GKirk: Andreas Andreas Andreas Shut up will you

664 Banco: Just a thought here: the Scots are known for their meanness. Is it any co-incidence that they still retain pound notes when the rest of the UK got rid
665 Klaus: Didn´t know that Scotland was that poor...! But wouldn´t they prefer the coins, which would surely have the likeness of the Queen on the back while
666 Banco: The coins don't last too long up there. Have you ever wondered how copper wire is made? It's two Scotsmen fighting over a penny. It's the same princip

670 Andreas: Then it will come as a shock to you, that I'm already back here in Frankfurt Your thinking is cash-dominated, don't you have any other wishes, desires
671 Banco: Ah. Could you not make the grade in the new Utopia, Andreas? Had to return to the land of sausage, sauerkraut and economic stagnation? Do you want to
672 Andreas: It just doesn't take that long to kick enough English asses around to make them work properly again . Utopia....? Seems to me you don't have a clue ab

674 LGW: No Euro thanks, £ doing the job fine and we dont want you European nations setting your rules forcing us to go along with what ever you want us to, a
675 Andreas: Spoken like a true country boy LGW, what the hell are you talking about...?
676 LGW: Andreas, I am talking about if I want the Euro. No I dont. France and Germany basically are Europe, they make the rules and the decisions (they break
677 Banco: Ben, have you actually read this thread? Do you really think we've been talking about the Euro for nigh on 700 posts? Fair comment as far as it goes,

682 GKirk: Euro sucks because the EU sucks. The EU is stuck in the past. Why not just let Saddam Hussein be the EU leader?
683 Banco: The difference, Kirkie, is that Saddam Hussein is accountable for his crimes....

685 Andreas: Good Lord, can't you just keep your frigging hands off this stupid topic?!? btw, No. 700 is looming in the not-too-distant future...don't let it fall
686 Banco: WARNING! WARNING! KLAUS SENSE OF HUMOUR FAILURE! ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! :D By the way, Andreas - that's a bit rich coming from you, isn't it?
687 Andreas: Being a totally nice guy, I just want to keep you guys, especially the Brits, from making a complete fool out of yourselves. Now, isn't that nice? btw
688 Klaus: Thanks for implying I even had some kind of humour. You´re getting soft, apparently!
689 GKirk: I suppose I could have said the German national hero "Hitler" but thought Sadman Hussein would be more appropriate
690 Klaus: Do you really have to resort to the "really, really stupid" level?
691 Andreas: Klaus he's a Scot..now what do you expect? They go to the Mediterranean Sea drink themselves to death, when they come back out of coma they start thro
692 Banco: The thing is, Andreas, that as linked peoples both Scots and English are actually quite proud of that.

694 Klaus: GKirk: Klaus, it could have been worse. I could have said you were American or French No, actually.
695 Andreas: Banco that is true except that bit about Portugal, but then you'll be among the first teams to fly home...so you'll be linked in the end, no sweat. Ar
696 Banco: Kirkie, if you flood all of Germany, where are the British Army going to play?
697 Andreas: Ahem..in the Highlands? Shooting Scots?
698 Banco: No, Andreas. They did that for hundreds of years, they need some variety in their training.
699 Klaus: Andreas, you´re cruel... just in the right way.
701 Andreas: Excellent...well done! When I saw that 700 I didn't dare to look to the right, afraid that "Bengel" from London came on like a jack-in-the-box! Banco,
702 Banco: My, those mathematics lessons you went to came in useful, Klaus, didn't they?
703 Banco: Army training in France is a waste of time, Andreas. All that happens is that the farmers blockade the country and then you're knackered.
704 Klaus: Banco: My, those mathematics lessons you went to came in useful, Klaus, didn't they? If you need extra math lessons for that, you´re really in troubl
705 Andreas: Of course you could flood France, follow Kirkie and his lot! But that brings us back to the French girls...what to do...
706 Banco: Klaus, I was talking about you, old bean. Not me. Oh, and you still have some work to do on your English. The short version of mathematics is maths, n
707 GKirk: There's your English lesson for the day then Flood France? What would be achieved with that? Flood Hungary
708 Pilot kaz: i cant be bothered to read all ofg the above posts so im just gonna go with what i found intresting in the last 1 FLOOD FRANCE!!! i liked that i agree
709 Banco: Kirkie are you sure you want to do all this flooding. Remember all the trouble you caused when you had that little argument with Atlantis?
710 Andreas: How about flooding England...? I mean it's pretty flat anyway, so it shouldn't be much of a problem, really! Hi Kaz...we'll grant you permission to le
711 Pilot kaz: what about the ider of floding france? i liked that one, but o well lol, i already live in highland so i dont need your permition to move either,i wou
712 Andreas: Well we flood England and France simultaneously if that's any consolition to you! And Hungary...just to shut up Kirkie!

714 Andreas: We're much better now than then and if fits your needs better...how about flooding Europe in whole..and the US of A, while we're at it! What does John
715 Klaus: Thanks for the lesson; I´ll still stick to "free style" english to an extent, though. And you just wait until the next ice age - we´ll get you back!
716 GKirk: Just destroy the EU, and make the world a safer place Flood Sudan
717 Andreas: Why not go for the hardest part of all...flood the Highlands!!! Let's see if we manage to do that!
718 Klaus: It´s just an engineering challenge; We´ll need a dam all around to reach a sufficient flooding level. It´ll be expensive, but probably worth it!
719 Andreas: Yes, the Lowlands will be flooded, too...oh well, a small price for such a beautiful project!
720 Pilot kaz: anything good on TV tonight? o sorry am i going off topic? o well big deal
721 Klaus: We would be much more offended if you´d suddenly go on topic! And no, I don´know about the british TV program...
722 Andreas: Can I tell you about German TV? But you won't like it...
723 Banco: Given our struggles with flooding Switzerland, the Scottsih Highlands may not be that easy. However, we English still have Hadrian's Wall, so we can j
724 Andreas: Kirkie is the quintessential reason to go all the way, that is...no more Scotland afterwards, but a slightly enlarged North Sea btw What do you mean,
725 GKirk: Banco: Flooding Sudan would bring an immediate end to the drought there, and hence win me a Noble peace prize Flood Bhutan Edited for bad spelling[Edi
726 Klaus: Maybe we should stem the tide of flooding plans, at some time...
727 Banco: A Noble peace prize? Is that what you get when you set a new land speed record?
728 Andreas: Bhutan...that's easy, lots of mountains around, just fill it up! Ok, boys (and girl), I'm going home, see ya all tomorrow!
730 Banco: Let's go for an easy one to start. How about flooding the Lake District? Bloody hell, Kirkie, you've done it already!
731 GKirk: Yes, the Lake District was easy. It only took 3 days to do Flood Papua New Guinea
732 Andreas: FLOOD KIRKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How's that? But I guess you do that anyway, each time you can't find a sunbed...
733 Banco: Did Kirkie ever tell you he was a swimming pool designer?
734 Andreas: Does that matter? Is it forbidden to flood Scottish swimming pool designer? If we do it in a tasteful surrounding, I'm sure he'll appreciate it!
735 GKirk: Andreas: Yes its illegal to flood me Flood The Isle of Wight
736 Andreas: It is NOT illegal, I just asked if you'd care...not that I'd care if you did

745 GKirk: Well said Banco I would flood the Chinese but that happened the other day in Morecambe, so Flood Australia
746 Banco: Just goes to show how dangerous a game that beach volleyball can be. And they haven't found the ball yet either... (Yes, I know. I'm sorry).
747 Andreas: Glasgow Rangers...didn't we kick you out of the CL a few months ago? I remember....
748 Pilot kaz: lalalal i have no ider y i just did that lol anyway hi
749 Banco: Hello my dear! Don't worry. What you said made a damn sight more sense than a typical Andreas post anyway.
750 GKirk: Yes those daftie Germans with their bad use of the English language
751 Banco: It's when we start correcting them on their German that they'll get really scared. Us Brits are well known for our linguistic skills.
752 GKirk: They'll be even more scared when I go to Niagra Falls to get some water to Flood Germany
753 Banco: Hmm. And you will get it across the Atlantic how, exactly? And when you do, will you not look at the sea and think "Oh. Yes, I could have done that in
754 Klaus: I see I haven´t missed anything... General incontinence is still the rage, apparently! ("Think watery thoughts! Think watery thoughts!")
755 Banco: I think you might be confusing incontinence with incompetence, Klaus. There's certainly a lot of that around here!
756 Klaus: No... the unending talk about flooding everything sounds a lot like incontinence to me!
757 Aloges: This is for everyone concerned about incontinence: >> http://www.hippo-the-watersaver.co.uk/loo.gif
758 Banco: That would then be cogito ergo sump would it, Aloges?
759 Aloges: ROFLMAO! Never thought about that! Anyway, I wouldn't want a sump to be flooded, which would inevitably happen.
760 Aviationfreak: Probably it is already said but I didn't feel like making an effort reading all the previous 759 posts but..... YOU DEFINATLY DON'T WANT THE EURO UNLE
761 Klaus: Too lazy to read up and then screaming like a madman... ts, ts, ts... Yeah, change just sucks!
762 GKirk: A bit like Germans at drinking then Banco: Yes...you have a point. I'll just use water from the North Sea
766 Banco: Look everyone! A Frenchman! Let's get him...
767 NoUFO: Hm, Kirkiegaard, I expected a different answer, such as "Look, it is not so far from the Niagara Falls to Germany. On my map it's only some 15 Inches.
768 Klaus: NoUFO: "Intelligent life exists out there, because none of it has tried to contact us." Okay, that may explain why most people leave this thread alone

832 GKirk: At least half of them playing were born in England

834 GKirk: And Germany and England wont be winning in Portugal either Viva la France!

868 Klaus: Tintin would be another prominent (fictional) belgian...
869 GKirk: Ok, ok, so it has to be done... Flood Belgium
870 Paulc: Banco, after much googling I have found a 4 more famous belgians. Adolphe Sax - inventor of saxaphone Jean-Marc Bosman - footballer as in a Bosman rul
871 Arsenal@LHR: You forgot Jean Claude Van Damme, the "Muscles from Brussels".
872 Klaus: Paulc: wasn't the chap who got bill gates with a custard pie also belgian? - but he can be forgiven for that after such an achievement Wow, we agree o
873 GKirk: Watch out, post 900 is approaching and Arsenal has appeared out of nowhere
874 Klaus: GKirk: Watch out, post 900 is approaching Indeed... GKirk: and Arsenal has appeared out of nowhere His tag claims it was from "United Kingdom"... But
875 Paulc: Klaus, that must be a first ! especially on a 'euro/eu' thread - there is hope for you yet Arsenal - not forgot, more like ignored
876 GKirk: Fair play to Arsenal though, at least he isnt French
877 Banco: Hey, Klaus. Now you and Paulc have agreed on something, perhaps you should put him on your Respected User List. After all, this is a special occasion.
878 Paulc: Klaus, I will if you will Banco - you already there

880 Banco: Klaus, if you don't do it, then by definition you have no understanding of irony. Got you there, haven't I?
881 Klaus: Come on - you know I´m german; Not understanding irony is a native trait!
882 GKirk: Come on - you know I´m german ------------------ Finally you admit you have no sense of humour, lack of drinking ability and come from the land of bo
883 Banco: And Paulc has already offered to take him up on it! Unbelievable. Klaus you are hereby finally classified is a miserable, boring, humourless teutonic

886 Klaus: It seems I´ve shocked the brits into a coma with my candor. Pity.
887 Banco: But you insist on bringing us out with your spelling. It's candour.
888 FlyingColours: NO NO OH GOD NO! keep the Euro well away from here, I don't wan't to go off on one but we must fight this off at all costs. I know I have skipped the

893 Banco: It'd be a brave man to throw a pie in the face of Prescott. He's already shown what he does with people that throw things at him. Actually, I think it
894 Klaus: If it was allowed to throw eggs or pies at the high-and-mighty, it would only be half the fun it´s now...
895 NoUFO: Admit it, Klaus, you have always missed. Where is the fun in that?
896 Klaus: No... I´m just part of the amused audience!
897 Banco: Klaus is a computer bod. It's got to be odds on that he has one of those girlie throws, hasn't it?
898 Klaus: You´re volunteering for demonstration target, Banco?
899 Paulc: how about herr schroeder ? - he would need a lot of hair dye (allegedly) to removed the colour
901 Paulc: and 901..... filler filler etc[Edited 2004-02-25 15:02:06]
902 Paulc: oh bollards!! - did you have your towel on the 900 ?
903 Klaus: Towel? That complex again? Just keeping Arsenal away from it. Traditions must be maintained... Eggs: Former chancellor Helmut Kohl was once pelted wit

907 Banco: I think it's fair enough to call Klaus power hungry, but is he really ugly?
909 Paulc: well, I always imagined Klaus (and Andreas) to be the brothers from Eurotrash - however which one is which I have no idea
910 Banco: Heymach, is that "Yes" to the Euro, or "yes" Klaus is really ugly? Paulc, I view them more as the duo Sparks. Klaus is the scary one with the moustach
911 Andreas: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...so good to be back friends and neighbours, and see that all has been going well...CONGRATS!!!!! And Amsterdam was fun, too, especia
912 Klaus: Not quite... no mustache... and not generally that sour face... Scary? Well, at least most people don´t run screaming for their lives when they meet
913 Banco: Only because you lock the door! And I'm sure I've heard you singing "This EU ain't big enough for the both of us" before.
914 Klaus: Banco: Only because you lock the door! Speaking from your own experience, again? Oh you poor, tortured soul... Banco: And I'm sure I've heard you sing
915 NoUFO: Can someone tell me how to send letter bombs to certain Forum members via this Forum...preferably in the 8-10 megaton range? Megaton? That would be e
916 Klaus: One of those joints must have been bad!!
917 GKirk: Aaahh...no Uni until next tuesday. Tis the life of a student
918 Andreas: Unfortunately I don't know which one...I just walked around, took a noseful of this fine sweet smell that comes out of every other house there (they c
919 Banco: Klaus, you clearly missed the reference to a famous Sparks song. Never mind. Andreas, in order to sink Scotland, you have to tilt Britain on its axis.
920 GKirk: It'd be easier to Flood Germany and Switzerland
921 Andreas: Problem? No! Why?? First of all it would look rather good, and besides you missed the point...I want to break it off and then sink it. Ok, a few parts
922 Klaus: Indeed, I´m not the biggest Sparks fan... As for flooding Britain, I´d propose something else: Tow the dang islands to the other side of the pond! L
923 GKirk: Andreas, your just as bad as Klaus and Arsenal@LHR Flood USA Germany sucks
924 Andreas: Kirkie wait till I sink Scotland, then you'll find out the hard way that I am much much worse, your most terrifying nightmare...because I will succeed
925 Klaus: Andreas: If they have to play Fiji or Samoa in the Pacific Championships, maybe they will get a title after all! Let´s at least leave them the illusi
926 GKirk: Andreas, you couldnae score in a whore house , so you've nae chance of sinking Scotland. I'll agree with you on towing England away though
927 Andreas: Right Kirkie, and whilst towing England to the Pacific, we can sink Scotland somewhere away from Europe in deeper water Oh and why should I score in a
928 GKirk: Dont forget, it we (and the Yanks) hadnt bombed your country, you'd still be under the influence of Hitler. You owe the UK and USA a lot for your free
929 Staffan: So, does the UK want the Euro? Staffan
931 NoUFO: So, does the UK want the Euro? No, the UK doesnt want the Euro! Hey, we haven't discussed this thoroughly, yet!
932 Banco: Quite right, NoUFO. I suggest we keep on going. Andreas, I suspect that I am not completely alone in England thinking that your plan to two us to the
933 NoUFO: How about the Bermuda Triangle then, Banco? I guess that would solve the problem of noise from commercial airplanes arriving at LHR, too.
934 Klaus: I feel a consensus coming up... Only the poor, unsuspecting new neighbours of whiner´s island haven´t cast their vote yet... Oh - quick, let´s push
935 Banco: The Bermuda triangle would give us the advantage whereby people spend their money on visiting us, then promptly vanish before they arrive, thus creati
936 Andreas: Right back to the old buccaneer days Oh and Bermuda does have another advantage: If we decide to sink England anyway on the darkest hour of the night,
937 NoUFO: Now, after only little more than 930 posts we come to an agreed ruling and tow England south of the Bermuda Triangle, thus removing that little island
938 Banco: Now that's not true Andreas and you know it. With us gone, who would you have to bitch about? Aha. You hadn't thought of that, had you?
939 Andreas: Don't get your hopes up, Banco! There's still the French, the Italians including an absolutely moronic PM who provides bitching by the truckload...the
940 Andreas: Get your lazy a$$es up and in here...bloody Scots and English and other orc-lookalikes!!!!
941 Klaus: Okay, then I guess at least I can go back to work...
942 Banco: "Scots and English orc-lookalikes"? Is that anyway to talk to your distant cousins?
943 Klaus: Do you mean talking to the britons or to the orcs?
945 Andreas: Kirkie, maybe so, but the girls find us cute, as is the case with penguins...now I never met anyone, especially of female gender, that came out of LOT
946 GKirk: Your obsessed with orcs! You must have strong feelings for the orcs
947 Banco: Klaus, if you're prepared to accept that orcs are your distant cousins, we may just be getting somewhere...
951 Andreas: Oh and if you read Tolkien (try Hobbit, e.g.), those orcs and goblins and dwarfs speak a Scottish sort of English...how did Tolkien come up with that,
952 Banco: Could it be that the word "Germanic" is a corruption of the old English phrase "German orc"? I think we should be told...
953 GKirk: Do you think any of the mods are checking up on this thread? It'll soon be 1000 posts Well done CON207 for starting such a stellar thread
954 Andreas: AND FOR GOD'S SAKE PAY ATTENTION WHEN 1,000 COMES UP. Arsenal will try anything to get that one!!!!!
955 GKirk: Yes, I fear we may have to team up to prevent Arsenal getting #1000
956 Andreas: Team up with Brits *UGH*...I do that in daily life all the time, is that really necessary??? I thought I can kick your a$$es around here..but ok, you'

958 Andreas: Nah, they are just glad that 2 of the nicest and most intelligent German members are successfully keeping the 2 most notorious rioters here on this no
959 Banco: Couldn't agree more Andreas. NoUFO and MD11Engineer get everywhere.
960 Andreas: Absolutely, and it is indeed a task to bring Kirkie and the notorious B.a.n.c.o. to order...oh and it gives the other Germans some room to do signific

970 NoUFO: the sad truth about Brits again...in short, they ARE orcs Ah, that's why this website glows bluish ...
971 GKirk: Andreas is a frenchman in disguise. He gives up easily when trouble bestows him, hence the reason he cant stay in London longer than 2 days - all thos
972 Andreas: Kirkie as usual not able to comprehend the truth, but still, a little bit of truth in your post anyway...about those stealing cockneys Actually it doe
973 Banco: Good to see that a couple of cryptic remarks drag NoUFO and MD11Engineer back into the mix. At least it shows that they're reading it I suppose. Kirki

976 Banco: Andrelino Seboleas sounds like one of those nasty ebola type viruses. Coem to think of it, that's probably not a coincidence. Andreas/Sebolino - made

983 Banco: We like poodles because they remind us of German armpits.
984 Andreas: Yes...cleanshaven and smooth, at least that's what you do to your poor poodles (and in many cases, to your heads, well at least the football hooligans
985 Pilot kaz: hello again got bored so i came bak hehe we r so close to 1000 posts oh yeh!! oh yeh!! and germna armpits YUK but i can do worse! FRENCH urrrr ewwww
986 Andreas: Right just don't let Arsenal get the 1,000, please! So aha, you're an expert on German female armpits? Or French female armpits? What sort of bsuiness
987 GKirk: I think Andreas is really a girl Something belonging to Andreas is Andrea's
988 Andreas: Kirkie and even if so...you wouldn't stand a chance you bloody Scot!! I'd rather go lesbian with kaz
990 NoUFO: Don't worry, Pilot kaz. From what Andreas' g/f told me, he's almost as nice as I am. He won't bite you, and you are even allowed to mention the war.
991 Pilot kaz: i think i will still hide behind the sofa when he posts but all take your word for it
992 NoUFO: But but, don't you think he will just write to apologize for all the abominations committed by my nation 60 years ago?
993 Banco: You dirty old man (or woman) Andreas! Have you seen Kaz's age? CRADLE SNATCHER! CRADLE SNATCHER! CRADLE SNATCHER! CRADLE SNATCHER! CRADLE SNATCHER! I
994 Banco: OK, we're getting close to the 1000 mark now, and with ISDN (I really must get around to broadband you know) it takes forever to load. So I'll go for
995 Banco: Bloody useless. Not even close. Everyone else buggers off so my post is the next one. Marvellous. Trust the devious Germans to do such a thing.
996 NoUFO: Doing what thing? Being a cradle snatcher? What is it anyway? Sounds as if being a cradle snatcher is either fun or immoral or both. Care to elaborate
997 Racko: Throughout Germany and Britain are lads sitting in front of their computers waiting for their shot at the 1000 milestone
998 Racko: Imagine the following situation, somewhere on a holiday island in the south: A German wakes up early, looks out of the window and decides to go to the
999 Racko: ...he takes the lift down, goes out and throws his towel a long way to the pool...
1000 Racko: ...where it lands just in front of the British masses! 1000!

1012 Klaus: Thank you for giving everyone the satisfaction. That sort of wraps it up, doesn´t it?

1014 GKirk: Well done to the Krauts. And did I see what I thought I'd seen. An American?

1029 Andreas: Whenever I see those posts of Kirkie in megalarge bold letters and the word flood somewhere in there, I know damn well, I hit it spot-on!!
1030 Klaus: Indeed... yelling has always been an indication of someone feeling really weak and powerless...
1031 Andreas: No need to feel weak and powerless, Kirkie!!! You ARE weak and powerless!!!!!
1032 GKirk: "You ARE weak and powerless!!!!! " Im Scottish, not German you gay dawg!!!
