Well, the tail-end of that hurricane (Alex?) has finally hit Scotland with a vengeance, and after a few days of blissfully hot weather it is now chucking it down here. Roads flooded, rivers flooding, people injured, cars with foolish drivers driving into deepish water and getting stuck
Thanks for sending the hurricane this way
Personally I blame George Bush and John Kerry
Anyone else in the UK having horrid weather?
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!

Kirkie..I always told you you're way too untalented to flood anything larger than your own underpants...but to get the help of GWB and the ketchup group, that is even below you
foolish drivers..are there any others on Scotland?
Overall: Methinks you had some bad ganja this weekend...or too much beer, or too much of both at the same time

I see a new historical thread dawning on us...can you say HALLELUJAH!!
Banco is here, I know it, I can feel it, I can virtually smell him...he's lurking in the undepths of this thread, desperately trying to come up with a posting that is funnier than mine (and as usual NOT succeeding )...never mind, old friend, let's all have a nice little Kirkie-bashing..just what the world needs on this dreary Tuesday!!

Well it's P*ing it down here again for the fourth consecutive day (it stops raining for about an hour a day), we've had a few tail ends of T-Storms pass by and it is quite hot.
Roads are flooding further south and at least it keeps the kids away, and them damn mopeds!
(BTW I'm a few miles Due north of MAN)

This is what I miss about Berlin! Sitting in some outdoor bar and drinking a cold "Berliner Weiße mit Schuß"! Hard to get here in the Rhineland (I hate Kölsch!).
And the girls! I like summer, it is like the floweres blooming!
Jan
25 Pilot kaz: yes Andrea's, has been along time since we had a good bash
26 Andreas: Actually I like it without Schuss, icecold and directly from the bottle sitting at Bundespressestrand and watching all those B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L ladies
28 MD11Engineer: Haven´t been around my home town for a few years... but does the Liegewiese in Tiergarten still exist? With all the ladies adoring the sun (You know

32 MD11Engineer: Imagine, all the haggis will be washed down to England! Horror! Jan
33 Pilot kaz: yes nice and warm here also [Edited 2004-08-10 14:23:53]
34 NoUFO: Is that really in the news today? I only found an article in the entertainment section of one news service.
37 EGGD: Sunny here, we had the most beautiful sunset last night as well...
38 Banco: It does allow all the Scots to finally make use of those appalling kilts though. Tie them together at one end and you have a flotation device. I belie
39 Pilot kaz: I believe the RAF are roaming over Scotland shooting at all kilts they can see in order to puncture them ahh so that's why they have bases up there
40 AIR757200: Don't thank us GKirk, thank the Jet Stream.
41 MD11Engineer: Banco, No, if they wore pants, they might wet them while trying to flood other countries! Jan[Edited 2004-08-10 15:00:24]
42 Banco: Jan, if you've ever seen the Scots stumble out of the pub after a night on the heavy, then you would understand that wetting their pants is probably w
43 MD11Engineer: Banco, I can imagine! Fine, a Scotland bashing thread! (rubs his hands!) But it is alone Kirkie´s fault! He had it coming! Jan
44 Klaus: Masochists, the whole lot up there! As if Haggis on its own wouldn´t have been proof of that!
45 Andreas: Kirkie is living proof that Scots can't flood anything else but their own underpants...or the ground below if they don't wear any! Of course THAT is t
46 GKirk: Rumour is that a group have been formed in Scotland in order to assasinate Banco.....JFK style

52 Banco: In any case, JFK are the initials used in Scotland for what the rest of us term KFC. A little light acquaintence with the Glaswegian accent shows you
53 GKirk: Wheesht ye bunch of baw heids Even God has a sense of humour....just look at France or Singapore
54 Andreas: Are you trying to tell us Kirkie wants to grill you and then have a piece of you with a nice serving of "Krautsalat" of all possible salads??? Good Lo
55 Iakobos: Banco, you created Belgium in order to put some more distance between your isle and the Germans, and you were kafkaian enough to give us a German King
56 JGPH1A: Re: Even God has a sense of humour....just look at France or Singapore Oy ! No diverting the just and rightful wrath of the masses away from your own
57 Banco: Iakobos, Indeed. However, it is a tactic which does not always succeed. Witness the stupid bloody Germans who wanted to create a barrier between them
58 Andreas: What are you talking about...it works perfectly well! Look at all those braindead Brits who get stuck in France and never make it to Germany...Thank G
59 Klaus: Not even speaking of the fact that britons are annoyed to no end about those pesky frenchmen. It´s a joy to watch!
60 Banco: Yes, Andreas, and you can imagine the confusion that caused over here in 1914 when we went to war against the Germans, alongside the French. This is w

67 Klaus: Why let a perfectly good pointy stick go bad when you can poke someone with it instead?
68 Redngold: After years of hurricanes and tropical storms here, we colonists thought we should share some of the profit with the mother country...
69 Klaus: Who would have thought that you´d be all about "sharing" all of a sudden! You´re too kind!
70 MD11Engineer: I think last night Kirkie gave flooding Germany a try. It didn´t work out but when I came back from walking out my MD-11 I thought I´ve grown skins
71 Aerobalance: Damn, and I thought these hurricanes started off the coast of Africa.....
72 Andreas: Jan, does an MD11 need walking out? What do the other guys say who walk out their dogs?? Is it allowed to let off its fluids freely?? Or are you just

78 GKirk: Tut tut tut, Germans starting wars against MD-11s now, and still they end up running Jan, you sure you aint French?

80 Banco: The thing is Kirkie, that the French and Germans are pretty much the same thing these days. What you get is a people that starts lots of wars and then
81 Andreas: Banco, what you get is a people that'll win every EC and WC during the next 30 years! And the UK will lose its preferred holiday destination..let alon
82 GKirk: Andreas, I have no respect for a country where a large number of people are called Helmut And the most popular hairstyle is the infamous mullet
83 Andreas: The mullet was invented by US soap operas and so-called mainstream rock bands in the 80ies...in Germany the "Ossis" picked it up after reunification,

100 MD11Engineer: Post 100! Got you beaten, Arsenal! Jan BTW, where is he??
101 Pilot kaz: aint got a clue LOL ahhh phuket! FLOOD EVERYWHERE!!
102 Andreas: A very strong deja vue!!!!! ...flood all, Scots, French, Brits, above all the Germans, keep Arsenal from getting the big numbers....
103 MD11Engineer: So, then what about introducing the Euro in the UK? What do you economists think about it? Jan
104 Pilot kaz: I think we should have 2 posts on that topic then over 1500 posts on sheer bashing anything. aka, Bash Germany.

106 MD11Engineer: Kaz, Wait until we meet in AMS.... And we´ve got to get a few mods on our side to beat those 1500 posts! Jan
107 Klaus: I thought it was because we strayed too far from the Euro... So let´s see if the scottish flood will keep this one afloat for a longer distance...
