    May 1st is a national holiday, Day of Work. For some reason I don't remember, each year on this day, there are riots taking place all over the country - this run of events is called Chaos Days (Chaostage; no, has nothing to do with Gamestage).
    You may want to take this site and translate it with something like Babelfish:
    http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaostage

    By the way, I can't say I find it amusing that whenever people mention something about Germany, the term Kraut is inevitably used somewhere or even worse, Nazi. Hell, I even referred to myself as a Kraut on this board once (in jest, of course).

    i think people say kraut in a semi affecionate way, like frog for the french or yank for an american. or wanker for the engilsh (well the scot's say that anyway.)

    sounds a bit mad the whole chaos day thing. fun tho.

    Does sound a bit of a laugh, I like smashing things. Still it's a shame a Speccy was a casualty of this day, it would've been more fitting to be a C64/commode/Breadbox/Bad music demo-maker instead. I think I mentioned in another post that Commodores burst good if you throw them from a multi-story carpark. As I've already mentioned on other posts my fiancee is a yank and they loved the commode, in fact she'd never heard of a Speccy until I explained to her about my JSW remaking addiction. She says her grandparents still have a working C64 in their basement. So I'm going to ask her if I can use it as a pinyada (don't know if I spelled that right?). Hang it from a tree and smash it to bits with a baseball bat. Then again an old pal of mine gave me a box of C64 tapes years ago so maybe I can take them over there and (shiver) play them on this phantom commode.
    Every night is curry night!

    I, for one think Germans are groovy.

    I've been to Germany, and sold loads of stuff to Germans through EBAY etc., and they are one of the friendliest nationalities I've ever met.


    This strange continuing attitude from the previous generations of English people stemming from WWII is bizarre. Though we often make jokes about German efficiency and authoritarianism, Germans like a joke and have fun just as much as (if not more than) everyone else.

    Though calling someone a Nazi is downright nasty. Most Britons should sympathise, especially as they've been freed from the dictatorship that was Margaret Thatcher. :) I would take utmost offence at being called a TORY.




    In the late 80's / early 90's, England could educate itself with excellent German TV shows (with loads of nudity in it) when we had the old analog satellite TV. RTL and SAT1 were good safe bets for a knocker or two on a Friday night :) It's a shame we've lost this 'multicultural entertainment' now everything's gone digital.

    I didn't mean kraut in a bad way, the same way as i don't mean frog in a bad way (french)..........or bastards (for you english w@nkers ;-) (i'm welsh and proud of my sheep related family tree, so don't start on that one!)

    'twas my first time in germany, and I love the place and the people

    good thing too, i may just be living there in a couple of months till end of october when I emigrate to Oz

    emigrate to Slovakia - growing sheep too, best sheep cheese and a special one: "bryndza" which cannot be exported without pasteurization (which spoils the genuine taste and consistence, bugger!, what are these EU foodstuffs standards for...?!), old german miners villages too...
    G! - That makes sense in BASIC 0:1

    Thatcher might have been a nightmare (too young back then to really care) but Tony Blair really has been very poor lately and i cant wait for him to go, the countries a right mess at the moment what with illegal immigrants, taking years and years to deport terrorists and other things. The countries a mess with him in charge.

    As for the germans i dont mind them at all, i like them as they always make me look very fashionable ! ;)

    Oooerr..... Blimey... After seeing 'HOSTEL' I don't know if I dare. After all, gangs of children, torture chambers, kidnapping... Of course it must all be true - movies never lie... ;)
