Get a room guys!!
Malcolm, fortunately I’m not Icelandic, 'cos I really hate fish. Technically speaking, I’m a Kraut but I try to keep it quiet otherwise I end up having to apologise for Angela Merkel.
Well, what a lovely warm welcome. Thank you all. I’m sure that I will enjoy myself and I hope that I can entertain some of you, or all of you but not none of you…Oh you know what I mean.
I promise to try and behave myself and keep out of trouble…
Hello Fire & Ice, welcome to the owd fogies forum 
I’m sure Torville and Dean did something on the ice called Fire and Ice ? 
Old fogies?? Pah, we’re the Hawaiis!
Are you saying that you’re a holiday island that erupts from time to time ? 
Well I have been known to erupt now and then but we are the big Five-0

Hello and welcome to the forum
I suspect that there are very few Germans who agree with what Murky has done.
BTW, technically speaking, my wife is a Kraut. She was born in the hospital at Rinteln when her dad was in the Army.
There is nothing wrong with Germany, or German people, but I have to say I wouldn’t like to be living there at the moment!
I agree. I have always respected the Krauts. They work hard and their industries are successful, largely because their management and unions have learnt to work together, unlike ours.
We’ve been on holiday in Germany several times and we’re going to the Black Forest in June. Hopefully, we will not be besieged by their migrants.
I can only speak for the Bavarians but they are bouncing off the ceiling. Does anyone remember a few months ago when the governor of Landshut loaded a bus with migrants and sent it of to Berlin? The Bavarians are a grand bunch but don’t suffer fools.
I remember. Murky sent it back, didn’t she?
Clearly, whilst she remains in office she’s doing a grand job of splitting the country apart. So it’s not only Cameron; the Germans have their own idiot as well.
Been a long time since I visited the Schwarzwald but it is lovely. We flew into Munich just before Christmas and drove to Salzberg for the Christmas markets and was unpleasantly surprised at the number of migrants in Munich… I kind of hoped that it was a lot of media hype.
I don’t know. Look at the figures; and those are the ones they know about. Germany has more than any other European country.
Karl matey good afternoon and welcome. Spent a couple of very happy hours in the Hofbrauhaus drinking schnapps.
Joe, thanks for the welcome, I cant think of a better use of two hours, Our guest house was just up the road from the city centre opposite the main station but after a flight and train ride we just wanted to throw sausages in our faces and go to bed and there was a very nice restaurant just up the road…
For anyone flying in or out of Munich, I recommend a bottle of “Blutwurz” which is a very nice after dinner tipple… As with almost all Bavarian things it involves herbs and alcohol along the same lines of Underberg and Jagermeister
Hi, don’t do what other new members do, IE, go into meltdown.
Groan…
Welcome on board matey…
