So, just been browsing the various threads. I see German is quickly becoming the second language of the board ;-)


I wouldn't call it German... Certainly none of the German board members seem to recognize it as such... :-D

Me too, but my curiosity is limited to translating about three Germanish posts in a thread; beyond that, my brain can't be bothered.

My dad was fluent in German, but pretty much refused to teach me. He was actually a teacher, but I guess he needed a break from that after work. It still would have been handy to pick up the language when I was young and keen, and had plenty of free time.My dad was Australian, but when he travelled in Germany, he was asked several times which part of Germany he came from; apparently he had a very neutral accent.

Oh well, lost opportunity.

Hm, I am not quite sure of the intended tone of this sentence. He was a good father, and taught me many things, but unfortunately not German.


I find it difficult to express myself in German, I did not mean to imply he was a bad man, only that it was odd/unfair of him to deny you the privilege of a second language when he was afforded such luxuary... I lament not being allowed to learn German as a child.

I will want for my own children to have at least two languages!

The only thing I know in German is Extermeniren!  I learned that from Doctor Who and the German speaking Daleks...


:lol: when you see "iren" on the end of a word it shows that the word is a foreign work that has been absorbed... German, like English has no problem using a foreign word if need be :-)

Hey all!

Sorry to hear about your mom Karlos... My grandma developed a bowel obstruction last year which turned out to be a tumor. I remember when she told me I almost cried into my f**king pizza. She's had a few months of chemo and had an op a few weeks back. Still in hospital, but recovering.


Hey Punkie!

Well, my Grandfather died in March, and the other died last Thursday... so I guess we have to expect these things now... but the most disturbing thing is seeing my Grandmother has started to develop Alzheimer's... that's very odd, once the memory goes the person is gone.

Mostly things are alright here. Could do with a few more friends in this town and had a painful girly experience at the start of the year. But I've been promoted, and even turned down a job at Hull uni, which everyone said should've filled me with pride, but I was so unsure about it all...



I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

It's nice to see some familiar names here!  :-)


Amiga.org... You'll never leave...

I'm sorry dude. :-( That's so weird, I hate the idea of losing everything I know.


Fortunately, she doesn't remember that she's ill... so I guess that probably for the best :-)

Still... How are your adventures in hi-fi going?? :-D


Just finished recording the video for our next single... so that should be cool!

"Painfully girly" experience could either mean an experience, possibly in prision, without proper preparation... Or a matter of the heart that went south... I suggest the latter :-)

I often do... *sniff*

I miss his dour wit and unfailing ability to hate everything and express it so eloquently...


Yes, I was always amazed how he had absolutely no love of anything, and never seemed to contradict himself... he had a mobius strip of hate... he was the MC Escher of disgust!
