23 Oct 04 - 02:43 PM (#1304939) Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in Europe From: MudGuard The purpose is to confuse non-Munichians ;-) The Octoberfest always ends on the first Sunday in October and starts 2 weekends before that. In Munich, the Octoberfest is usually called "Wiesn" which is Bavarian for "Wiese" which means meadow - because the festival is taking place on a big peace of land covered with tarmac and pebbles. |

26 Oct 04 - 08:05 AM (#1307463) Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in Europe From: Wilfried Schaum The Oktoberfest doesn't take place on a peace - on this piece of pebbles it isn't so peaceful sometimes. Bavarians often tend to fight hammering their heads with steins. Reference story: Lawyer: "Defendant doesn't deny that he hit plaintiff over the head with a stein so that the skull broke. But as the expert witness testified plaintiff's skull is extremely weak. So I ask the jury: What has a man with such a weak skull to do in a beer tent?" Cheers Wilfried |

26 Oct 04 - 02:16 PM (#1307836) Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in Europe From: Mr Red Geoff the Duck I'm sorry to be a dampener but ducks can cope. The guy who first coined the Brum canal length story admitted 30 years later that he never checked the facts. I saw him on local TV saying it so it must be true. Now are we talking canals or canal length. And are we talking Brum in the 60's or with the addition of Sutton Coldfield and are we including any navigable drains and the Lake in Cannon Hill Park? Not that The Thame or the Rea are that navigable. I still wonder if it's true because he also claimed more canal miles than Amsterdam. |

29 Oct 04 - 11:57 AM (#1310617) Subject: RE: BS: jimmyt in Europe From: jimmyt Am writing from Venice Friday Evening. The High water (Acqua alta) was here this morning and made Venice even more of a challenge to vavigate in. Walking down a street, only to come to an area under a foot or so of water so you needed to backtrack and try to find an alternative route to wherever you are heading. Hope McGrath doesn,t encounter any deeper water than this, as it does make things a little difficult. It only lasts for a couple hours however. Am getting ready to go out to one last wonderful meal, then back to the states tomorrow AM. Will look forward to getting back to the cat more regularly. See you all soon. jimmyt |
