There is a German thread???
Please guide me there. I only found one and it is about a game Emross. Not particularly interesting.

That's probably what I saw......I can't read German although I have managed to get by speaking (badly) when I've been in Germany. I can recognise German writing just not what the words mean!

The same goes for my English, which is why many of my answers will seem slightly unrelated to the topic posted in.

A german-speaking German stuck in Scotland. I have had better ideas.

I learnt Afrikaans in South Africa and I am told it is similar to german but before you ask, no I can't remember much apart from - een, twee, drie, vier, fyf, ses, seve, agt, Nege, tien. ( mind you my spelling is not good in Afrikaans either. Good morning - gooie more. Totsiens - goodbye. Is it similar?

Lol......to be honest, I have seen many of your posts and I would never have thought from reading them that your first language wasn't English.

I love Germany, haven't been for a few years now but have great memories from my few times staying over there with some German friends, hence my ability to converse albeit badly in German. Oh and I miss the curry wurst!

Guten morgan or something like that from my memory!

You are right Gab, I wouldn't have noticed without being told. You are virtually word perfect. Boerewors was a curled up sausage BBQ delicacy in SA

@Hayles

While those Afrikaans examples are understandable, I wouldn't consider them similar to German. However, I know virtually nothing about it's grammar and without that, I am ill-equipped to judge the similarities of those two languages.

Btw. what sails carried you all the way to South Africa?

I suppose it's a mixture of german and Dutch perhaps because they are the two countries who mostly populated SA originally. It was quite an easy language but I am just not good at remembering languages.

I used to have a secretary who, when she got wound up, would shout at us in Afrikaans........actually she could have been saying something pleasant but anything in Afrikaans seems to sound like an argument.......saying that she was very sweet!

I'm afraid I lived in the English part of South Africa in Natal where all the pommies used to live so I didn't have much access to Afrikaans speaking people to improve my Afrikaans. I do miss all South African delicacies.

I am back upon the UK. Got home from Heathrow by 3pm, threw on one of my new iPad pocketed suits (everyone at work impressed) and rushed off to work for a short while (lasted 5 hours, 4,more than I thought it would).

Attached my new windscreen iPad holder, works a dream.

No iPad 2's at Bluewater. I did a short hunt for all of you whilst tie and cufflink shopping.

I have therefore not had time to take let alone upload any of pics relating to the above. I will hopefully have more time tomorrow. Sorry.

Just downloaded tubewalker and trade nations. Will feedback on these soon.

Love baileys on ice also. I too have a sweet tooth.

Hello Cool!

Any of you guys us Moneysavingexpert website! This is how I found the cheapest iPhone deal and at the moment they are saying there is a free app usually £3 called Time out London, Paris and so on . Don't know if any of you are interested but worth a look if it's free. It's an iPhone app but still worth a look.

 

[iPad 2 is cool]

As promised here are pics of my new iPad windscreen holder. I picked it up in Kuwait for just £10. Not dad ehhhh.
