uhhh it hurts a bit to post in a forum called "germania connection", but never mind...
I could never understand, why "german" is called "german" and is not to differ from "thelanguagespokeninaustra"...*selfexplaining isn´t it*

But:
littleNero, master of useless information is an Austrian!!
Pls. mention me in the Who´s who list...
Thanxs!

Hi there littleNero and welcome to GerMania!

(just another useless info: note the capital "M" please )

littleNero - have been looking for you. - You were in a conversation about books with AXR?

Hey, nice to find you, Trillian´s child!!
How did you manage the site´s hop to an english server?
As I saw, you are "befoerdert worden"...Congratulations!!

Absolutely marvellous, your h2g2 musicians-guild!!!

I am only a member of the Musician's Guild, although I did have a hand in the founding of the Choral Society.

My main work is with the GerManiaConnection, but officially I am a subeditor. All voluntary!!! It's great fun!

Had time to read the introduction zo the GerMania connection...

Nice idea to give possibility of asking a people what to do, or to live in the hometown of a connection member...
Last month, I had to stay in Frankfurt/Main and whould have needed an advise where to stay (My support booked me in a Hotel called "Mozart"...dreadful place!!) or where to have an evening beer..

Holladireidulioeh!
littleNero

Yes - I'm off to print out anything I can find on Dublin for my son's girlfriend, who's going to Ireland in the Easter Holidays.

..give him a copy of "Ulysses" J.Joyce... *lol*

I don´t think that there is another possibility to feel the irish way of life better than in this book...

Holladireidulioeh!

I'm not German and don't live in Germany. However, I lived in and around Freising, Bayern for 16 years. I still speak fluent German. I hope that qualifies me.

I didn't get the promised email from the new owners of H2G2, so only rediscovered the site a few weeks ago.

"Consistently Inconsistent"

Hello Ausnahmsweise! And no, you don't need to wear Lederhosen to be listed here
I'm not sure whether TC is still around or already off to England, so it could take some days to book you in.

As to the re-opening eMail, /nobody/ has received any Mark said all that he deemed necessary was to post a message to the eGroups/Yahoo board

Hi Bossel!

Glad to see you're still around.

Through a series of takeovers and acquistions I no longer have the German connection at work (Software AG, Darmstadt) - but that may change.

I "met" Kasia and exchanged a few emails (in German, outside of H2G2).

I did get an email asking me if I still wanted to be a scout. That's what brought my attention to the new site.

By the way - my computer's doing cancer research too.

I'm off tomorrow morning, Bossel. Coming your way - England was later on!!!

I think you're in the list already, Ausnahmsweise - at least in the "to do" list. I shall "do" the week after I get back. Promise. Nothing stopping me now.

So this is my last posting (practically ) before logging off for a whole week. Shall be near Passau - maybe I ought to look out Jeremy.

Have fun "Random".

Wow - Passau! Seems so far away. I was there a couple of times. Rode my bike from Muenchen to Budapest years ago. Have friends in Straubing, so was there a few years ago.

TC, so Ei wisch ju a väry pläsent hollidäi on juhr jurop raund-tripp! Änd Ei houp zat ze Pauers will acsept juhr offer to tränsläit and moderäite ziis Dschinglisch Konversäischens!

Bossel, kjuries about wezer the Mods kan ried zis...

AwÜ, are you a scout, or have you been one? I'm still pondering whether I should apply, but I've delayed that until some decision (or progress) about/with postings in German has been taken.

Hi Bossel,

I volunteered to become a scout a long time. I got an email from Anna just a couple of weeks ago asking if I was still willing. I registered on Yahoo and gave Anna my real name and address, etc. I think she's on vacation. So, I don't have badge yet, and I haven't seen anything on my calendar either.

I'm sure you could be a scout - with your command of English.

AwÜ

Thanks a lot!
There are some 14 volunteer waiting for an answer, over at the scouts' place, and I'm going to submit my application (once I found my Round Tuit)
