What has Toytown ever done for you?

-Helped me find my apartment in Munich!
-Found a used bike to buy
-Got some free plants
-Great for socializing i.e. Tuesdays and sometimes on Weds (although Curry night´s gotten too big for me)
-Advice and consolation

given us something do to at 1:32 am?

What have you done for TT?

Well, I had a great social life. Lots of ups and downs. Made me a better person. I have people to reach for when I need them and vice-versa. I know a lot about Munich than majority of the Munchener Kindl here. Credits go to TT, the website.

Well seeing as I'm not in Munich anymore, it's not done a lot in the way of meetup and the like, but it's brought many a smile to my face of "A Smile a Day Keeps the Doctor Away", then I'll never be sick again.

Given me something to do at work

The aqueducts

Power!
No, just lots of people with whom to speak English and an insight of how newbies see Munich.

Helped me find english speakers to be friends with, thus giving me a social life here.
Introduced me to my fiancee
Gave me something to do at work while I was just trying to waste time in a job I hated.
Now something to do while I'm hoome during the day.

Its been the cause of most of my hangovers!

First job here, first couple of apartments, a bunch of my belongings, a bunch of my friends, somewhere to whinge and/or wind up whingers and far, far too much information about peoples sex lives and other private things that I always read but then wish I hadn't.

It's given me:
1. My closest pal in Munich (no it's not who you think it is and no it's not Rus, either)
2. A job
3. Native English-speaking friends
4. Familiarity with Cockney slang
5. A place to spend the Christmas holidays

Yes, Toytown loves me longtime.

Oh yeah, forgot to put Cirrhosis of the Liver on my list.

Ok Ok!
Apart from the "Things to do at work, The Social Life, Places To Live, Friendship, job opportunities and finding stuff to buy"

What has Toytown ever done for you!

I dunno. Apart from that it's been pretty useless.

It saved me from the demeaning work at a certain helicopter firm. Introduced me to some Southern Caaaants, you know who you are and to the different flavours of bubble Gum.

hell you guys got sooo much out of TT, i guess i should not write anything as mundane as "got me laid", yes damn visceral urges!

- furntiure
- bike (got stolen)
- daily news and more views
- less work and more time on TT

A fine, fine open mic once a month, with Dj's, magicians, musicians, thespians, dancers, and an exquisitely judgmental audience to tell every damned one of them exactly what they thought of their performance.

Oh, and all that other stuff, too. Plus a place to be cranky during the 2004 election season--very important for this Yank.

Fantasy Football!

Toytown did a lot for some people (who ended up doing each other)

Well when I joined, it distracted me from my work and encouraged me to go off down the pub afterwards where I made some very good pals.
One of whom whisked me off to Paris last spring to watch the rugby then fly back to Munich, dash to the Arc, watch Ireland vs. England, get talking to a dashing gent sitting with some more of my pals and nearly a year later, I got an Fiskars axe for Christmas.
So, Toytown Munich has enabled me to get an axe for Christmas.
Not a bad deal at all.

made me remember how badly i type and spell. and stopped me surfing for free animal porn.

@Gideon
You know where to find that?

TT introduced me to the people that made my 4 months in Munich absolutely great, gave me a great friend, and left me with a distroyed liver.
I never knew I was such a great artist before joining TT survivor, the one that also made me a Poker adict.
I guess that more importantly, I learnt a lot about beers and pubs of a place that was new to me.
But mainly, it made me start using the word "loo" which I love

1. 2 jobs (one of which I still have!)
2. an appearance in a German fashion magazine
3. one of my best friends
4. numerous household goods
5. the feeling that I'm not alone in my strange new town (not so new and certainly not so strange anymore!)
6. confirmed that most people are weird, or mean, or just have nothing better to do Keep it up, though... cuz it's just darn good reading...

I'll PM you later...

The Open Mic. Definitely...

Two words: Touch Rugby

Three words: Bad min ton

Yep, those ridiculously coloured thread about how somebody has to run more, or go long, or whatever the fuck it was used to crack me up, and provided at least 3 minutes of light amusement.

TT saved me from having to learn krout and integrate with anybody whatsoever. It also provided a crack and half on tuesdays, which used to be ace, but no longer hold much interest.
Quite frankly, now I use Toytown as THE definitive resource on Munich. There is nothing that comes close, not even in the locals strange venacular.

A nice sofa
My local pub (though that might have been there even without, but who knows?)
An updated website
Some business contacts
A bike - is that the most common thing, other than hangovers, so far?
Lots of nice people and some good friends
A trip to Italy
Several excellent, excellent meals and different wines
Tickets and more appreciation to the opera
A suite in a hotel for one night!!
An extremely effective way of killing time.

It gave my business a good kick start when it opened and also ensured that word spread about it in the English speaking community.

On a more personal note - it has helped my social life immensly, and been responsible for many drunken nights out and meeting a lot of great people. Many of whom I regard as good friends.

allowed me to find the Arc burger! Unfortunately, that lead to me to also finding that freshman 15lbs that I got rid of a couple years back.
