He sure is a fine specimin of a man.

yeah sounds great 7 days two on the boat Hook van Holland - Harwich then 4 nights in a cottage near Bodmin... greeeeeeeeeeeeeat

You got room for another?

You'll have a great time!

Well done Veela!

Congratulations. Now you see that hubbi's influence was a good one.

Excellent BB, congrats, but that means I havn't won it then

hey ...well done Bully/Veela ...exactly the right holiday for you ...if you've got any space left ... ...and all I got from Stena was a crappy pen

Well since i am taking my car and not Veelas, got an estate to fill up with shopping.
We will be staying 20 miles from my parents, so mum get dinner on

We will be taking the two youngest kids with us so sorry guys no room left
just all so short notice as its from the 7th - 13th October. Still we have both got our leave in ok.

sorry neilg but no you havent...

Ah thats ok then, no probs, I wouldn't have been able to make it then anyway.

I'd better start writing my shopping list then!

start writing Bombi...

Hello from the Krefeld Area. Me (German) & my Scottish Hubbie have been to the British Fair, too, I love this event and try to be there every year.

I have to mention I was very disapointed about the fish & chips stand this year. After almost 45 minutes waiting I noticed (totally shocked!! that the fish & chips man fried GERMAN "LIDL-SHOP" CHIPS instead of proper English chips and we didn't even get any Tatar sauce at all - like we always got in the last years. Just normal mayonnaise...uuuuh!

I said next year I'll try out the Chinese next door ...

Hope you don't mind my terrible English! My husband is too lazy to write here so I have to do it

Lony - are you kidding - your English is perfect - are you sure you're German??? You must have at least lived in the UK for a few years, as the way you use the language is fluent?

Just 1 spelling mistake - missing out a "p" in disappointed. But have you seen the spelling on most of our posts? Especially when we've had a few. Bye the way (good Scottish phrase that for your Hubbie, except usually goes at the end of a sentence, by the way), since being in Germany I have been personally embarrassed by the fact that many Germans seem to have a much better understanding of the technical parts of speech of English than most of us Brits. Probably comes from the way you are taught German formally, rather than us picking up English from scratch, & the way we are then taught it (or not) at school.

At the recent Britboard meetup in Köln we all had fish'n chips at an Irish Bar. In this case the fish was not proper fish cooked in batter, but more sort of soggily cooked in breadcrumbs - not even approaching the "Special" fish supper Hubbie might know.

PS - what so bad about Lidl - my daughter has just moved back to the UK (Edinburgh) & is waxing lyrical about her local Lidl - even finding the brand of apple juice she used to drink in Germany. She has become a true student in 1 week, delighting in saving a few pence by giving the local Tesco Metro a bodyswerve & using the Lidl instead

Hello Vloid,

oh no I like shopping at LIDL a lot!! I make LIDL chips myself at home... It was just that I was looking so much forward to "Mr. Fish & Chips" at the Burg Linn, because the food was really yummy in the last years and they had these proper thick English Chips and that wonderful Tartar Sauce and THAT was worth it standing for 45 Minutes in a queue, but not this time... but hey, we had a good time, the "British Days" are one of my favourite events every year. I just like the atmosphere there.

Hmm... I sometimes think my English is not good, because here at home I don't speak very much English. My husband says something in English to me and I usually reply in German (we decided this so that his German will improve).

I think, I know a lot of the words but sometimes I think my sentences make no sense or I try to say something and people understand it in a wrong sense...

I really like this board, it's a great idea!!! I will surf around a bit to read some more of the older threads! Lot's of greetings everybody and have a nice Sunday!!

from me too, welcome to the board. Pity we didnt know you were there otherwise you could have joined us for a drink. Yes the Chips van was disappointing, we waited for about an hour, but was better than nothing, Veela actually did go to the chinese next door So we should see you around the board then, correcting our spelling mistakes...

Eh??

(only joking!)

Welcome to the Bord (spot the mistake!).

found it two question marks after the 'Eh'
@Lony this is the best bored about...

Lony, these guys are taking the piss ... mit anderen Worten, die sind Dich am verarschen ...

Well all in true british humour... just having a bit of fun, i mean her English IS better than most of ours
as the Germans would say 'wurden wir dich verarschen'

Hello guys,

no worrieees, I have that special kind of humor myself , just ask my hubbie about it, he's really a poor husband sometimes

Just go on verarsching me , I am in such a good mood, I do have 10 days off in a row now!!! Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

.. and this is how you hope to win friends and influence people???

Bloody slacker ... but welcome anyway !!

Well maaph shall i piss you off even more...

Have our holiday to Cornwall now sorted. you know the one Veela won
Had a telephone call from Stena Lines and tomorrow someone is coming round to interview us and he is bringing a photographer with him. makes me famous again...

you can go off people...!!

So when are you off then?

congrats doggy-boy... when are you off then ???

Eh?, read back a couples of pages, see 60% of Brits would never date a German

Aah, OK, anyway congrats again !!!

( must of missed it when reading ,... )

...Hey Bully can come round tomorrow and be famous too ? ...I mean I was standing next to Veela when she filled out the form to win the holiday, I must have brought her luck

Press fotos have been done, will be on the British days country fair homepage in the next few days

maybe we should get your autograph now before the rush!

I'll send you one for 5 euro's
I mean i AM famous in more ways than one

is this something to do with your career in porn, coz I don't think that counts as fame if we have not all seen the films

iiigit - bully in porn movies??? <shudder> :doh:

the porn films i dont talk about any more, its magic

I hope that the picture will be posted here soon then ...

Once it is up on the official homepage i will post the link
Official pictures of the event are here Pictures but not our one yet

Well i have just got the first official picture through...

Left, The Stena Rep, Veela, bbulldog & Frau Kater the organiser, British Days

...does this mean I have to contact your agent first if we want to go for a beer now

Who knows where this fame could lead to...

Have a great holiday there though, I'll give you my shopping list when we meet up next week.

Aw, stop it Bombi, now you're just name dropping!

wanna buy an autograph?

maybe you should run some sort of quiz/competition on the board with a signed photo as first prize and an autograph as second prize

I've got to have some claim to fame haven't I!

Ok then, since i have been on the telly three times...

Yeah, nice Pics BB. Does Padstow really look like that? Must be over 20 yrs since I was there, and I have forgotton what it looked like.
