    Yeah, because people was begging to know who played who in the 3rd tier of German football.

    Actually I have a Germany-related ticket question. I got a parking ticket at the nazi / world war museum at Nuremberg. Basically it was for inadvertently parking in a disabled bay. Unlike in the UK , they don't paint big symbols in the space and there was a tiny sign partially obscured by branches when I checked in disbelief. The ticket was all in German and I had to ask someone what it said. No one could tell me where to pay. I tried about three banks, two post offices and gave up as we were travelling across Europe and had to get going. So, I never heard owt but am going to Hamburg later this year. Will I face a big fine? Or do I just need to avoid Bavaria...

    You should have wrapped a burning tyre round the speed camera and the bloke holding it

    Speed cameras in Germany are usually a dark green colour, and they hide them in the grass or in a corner on a tripod and then come and collect them a few hours later. Proper sneaky, but if you don't speed you have nowt to worry about!

    Good question, and I'm not sure on a definitive answer as I've never had a parking fine before! Maybe Stahlrost can answer that one for you.

    It's very fair over here tbh. The faster you go, the bigger the fine and then points come in to play.

    Some fines for speeding on the autobahn can be as little as 10€

    Funnily enough, I don't actually think I've posted the 3. Liga fixtures, but feel free to prove me wrong.

    Do you think just because you're not interested in German or foreign football nobody else is?

    There's posters on here who have allegiances towards Gladbach, St Pauli, Union Berlin and Fortuna Düsseldorf, where I actually met a poster towards the end of last season. I've had messages from someone asking for help with Bayern tickets, someone expressed their desire to visit Dortmund and someone even asked for Polish fixtures.

    That doesn't count though, because it doesn't interest you, you narrow minded lovely person. Enjoy your Thursday :)

    Explain the need to mention German football related topics in a thread about Marc Roberts going to Birmingham? Explain the need to update us every day on what has happened to you today whilst out and about in a German town?

    You might have the odd bloke asking about how to get tickets but you repeat the same old ******** every single day. It's either German motorways, German beer, German football, you're German 'friends' and now even German speeding tickets.

    Fair enough and all that but 99% of people on this forum do not want their threads hijacking by you just so you can make some irrelevant comment that involves summat ******* German.

    The irony of it all when you're saying I'm a narrow minded **** hahaha, brilliant that! You're one of the most selfish posters on here and you're treatment of certain posters on here is embarrassing.

    I'll put it this way, Barnsley Loyal left a comment a while back now about whether anyone had ever been to Ibrox before. Guess what happened? You replied with "who gives a **** about Rangers? Keep you're sectarian views away from this board"

    No sectarian comments was ever made in that thread. So basically you're not just a fool, you're a hypocrite! You dislike it when someone else posts about another club yet you spend you're full day hijacking threads comparing Brad Ash leaving for wherever the **** he's gone to to how 1860 Munich once sold a player to non league German side...

    Sad little man.

    Around 1992 or 1993 I was caught in a Black Forest village "speeding". Must have been doing 26 or 27 mph and there was a green uniformed officer waiting just around the corner with his hand up. I was driving a UK registered car so he told me in broken English that I had been speeding and if I gave him DM20 "it would be ok". No ticket, nothing in writing. He just took the twenty mark note and waved me on my way o_O

    I almost missed this within the nonsense. Similar happened to us in Bosnia last year, just paid it and didn't question it! Problem in Germany is when the good weather begins, they hide cameras everywhere. In bus stops, long grass, bushes, etc. They even have cameras on the Autobahn measuring distances too.

    Sneaky, hiding them like that but you can't blame them for trying anything to generate income, and improve road safety of course.

    I don't visit Germany much these days but every time I have been on an autobahn I have expected to see a serious pile up. I would be cruising happily in the upper nineties, or just over a hundred, and then be shocked to see 3 or 4 shooting past me in close formation (usually BMWs or Mercs). How these people think it's a good idea to drive like that (at around 150 mph) beats me. If the government are trying to crack down on that then it's a good thing. A hundred is fast enough for anybody, surely :)
