O! What LP? I'll so pay you back.

Worm: It just said KOMPRESSOR in big letters and had a Photo-shopped-looking picture of that rather odd fellow on the front of it. Didn't look genuine to me, and the woman was trying to flog it for fifteen quid, so I didn't buy. Sorry mate.

Will continue to look as week goes on.

Well, I can't really talk about the ups or downs of quid, still thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

Update: We went to the nearest town, Gießen, today, in order to enable me to hunt for music from all the obscure German bands I love. New Rammstein single was massively disappointing, but even the fact that bear-like singer Till Lindemann sounds like a heavy-smoking woman on it cannot quell my long-standing obsession with him. In Extremo album 'Sieben' is all right - how can you go wrong with bagpipes and guitars? - and sadly could not find anything by either Megaherz or the brilliant spin-off band that their lead singer Alex recently set up, Eisbrecher. If anyone else has requests for some hard-rockin' German soundz, just ask - I'm venturing into the gay-erotica-covered streets of Frankfurt in a few days to find dark, dingy, dangerous looking record stores where I may be able to find slightly more obscure items of musical and male-homosexual interest.

German buses are miuch cooler than British ones. A mysterious woman continuously announces the names of the next stops in a German porn star voice. 'Nächste Haltestelle, Fohhhnbachstrassehhh... Ohhst.' Cool.

Oh, and I found the best shop EVER: Bärentreff Fruchtummigeschäft. I remember these from last year, but I'd forgotten how utterly fantastic they were. It sells gummy sweets of all shapes imaginable, made from high-quality fruit and things, at fantastically low prices. They taste about three hundred times better than anything you cuold ever find anywhere else in the world, which is why I spent about $30 there. Stocked up on Gummy Fruitsalad, Gummy Cows and Gummy Playboys - did not buy any Gummy Playgirls this time around, because I bought some for Lex last time I was here and somehow managed to leave them in my German's little brother's room and incur the wrath of the Christians.

Sadly, the gummy sweets come in 1kg bags (Dunno what that is in American, probably about two pounds) and so I had to carry half my bodyweight in fruity treats around with me all day. Another lesson learned.

I think it's funny that it takes an out-of-country trip to get Keza to post up a storm. Nice, but funny.

I can't think of anything I'd want from Germany except maybe pictures of some of the real-life locations of some of the places shown in Gabriel Knight 2. I think those are all by Munich or something, though.

Vitriola, if you weren't female I may very well have asked you to marry me for knowing who Tanzwut are. :-P

I can't find ANY Tanzwut stuff at all, which is really disappointing. I couldn't find any last year either. If I see anything in Frankfurt, I'll buy two.

I think it's funny that it takes an out-of-country trip to get Keza to post up a storm. Nice, but funny.

Correction: It takes an out of country trip on Lex's behalf to get me posting up a storm. He's in Wales with no Internet, and so is unlikely to complain about me going away to the Land of Mighty German Cock without him, or similar. :-P

But yeah, being the only English speaker in a countryful of Germans begets a peculiar sort of isolation. I have a lot of time with my own thoughts, as they're easier to understand that fast-spoken West-accented German, and so I have more of an urge to write something down and tell folk what's going on.

You must learn to trust me, darling. I am offended at the mere suggestion that I would *anything* untoward with any of these fat, hairy Germans, especially when I have some perfectly good Scotch beef waiting back home.

And you're not getting any pictures. I have a present for you that is better.

Woo! Finally Keza, at last you will be like me! Oh yeah, when are you coming back, I've not stalked you in a while :-p.
