In England - Sainsbury´s
In Germany - Globus (for a German Super-Market a very nice selection of spices and stuff, and their assortment of different brands of scotch is actually not to be scoffed at)
Just for a better understanding - in Germany there are exactly 7 different ways to season something - salt, pepper, no salt, no pepper, no salt but pepper, salt but no pepper
and ultimatly : salt and pepper xD
#80059 Urban Legends

Okay, first of all - this isn´t exacly an "urban legend" it´s more like the typical european ghost story.
So, from 1618 - 1648 the "thirty years´War" http://en.wikipedia....irty_Years'_War raged in Germany and devastated wide areas. Like many others, the town where I grew up was completely depopulated. The special condition about my home town is the large system of red sandstone caves running all underneath it - those caves where used during wartimes as shelter for the population. During the thirty years´War, however they had been used as an amunition depot. The legend tells, that a huge amount of the stored ammuntion there went off, burying lots of people. After the war, the caves were forgotten for several centuries - until theyr rediscovery in the late 19th century. During WWII they were -once again- used as a shelter or bunker system. Many of the people seeking shelter during the last War told storys of strangly antiquated clothed people they saw in the caves wandering around and suddenly dissapear from one moment to the other. About 10 years ago, the caves were renovated and closed off parts were reopened for visitors. During the works a part was reopened, that apparently had been closed off during a large scaled structural collapse ... the workers didn´t believe their eyes when the found the remains of almost 60 corpses - all from the time of the thirty years´War.
Im sorry if my English might be a bit "shaky" in this post ^^

I would recommend Code Geass ... and once again I would feel ripped off, if I had bought the BluRay Boxes in Germany ... I paid 18 Pound for each season in the UK ... in Germany it would have been 75 Euros ...

Heya Folks
Well, after finding this forum more or less by chance I suppose I´ll intruduce myself.
I´m Hal, 31 years old and working as an electrician. Im living in ... well thats sort of complicated. Right now, im commuting every two weeks between Stoke-on-trent in England and Germany.
So, what exactly am I doing in my spare free time ? Well, first of all I love music - usually Progressive Rock / Metal or Djent or I´m watching movies or TV - mostly Sci Fi or Fantasy. When I´m in Germany I sometimes try not to commit suicide on my motocycle or play Videogames.
If you got any questions, feel free to ask - I promise not to bite (if I had breakfast).

Well, can´t talk for my parents. But I guess my grandparents wouldn´t mind ... they´re living about 150 miles away from stoke xD. But I guess selling my house here in Germany would be the bigger problem ... and I honestly do not intend to let it ...

Well, I´m not sure ... the site exists since 2003 ...or 04 ? Well, for about 10 years - thats sure. But, if it should become indefinitely I´ll probably move to England - we´ll see.

I'm even more curious what rating the game will get here xD ( Homecoming
As well as Downfall both had to be cut to get the 18+ rating here)

Well, if you have a Gamecube get Eternal Darkness - I loved that Lovecraftian touch the game had. I´d also suggest to look into the Fatal Frame / Project Zero Games

And be sure to make some enquiries about the artist. Can't talk for other nations but my first tattoo ended up in a pretty nasty infection. Although the local reputation of the artist was pretty decent.
