Save the Hive, Save the ENWorld!

I'd like to complain about the fact that everybody complains about his country complaining a lot.

I think the entire world (especially the French) would rather see complaining Germans then Angry Germans.

Hey thats out schtick get off it and i'm pretty sure Mallorca is our holiday destination too

Hey, I came to you Brits hoping that you were more... classy!

I'd like to complain about the fact that everybody complains about his country complaining a lot. It's clearly the German that do it most, and the others are just pale imitations of the real deal!

So true. And since I switch between being in Germany and UK, I have to say: It's the language. Something about German just leads to complaining. I think it's the very matter-of-fact sound... and the harsh way of speaking - you simply have to be a morose OR angry streak. English sounds to energetic and cheerful to be in a constantly bad mood (like so many Germans) - and have more booze.

Cheers, LT.

Congrats on your 3k!

And welcome to all new Hivers. My name is Tallarn, and I am somewhat of an elder Statesman in terms of Hive-ish-ness, having been posting to Hive threads since they started in, oooh, about 2001.

Which is just scary, frankly.

Without wishing to blow my own trumpet too much, if anyone would like to offer any critique of the stuff that's on my Obsidian Portal pages (via my sig) I'd much appreciate it.

Remember kids when it comes to genocide just say No!

No survivors!

Right?
Eh?

I'm not sure that's entirely the right idea, to be honest.

By the way, is everyone aware of http://tvtropes.org? If you're not, I guarantee that you'll like it...

Quiet in the Hive today.
