What about English? Einstellungen

[Simonetta]

Oh, so you do have questions, after all. ;) But I don't have an answer to this one because although I've often heard the term "British humour", I can't think of an example right now. (Says an English teacher... :roetel:)

Can you give me an example so I can decide if I do?

[regenbogen]

Monty Python? :rolleyes:

[Simonetta]

Not really then, I suppose... :roetel: But I liked "Four weddings and a funeral"!

Isn't that British humour, too? :unsure:

[regenbogen]

I guess so - because I don't like Monty Python either but I like a lot of Brits, so their humour can't be all that weird. ;)

What characterises German humour for you? :gruebel:

[Simonetta]

I don't know! I find these questions so hard! I don't even know what's German! Unless it's that we take everything so seriously... ;)

What characterizes "German" for you?

[regenbogen]

well organised, hard-working... and yes, taking everything seriously :D
(and I comply with only one out of three - maybe I should change my passport? :rolleyes: )

Have you ever contemplated emigrating?

[Simonetta]

I do, all the time. :lol:

Where would you go?

[Mineau]

I'd probably go to Canada.

How about you?

[Simonetta]

Sweden.

Why don't you go?

[kawa]

I don't want to emigrate. (But never say never. :D)


Did it happen to you, that you said "never" and then you did it anyway?

[Simonetta]

Never! :P I've thought about this for a long time... and I don't know! I've probably done things that seemed unlikely to me before, or things I shouldn't do and then ended up doing... But I am probably too postmodern to say "never"... I don't know... This is a philosophical question! :lol:

Do you often reread e-mails or pms or even entries here at the messageboard that you yourself have written... or do you write them and then completely let them go?

[kawa]

I didn't mean to be philosphical... :roetel: :D

I often reread things I have written, so that I can remember what I revealed. ;)


And you?

[Simonetta]

I do, too. I like rereading them after a while. Rereading them right after I have sent them is something I also do, but I consider that a little bit neurotic... :ph34r:

Is there a special letter you wrote as a child or teenager that you would like to reread?

[kawa]

I would like to reread the letters that I wrote as a child to my grandmother.


Did you write letters to your grandparents as a child?

[Simonetta]

Sometimes - but mostly just when I was on holidays, because my grandparents all lived in the same town as we did.

Do you still write postcards when you are on holidays?

[kawa]

Yes, to my parents and to some friends.


If you write several postcards on a holiday, do you write the same on all cards?

[malene]

Certainly not. :rolleyes:


Do you?

[Simonetta]

Here's how I do it: I spend much time writing a million postcards with many different texts, then I reread them, think they sound completely stupid, throw them in the next paper bin - and tell people I just didn't get around to it. (Except my granny, she always gets a postcard, one way or another.)

What are you hopeless at?

[Mineau]

I am hopeless at keeping a straight/poker face while playing cards. At least, that's what I am told all the time. :ph34r: :lol:

What are you good at?

[krähenfuß]

:ph34r: Keeping a poker face while playing cards. :ph34r: (No pun intended!)

Will you participate in or visit any Christopher Street Day Parade this year?
