    Hmmm....

    Using the the words "absurd" or "ridiculous" might be considered an attack ...

    Advanced search for posts with "absurd" Count 108 posts

    Advanced search for post with "absurd" and Doug Lord as the poster. Count 28 posts

    Doug Lord posts are 25.9% of the total posts with "absurd" ... there are over 8000 members here, yet one member is associated with more that 25% of the "absurd" posts.

    Ridiculous you say? ... Well lets look at that ...

    Advanced search for posts with "ridiculous" Count 175 posts

    Advanced search for posts with "ridiculous" and Doug Lord as the poster. Count 26 posts

    Doug Lord posts are only 14.8% of the total posts that contain "ridiculous".

    Does it seem ironic to anyone else that one member of over 8000 should use words like absurd and ridiculous to describe other posts and then start this thread?

    words

    Mr. Hough, you've only used the word "absurd" in 11% of the threads you've posted in and perhaps admirably, only used the word "ridiculous" in 5% of the threads where it has been used.
    However, you are the all time king of the use of
    "LMAO" -- which for those not yet attuned means "Laugh My *** Off"--- using it in 57.8% of the posts where it is used on this forum. And most of time you've used it to ridicule.....
    I have ,at times, described a COMMENT by an individual as absurd or ridiculous but rarely if ever have I used the terms to describe an individual. And I have NEVER used any term to ridicule fellow posters as you have (LMAO) or the kind of direct offensive personal attacks as used by "Dan S" , "Frosh" and a couple of others.

    Ridiculously absurd statistics. Very interesting, though.

    There certainly must be a more productive use of brainpower than compiling such "statistics". That said, reading the same is not much better. Think I'll go to a thread where I can actually learn something useful and/or give assistance to another.

    Can't we all just get along?

    Take care.

    I know its only a drawing but thats how they serve beer in Germany. The swiss are just as bad. They seem to be not concerned that they have just paid approximately 6 Dollars for half a glass of beer with the rest being horrible tasting foam stuff. Here in Thialand many Germans insist on this, and bang there fist on the table untill they get it. Then I turn up expecting a decent glass of beer and have to explain that Germans drink there beer like that but I dont. With an attitude to drinking like this is it no wonder they lost the war.

    I like it very much, particularly Muchen beer. There are some places there where the beer is home made in the cellar next door. I love it and I love Muchen; great city with good food and excellent beer. The brewery ambiance is not bad either:) smiling girls in traditional outfit make a positive contribution.

    About the price, I don’t know where you have been, but the price is about 6 euros for one of those big cups, with a liter inside. Not expensive, taking into account the quality.
