[Sparkey]

Technically, I'm more German than he was, what with him being Austrian and all

i could go on on this but let's not clutter the thread or i will get spanked too by the mods....lol you make it difficult for me

That's just english with a really strong accent if you read it out loud

I thought it was the transcript of one of Doubleboost's youtube videos.

 

[Sparkey]

Say....i don't want to nag or something but.... i get told off for speaking Dutch but that Hitler pic doesn't seem to bother anyone? dunno...just saying....
Oh ok i will get back on the naughty step in the mods lounge now...

[slim_boy_fat]

^^ Behave, now.....

 

[cumbriasteve]

You were not told off, it is simply a rule of the forum, I certainly don't speak Dutch so would find it impossible to check the content and I don't have time to use a translating site to establish what has been said.

I only reminded everyone (not just you) of the rule after the conversation continued beyond the greetings stage..which I did not comment on

re the Hitler picture, it's not been reported by anyone so perhaps it is seen as the joke it was intended to be.

Feel free to leave the naughty step any time you wish

Feel free to leave the naughty step any time you wish

Ok!! but uh can i come back sometimes.... the food is better in the mods lounge...

As long as you don't fetch any of that posh French cuisine with you, snails, frogs legs etc, it's tatie pot or nowt

I was going to reply in Cumbrian but would have had to self moderate myself for non English
