German forum

[gareth]

Hi all,

I thought I'll just post this link:

php.klassikakzente.de/phorum-3.4.8a/list.php?f=5

It's a German classical forum, and there's two Gerrits exchanging messages there - except that one initially presented himself as S.W. The thread he started is called "Wieso Hayley Westenra" (which means "Hayley Westenra? What about her?").

And when I posted a message yesterday called "Wieso S.W."- I sufficiently needled the chap to post a reply. Which is exactly what I wanted - I want that thread to stay alive - because it gives Hayley publicity.

So if anyone feels like joining the fun - please join, and let's make this the most successful German forum thread about Hayley. You can write in English there - those Germans do understand English .

Gerrit (K.) (the other one there is Gerrit S.)

And - to put a personal detail here, Gerrit S. presents himself as Gerrit Stolte. Now, my mother died 35 years ago. Then my dad married a widow - who was previously married to a Gerrit Stolte ... a very odd experience ...

Hi Gerrit,

I went to the German forum and read those messages. It didn't do me a lot of good - I can read German, but have no idea what it says. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I worked out most of the supportive messages, with some help from babelfish! I'd say the "other" Gerrit is out-numbered by the Germans, never mind us!

I did understand what Gerrit and Simon said... for now they don't seem to need much help

Well, perhaps it is just as well you don't have any idea what it says - I can tell you that my 'alter ego' there was very uncomplimentary - and even unparliamentary - about Hayley .

In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at being able to sufficiently needle the Hayley detractors there to keep the thread alive. But perhaps my remarks there about my family history floored my alter ego .
