Subscriber nudge+ 15,329 Posted March 2, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 2, 2018 You know you're having a great Friday when you're casually approached by a Jehovah's Witness sitting next to your table at a restaurant while you are waiting for your food, and have to learn about the imminent Armageddon, the Second Coming of Christ and the cleansing of the Earth. Just wanted to give you the all a heads up too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,622 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2018 Oh dear. Had a darts match last night (with a ridiculous amount of alcohol consumed), and now I have to be at the stadium in 3 1/2 hours. Time for a Konterbier soon, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,329 Posted March 4, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 4, 2018 Have fun, haha... I worked until late last night to finish all my urgent projects, so just got up a while ago. Ordered a pizza, will lay in bed and watch football/movies and drink beer the whole day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchalkeUK 402 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Interesting day - Marco and Joshua sign new extensions and Max sits on the bench with no offer worth even considering! At least there is still hope for the young ones in Dortmund and Munich! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,105 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So German friends, some of you know that I love German food and beers but I've a quick question for you: is it odd that I mix my spätzle with rotkohl and sauerkraut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's pretty common in some regions in South Germany and in Austria, especially the one with sauerkraut. They also often add some smoked meat into the mix.

Granted, I know her and we've had small talk a few times at the same restaurant in the past; she always brings her dog with her and I like to pet him, but I didn't know she was a Jehovah's Witness, and didn't expect her to suddenly go on a full apocalyptic mode Just told her I've got no interest in being saved and don't really care about the world ending either, that was enough for her to change the topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally mind if someone has a belief or something to say/sell etc but not keen on those that get right in your face with it, Having a break and a bit of chill time shouldn't be seen as an opportunity for someone to crowbar their views onto me and I don't tend to take kindly to that so normally do what you did and shut those conversations down quickly... We used to get 2 dear old ladies turning up our doorstep once a year selling the Watchtower and talking about God etc.. and I always used let them down gently though, I am not so subtle with those people that step right in front of you as you are walking round the shops selling the Big Issue or Clipboards and Surveys being waved in my face... I do think she had the right idea with the dog though... Slowly work her way in and lull you into a false sense of security then BLAM!! let you have it..

That dog is really lovely, haha. Nah, to be honest, I've always seen her as an old, lonely women far away from home, so I've always been nice and wasn't really annoyed, as she wasn't too pushy and knew when to stop once she noticed I'm really not interested. Still find it amusing how anyone would think it's possible to spark someone's interest by annoying them during their lunch break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
