Grüß Gott Ispom! You fooled me. You are not a Pom at all!

sorry.. could not resist.

[ispom]

Grüß Gott, janoskiss !
do you are a banterer?

I'll explain my nick:

My cat on the avatar is named "Mopsi" (read it reversed!)

and "Grüß Gott" the peeople greet in Southern Germany,
but I live in the North (100 km northern of Berlin), here one says "moin, moin!"

Grüße von Ispom

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

"Grüß Gott" I learnt in Austria (I think...) and remembered it thanks to Kusturica and his No Smoking Orchestra, their song "Grüß Gott Trauer".

it is ok, janoskiss.

the Germans in Bavaria, Swabian and Austria great so.
in the middle one says mostly “Guten Tag”
and only in the North “moin, moin”.

(that forsuchoccasions you will visit us again )

Hi Grube, thats a decent looking scope that you have and a fine looking cat as well. I am a cat person also.
I see also from your picture that you have the same cloud problem up north as we do down under .

Did you get to see Comet Swan when it brightened up recently?

cheers

Hi Ric,
I think, you are speaking to me (who is Grube?)

my scope is manufactured by Carl Zeiss,
and Mopsi is very interested for my doing in the darkness

No, sorry, when comet Swan was brightened, we always had cloudy skies

[astroron (Ron)]

ispom, I used to live in Bielefeld North Rhien Westfalia many years ago, what is the name of your town or city?
I hope you enjoy your stay on our site

[ispom]

Hi Ispom, sorry about the name mix up
