Hallo from swabia!

[rocknrollo]

Hey there! I'm Roland, hailing from Germany and just ordered a Mark II kit...really excited to build it and of course playing it since I always wanted something Mosrite-ish. I plan on making it purple since my daughter urged me to, haha. We´ll see how that is gonna work out! Cheers!

Hi Roland, and welcome.

Start a build diary, post pictures,ask questions and just have fun. Hope the build goes well.

Hey there :-)

I used to be a Swabian, too. But then, I emigrated to the northern hemisphere. Now they call me a Fischkopp.

I would have thought they have a lot more "Fisch" in the north than in the south. Unless they mean Forelle?

They do! The southern Germans tend to call the northern Germans "Fischköppe" - "Fish heads". Because obviously, here in the north, there is not much going on besides fish. And bad weather. (Yes, Germans have funny prejudices about people from other parts of Germany.)

Seems like the 'tribalism condition' is global. Humans as I often have to remind myself are essentially pack animals.

cheers, Mark.
