Found this on another site I visit, it's good fun.

I'm sure flying a plane is a bit harder than this though :) .

Those Romanians will do that to you, won't they Gadjo Dilo? :) :) :)

[gadjo_dilo]

Those dastardly Romanians will do that to you, won't they Gadjo Dilo? :) :) :)
There are a few citizens with darker skin who are capable of anything. :laugh:
What is "dastardly"?

I removed dastardly because I didn't want to cause offence, a literal meaning of dastardly is "dispicably cowardly", however that was not the meaning I wanted so I deleted it, I guess common usage would be "mean or nasty", hope that sort of explains it and I didn't mean anything bad about Romanians, honest!

Who cares? I don't have a good opinion about them myself. :laugh: :laugh:

BTW, what is "dispicably"?

Whoops, I don't know what dispicable is, my only excuse is that it is late and I've 1 or 2 more glasses of red vino than I should have, but I can sleep in tomorrow, yay!

27,000 odd points, I've discovered that my geographical knowledge of German cities is appalling and I haven't even heard of some of those eastern European ones :s
