Ocktoberfest!

Ah the passive-aggressive, irrelevant God botherer.

Did you notice when I revised my sig I left you in there.

Yes we forgot how you became a skiing expert after just one visit.

To be fair, his German is already better than his English, so maybe he learns quickly.

That's exactly what I thought when I was there. Still I guess it gives Lord Haw Haw his once chance in the year to talk what passes for English with the obnoxious drunken Aussies who turn the place into a vomitorium.

<QI Alarm sound>

A vomitorium isn't somewhere people vomit, it's an exit under the seats in a theatre or stadium

I've been a couple of times, paid for and top table natch, and never again. Full of pissed up noisy obnoxious Aussies, Septics, Brits and a few other nationalities although I do enjoy some of the more traditional aspects. There are better fests such as the one in Stuttgart which is just as big. Sadly the Oktoberfest has strayed from its roots and is now just a big tourist show...

I've heard this before. And it's becoming a lot more expensive, €10 a litre is typical. But still it draws in the crowds, brings stories from afar. Indeed there too many beer gardens in Munch to list here, but if you stray from the tourist routes by going walkabout you'll find the tradition in no time.

Augstina beer garden has a good atmosphere at this time of year.

Touched a nerve did it?

You were probably sitting in front of the mirror.

I don't think it would be possible for someone like yourself to enjoy such a happy event no matter the circumstances.

I love the song and love Oktoberfest but sadly I will not be there this year.. too busy earning

Don't worry Sas, you sit back and enjoy a small dry sherry and read some 16th-century Russian poetry on your own instead.

I bet you've already watched the song more than once, miserable person!
