You'll love it, and that's guaranteed! Now learn the song, you'll regret it if you don't.

It's cheesey as fook but i'll do anything for a laugh

My social skills are fine.

Sweet Jesus and all his merry disciples

The scary part is he believes it.

Not really. It's just you're not very bright and your command of English is deficient.

I understood what you meant just fine; that doesn't excuse your poor composition skills.

My social skills are fine. I don't stand fools gladly, though.

You are neither as bright as you think, nor as pleasant as are you are bright.

I'd exchange you forte in the English language for a command in social skills if I were you. A beer or ten might help.

Not a bad biergarten, you might want to try out the Starkbierfest in the Augustinerkeller:

Think I already have, it's got a slight spiciness to it if memory serves.

Writing well-formed sentences apparently isn't your strong point. What a garbled mess.

If you had gone native you'd call it Wiesn.

My daughter is more native, she's fast picking up the lingo. I've no idea what she's saying half the time.

Wrong again. Just like your unjustified belief in a supernatural being. And quite a lot else.
Judgement never was your strong point, obviously.

Unlike you I'm not Billy No-Mates in a country that despises its gasterbeiters.
Still I hope you get some company to alleviate your dull existence.
Even a bunch of cretinous, obnoxious Aussies is better than nothing, eh?

Posts like this are a nice reminder why I moved out of London. So many rude people, with nobody acknowledging your existence. A very unfriendly smog filled city.

Glasgow was a delight to return to at the time, and now here in Munich I know all my neighbours that occupy the same building and several across the street. Did not know a single neighbour whilst living in London.

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.

Not a bad biergarten, you might want to try out the Starkbierfest in the Augustinerkeller:

Triumphator: 18,2% Stammwürze, 7,6% Alkohol. Malziger, leicht süßlich-karamellartiger Geschmack. Löwenbräu/Spaten-Brauerei (auch in den Hofbräu-Häusern).
Maximator: 7,5% Alkohol. Süffiger, dunkler Doppelbock klösterlichen Ursprungs. Augustiner-Brauerei.
St. Jakobus: 19,5% Stammwürze, 7,5% Alkohol. „Das einzige blonde Frühjahrs-Starkbier“. Forschungsbrauerei Jakob, Perlach.
Animator: 19,3% Stammwürze, 8,1% Alkohol. Das Stärkste in München mit 19% Stammwürze und 7,8% Alkohol. Hacker-Pschorr.
Giesinger Sternhagel: Stammwürze unbekannt, 9,5% Alkohol. "Weizen-Triple-Bock”, fruchtig-aromatisch. Giesinger Bräu.

Many of my skiing fraternity have pondered this over a litre of beer, don't remember the answer strangely.

If you had gone native you'd call it Wiesn.

I wonder why its called Okterberfest when its held in September?

linky

The historical background: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. The festivities began on October 12, 1810 and ended on October 17th with a horse race. In the following years, the celebrations were repeated and, later, the festival was prolonged and moved forward into September.

By moving the festivities up, it allowed for better weather conditions. Because the September nights were warmer, the visitors were able to enjoy the gardens outside the tents and the stroll over “die Wiesen” or the fields much longer without feeling chilly. Historically, the last Oktoberfest weekend was in October and this tradition continues into present times.

Always ends in the first week of October I think.. sounds better than Septemberfest I suppose!

You're still Billy no-mates though.
