After looking Lobscourse up.....I have found out that it is called Lobby here.....and it is great to have on a winter's day....the recipe is on the second link.....but if I don't want to butcher a Swede....the veg not the person.....then I use turnips.....

Lobby is actually a cognate of Scouse. The dish was brought to the North West of England by German and Dutch sailors who called it 'Labscaus' or 'Lobscouse'. The name has nothing to do with 'lobbing' anything in the pot, duck.

Jesus Christ the level here goes down to zero here......
Labscourse just the name is disgusting and if I look at it..... grmpfgrmpffff
Than thios is a dish from the northern area in Germany we Schwabians call the "Fischkoeppe" People from Hamburg for instance have their umbrellas always to avoid rain is getting in their noses. This comes because Hamburg citizens are quite often such arrogant that their noses are the highest point of their bodies....

No no, back to seriousity, this is all nothning than sarcasm and ironic talking we Schwabians always do when there are northern Germans around. at the end of the day it is not important if one is from Hamburg, Timbuktu, Titicaca Lake, Rubbishburg or Wanker Valley, its just important to meet nice people wherever they might come from.

Haaaaahahhahha... I am so rolling on the floor with laughter right now !!! Good grief, Ben, you are such a hypersensitive creature, aren´t you? Ok.. let me grab myself another bottle of wine here, cheers !

Btw.. I always thought "Lapskoussi" (in Finnish) was a traditional dish from the West Coast of Finland where I come from... I am SO disappointed, crashed, bomboglaaaaddd...

Hypersensitive people in my job... what an ambivalence in itself

I guess I wouldn´t survive 10 mins if beeing hypersensitive but ironic and sarcasm helps sometimes to make the day quite easier

Self-irony and spreading the hands the Mediterranean way helps us get through the life !

Especially in Greece these days?????

[Guest]

:? Especially in Greece these days?????

ESPECIALLY !!!! Oh, phhhleeaase, don´t get me started !! We are SO off topic if I do ....

[Scorpions Truck]

Yes we are off topic so quickly back to what we are here for

There´s a show starting in half an hour so I gotta run to be ready for it and see if Rouen is able to rock the house like Paris or Lisbon did it.

Delphine is here as well so be patient for her and my reports tomorrow


Rock on Folks!!!!

[Gabi6912]

Ok, but this little "off-topic" was super-funny.

I am looking forward to your reports Del, and Ben.

Hello FOSer´s of all the world where ever You are
To begin let me use a quote from the king of pop, the unforgotten Michael Jackson:

THIS IS IT!!

the four weeks in France are over and most important at all, everyone is back healthy.
It´s been phantastic to see all of You celebrating each and every show, Your enthusiasm did not only reflect to the band, it also reached the sCREWpions backstage and FOH. All of us really appreciated the hospitality of Switzerland Portugal and France. First Geneva than the incredible fans in Lisbon - my ears are still ringin when I recall this crowd, Lyon, than Toulon Toulouse and Bordeaux after this Montpellier. Followed by the unfortunate cancellation of the Tours gig we came to Paris where my personal expectations have been exceeded - what an audience!!!! Rouen with just half the capacity of Paris but the crowd´s noise was as if it was POB.
Finally Brussels, wow...... I think I can say the band is proud to have fans like You, cuz You didn´t just come to a show, You travelled from all over the world to Brussels, made a party the day before and continued it the next morning while queuing up early in front of Forest National. Therefore I´d like to suggest You should no longer call Yourself FOSers, just call Yourself "FOSer´s-Family". There was almost every continent present, maybe the Eskimo´s couldn´t sent some fans, but I am sure that we can find FOSers also at Greenland and in the north of Canada and Alaska.

Is there anywhere a place in this world where nobody knows the Scorpions?
I guess not.

I do not wanna rank a show, it´s been 10 shows in three countries and every nite I could see countless smiling faces enjoying what they´ve seen, what they´ve heard. A fool who doesn´t agree this was an outstanding tour with outstanding fans

THANKS a lot to everyone who was envolved, first all of to the FOSers family, the management, the promoters, the countless helpers from different local crews, the tech road crew from MPM France, the tech crew and the Tapada crew from Lisbon, the caterers, the limo, bus, and truck drivers and last but not least

Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Matthias Jabs, James Kottak and Pawel Maciwoda,

collectivly known as


THE SCORPIONS

So history calls Michael Jackson the king of pop, I leave it to the FOSers-Family to find the well deserved name to this band

Thanks also giving me the opportunity to let the FOSers family give a little information about what happens on a tour, it was my pleasure and I had a lot of fun doing it. Hope You had fun too folks....

See You in Tours at Dec 10th or anywhere in 2012

[Engel-Wegweiser]

Hey, there were great words =)) Though I couldn't be with FOS in November, I'm happy for them and I really hope we will meet next year! For me FOS and Scorpions became something like a union which makes me feel so highly positive! I adore all of them!

[Guest]

Ben, no words are enough to express how happy and lucky we feel having you around here ! This was one of the bests threads ever : honest, clever, funny and informative ! It was a pleasure to take part in it, thank you !

[Gabi6912]

Allthough I couldn't join to any concert the last four weeks, following the happenings with your funny, and informative guiding was waluable for me, Ben.
Thank you for your active presence at the forum, I so hope a similar continuing the next year.

Screwpions, thank you for your important work in the whole year.
I know, technically any show couldn't exist without your hard work.

Scorpions, thank you for your fantastic shows that I could attend in person, and those that I couldn't, but got good "tasters" of the atmosphere from other Fosers.

I wish all ourselves another, unforgettable rocking, Scorpionized year in 2012.

[Nadin]

Yep, Ben, I also would like to join all the words that Dasha, Le4nita and Gabi said above!!!
Cause I also want to thank you for being here on the forum, for your informative, funny and clever posts!
And It also was a great pleasure for me to communicate with you here! ( I wish I could meet you in person in Brussels ( well, i don't count my "hi" to you just before the show))/.
Once again, You a really a Great Man with a warm big geart and soul!!!!
And of course thank you and all the sCREWpions for your work! Cause yep, without your work there wouldn't be any show possible...
And btw, I think this surprise in Brussels show also was not without your help - and I am so thankful to you for it
So now have good rest, finally you will see your family, and I wish you to have a great time with them!
And, who knows, maybe somehow we'll meet on the way in 2012!!!

[Delphine]

Hi everybody !

I'm "almost" back home after more than 4000km.... (still 800km tomorrow to be at my home)
Rouen was really great, the audience was unbelievable.
We laught a lot with Alizé's mother (Mline) during the show, we tried to move in same time but can arrived to do it.

And what I can I say about Brussel ..... "In trance" and "No one like you", the pyro ..... an other day to laught with Alizé and her mun. Met some FOSer, Natalia, Haleyna, Nadya, Ashlie, Ron, Kristoff, Hans, Katrina, Emilie; Diego .......
See the smiling face of Curry after the M&G, stars in her eyes and smile to the hears.
awesome

My desapointed point is than I caught a cold in Paris and should make playback for Rouen and Brussels

SO, I'm waiting for Tours now.

[Guest]

Came from Canada and saw the first three shows in France, great crowds couldn't belief the reaction the fans gave the band and on how the band paid the fans back with 110%

[Gabi6912]

Thank you for your report about Rouen, and Brussel Del.
Have a fast recovery, and a good rest at home.

[Delphine]
