m-alexx Posted July 14, 2008 To do it in the anonymus alcoholics-style: Hi my name is alexx (not really) and i'm new here. since some time i'm very intrested in ethnobotany, so i already joined some forums in my home-country (germany). but to get a bit bigger picture and due to my interest in different acacias i thought about joining a mor international community. this one seemed very interesting so here i am. I'm in the 20ies and a student in international and tropical agriculture for people who are interested in this stuff. ah, and the reason, why i'm a bit confused is, that normally there is something like a thread for newcomers aso. i couldn't find anything like this here so i hope picking the first one was the right choice. so hope i can contribute some interesting info. bis denne alexx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted July 14, 2008 Welcome alexx! It's true we have no newcomers thread, we've tried these things a few times before and people ignore them so we don't bother Interested to hear what you have to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten Posted July 14, 2008 I don't think they ever dubbed Fawlty Towers into german Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilli Posted July 14, 2008 Well I assume alexx has a basic grasp of English, because the Germans say "of course" when asked if they speak English... anyway, that laff riot Evil Genius gets my references. I really hope I don't offend anyone. Much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Just spent 45 minutes to find out what a "laff riot" is! Ended up on a webpage about midget porn. Not sure how i got there. And on another one which mentioned that Bin Laden might use it as a nickname for his mother! It Cant be too bad then. Welcome m-alexx! You see, we´re crazy but lovely! The wild bunch of ethnobotany! bye Eg Edited July 14, 2008 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m-alexx Posted July 14, 2008 hiho first thank you for the nice welcome. the crazier the people the better (makes life a bit more exciting) regarding my english: it was enough to survive my 6 month here in india, but i think it's not really the right place to improve... but as long as you can faintly get a grasp of what i'm talking about it should be okay. fawlty towers was actually dubbed (at least in europe german is not sooo unimportant ^^) but it's like 15 years ago i watched it... remember me laughing so think i liked it. really hope i can contribute something to this forum, but there is already so much info here.... at least i can talk to same crazy other ethnobotanists so it should be fine. wish you the best alexx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
