    Is it somewhere near Einfahrt? Never did find that either. And as for Umleitung, I reckon that must be in Bavaria.


    It's between Wankum and Titz.


    just off the A2 as they all told me.

    It's near Belifeld.
    Where the fcuk is Belifeld? Is it anywhere near that town of Route 2 called Bielefeld?
    As for Ausfahrt thats the best known street in BAOR aside from 10 mark alley and the Reeperbahn.

    I miss yellow handbags that were a valuable form of currency in lieu of cash. I had my mini cooper from Germany at Sennelager. Miss the JRC and shots of applekorn for 30pfgs a go (10p). The decent exchange rate of 4DM. The DM itself (hate the Euro). The brilliant gyros pitta mit tzatziki und pommes weiss that were on Stifstsallee in Minden. The RASS.
    Boring spotterknob.

    You spelt Apfelkorn wrong.
    Boring spotterknob :D

    I'm not surprised. You can barely remember what you did yesterday. Alzheimers - the gift that keeps on... ummmmm.... errrrrr..... I forget.
