Does anyone want to see a photo of our Christmas tree, or as they say down there in Germany (you know the schism going on in NE chatbox...), Tannenbaum?

Sadly I can't give you photos of real Finnish Father Christmas (there is someone who prefers it British English...), as he doesn't "visit" us anymore... grinning

I want it. I want it. And what is Tannenbaum?

by **AOE_Fan** Sun 25 Dec 2011 - 0:56

Okay here you go (sadly I had to resize it a few pixels, as Imageshack didn't accept it but neither did Photobucket, but it's still large!):

Spoiler:

@Pepp: Tannenbaum is translation of "Christmas tree" in German. Though I heard that it's usually pine, while in Finland it's spruce.

I also have other photos of my house, I think I might post them on WotTA forums...

Great.

I can see presents! Razz

But what are those glowing white balls? Are they lights? I've never seen such a thing. :lol: thumbs up

by **AOE_Fan** Sun 25 Dec 2011 - 1:07

They aren't balls, they are Christmas tree candles. My camera just overreact with the lighting, as our downstairs (still) misses some lamps.

by **iliander** Sun 25 Dec 2011 - 1:10

Ok, I see.

Are you going to eat turkey too? Razz

Oh, and of course drink some Pepp

by **AOE_Fan** Sun 25 Dec 2011 - 6:13

Turkey, TURKEY?! No, we eat ham in Finland...

Most people do...

This reminds me of yesterday evening. Smile

Time goes so quick... Sad

Don't worry, you just need to wait 364 days to next Christmas, if it ever comes (remember: 21.12.12!). Razz

by **Pepp** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 1:58

Ehm, Mayans change their calendar and Christ change the day of his birthday?

by **iliander** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 2:42

Sure.... ¬¬

by **Pepp** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 2:52

And I haven't say Merry Christmas Very Happy

by **AOE_Fan** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 2:54

And I haven't said anything about your grammar yet [insert sarcasm smilie]...

by **Pepp** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 2:55

Thank you, I mean you're welcome.

So I see Dude adopted the american lifestyle and started overeating, but what does it have to do with Piracy? Smile

by **peugeot407** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 12:15

Nobody knows. I already invited him to the Free World, but it seems he doesn't want to come to the EU... Razz

I need to work on my Polish before I can return to the motherland. Razz

by **AOE_Fan** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 12:17

Eh, piratism = bad thing
---> bad things = jail trip

by **Pepp** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 13:34

Jail trip=away from internet, and it mean you will not know when the Prologue out.

by **peugeot407** Tue 27 Dec 2011 - 23:26

I disagree. The music and films industry has already found ways around illegal downloading, and it's time for the games industry to do the same, and stop this childish sueing of people who really haven't done all that much wrong.

When everyone can develop block-busting games, music and movies, we can have that.

by **Pepp** Wed 28 Dec 2011 - 3:13

Well, it is more correct "when every nation starts at the same line", or when everybody really "have some sum of money".

In Indonesia for example...

by **peugeot407** Wed 28 Dec 2011 - 3:50

Well, the internet has changed the world for the better, and it has also changed the world of copyrights. Either a government can follow the US idea and sue millions of people, or it can follow the EU idea and just let the companies think up a better solution. It's all going to end up in favour of the mob anyway, due to sheer People Power. Governments and companies cannot contain billions of people with laws that make no sense.
