Hi there - I'm a big comedy fan from all eras. Of course there are too many shows to name but some favourites include Jam, Porridge, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, One Foot in the Grave, Steptoe, Alan Partridge, Blackadder, Brass Eye, Father Ted etc etc etc.
In my spare time I do a podcast with a mate from Manchester who's also living here in Germany where we just chat about whatever crops up (link in the "www" thing just below - hint hint).
So yeah, hello!
Welcome, Michael. 
Your name is like that silly-door-opening-slidey-man-with-the-goofy-hair-do.

Hello!
Yeah, it makes it pretty hard for anyone to find me in Google (which I guess is a good thing).

I'm English but my German girlfriend dragged me out to live with her in Hamburg. How about you? Schweizer or an ex-pat?
I'm a Swiss (from the German speaking part of Switzerland) who likes British comedy and the English language.
So are we allowed to speak a little German here or is that against the forum rules?
I'd object more to French.
I think only French is banned from this site...but ask Aaron to make sure.
I don't know if you're interested in (German) football but the coach of your HSV was the coach of my FC Basel before he went to Hamburg. Stop stealing our good men...ihr Schweinehunde!

EDIT: I seem to know how Aaron's mind works.
Yeah he seems to be doing a decent job, though it's not so easy to crack the top 3 to get into the Champions League. Wasn't Fink the manager of Basel when they did one over on Man Utd? Fair play to the man!
I've still not really been able to get into the football over here. I guess it's because I don't really have a team to support - been to see HSV quite a few times and St Pauli once... the atmosphere at St Pauli was superb but the quality is lacking!
It's easier to stick to being an armchair fan, watching the Premiership on Sky

Fink started that season as coach but had to leave shortly before this great match when the club learned about his new contract with HSV.
It was the biggest international moment of my FC Basel. Reaching the 1/8 finals of the Champions League by kicking out such a big name at the same time. And Fink is the man behind that success.
Let's hope the HSV will kick some Bavarian asses.
Welcome to BCG!!!
Welcome Micahael.
