Strange, I didn't get a mail. You probably didn't send me a mail, because we testede the mailing system earlier today, and it works like a charm.

As Sion pointed out, there is no way to know what country you selected unless someone correctly guesses it by searching for it.
I didn't get an email either.

(country) Yeah, but I put it in the forums too. 
About the email, I think the following happened... I searched for "120 GB" in HDs (just for testing), then Eric and Sion appeared. Then I clicked "Email contact list" thinking another page would show but it went back to the main Help Bin page. But I think I need to check the boxes next to who I want to email. |
Whatever. Who knows... |

Now, you start to wonder, where did I get the idea for my name from...?
(masterbooda once figured that VB meant Visual Basic... but he couldn't find out the BR part ;) |
Whatever. Who knows... |

Well, in Denmark we have a large chain of toy-stores called "Fætter BR", which means "Cousin BR". I think that you're "Cousin BR"!
Here are some pictures of their mascot, called "Cousin BR", which pretty much resembles what I think you must look like:

- http://m11.br.dk/media/IKON/35321.gif
Notice his outfit. It's actually the uniform of the highly respected National Garde (that guards the Queen of Denmark) along with the helmet of bear-skin and everything.
Here is a picture of the brave fella's marching in front of the Queens castle on a gray day: http://www.unicahome.com/products/6497.0AC5C53D.jpg
Joke aside, I think it might be the first two letters from BRazil...? Or prehaps or initials... Brian Ryan? Bobo Raisin?

Certainly.  (edit: dammit you edited while I was writing. I mean it's the first two letters)
(now thinking about it, what a stupid name. That's what you get when you want to comment on something and needs a name quickly...) |
Whatever. Who knows... |

Hey, I guessed correct! Pretty cool.
But I think you should stick with VBBR instead of Visual Basic Brazil... The long version just isn't very catchy |

Yeah, BR. Saw it a lot in Danmark (been there often, to the north, "KlitMoller", next to the "vandet so", ), Billund (lego land! :D), and Aarhus, and Copenhagen only a few times.
Edit: Traditional stuff we HAVE to bring with us back to NL:
- The chocolate thin layers for on bread (poleaq/k or something?)
- Pulsor
- WienerBrod  |

Haha, very nice post Almar!

"Paalaeg"? That just means "slices of something [cheese/chocolate/meat/etc] to put on bread".
I was in the Netherlands a week or so around 1998 as part of a student exchanging project. And it's strange that you would bring home thin layers of chocolate, because where I lived we were constantly served small pieces of chocolate on white bread. I don't no why it's that popular, because I don't think it's very good for the health, but they just had a break-fast-cerial-size box with that chipped chocolate stuff. It tasted very good tough
quote:
Pulsor
Hmm... "Poelser", prehaps? That just mean sausuages. We do have some great sausuages, but nothing compared to what they have in Italy and France.
quote:
WienerBrod
Oh yeah, Wienerbroed! Mmm, 100 000 calories sqeezed into a little greasy cake. No really, it's the good stuff!
In Denmark we call it a Wienerbroed, which is named after the large German city "Wien" (I think that's where they're playing symphony music from on the morning of Januar 1st every year. I'm usually just too hung over too be watching people in huge dresses dance around to symphony music ).
Back to my point, it's called "Wienerbroed" in Denmark, but abroad it's called a "Danish"... I have no idea how it got that name, but at least people know my country for that.
"Denmark, hmm isn't that some sort of pastry?" |

Well, we have "chocolate hail" ( http://images.google.com/images?q=hagelslag&hl=nl&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi ) over here :). tiny chocolate pieces. But it's no where compared to the slices/layers of chocolate. I still have a package left somewhere Ithink..
I'm suprised you write things down different as I see them. :) I couldn't be bothered to look up the char, earlier.
PulsØr (Here I'm holding one: http://www.persistentrealities.com/IMG_0101.JPG ) and WienerbrØd. With the special "O" right? :).
I know it's caleld after the German city. But I haven't seen it in Germany actually. When I was in Washington a month ago, I think I did see a label "Danish pastry", or something similar. (I did bring some home, ) |
