Oktoberfest

[darmstadt]

The results from day 1, or why I don't go:

Around 200 altercations requiring police intervention
555 people injured (trying to find nationality figures)
49 alcohol poisonings
7 Maß glass smashings (against people that is, and they're ******* heavy)
1 policeman in hospital
1 person caught wanking in a beer tent

Worse than all the football matches in Germany over the weekend (200+ games)

Has it occurred to you some of us from Glasgow appreciete a little violence? We'll set about you, ken? Not this shandy drinking run away from terror with the tail tucked firmly between the legs.

The first major incident was between an American and a Dutchman, in fact from what I can see, only a couple of Brits so far (which is good), a fair few Americans, Belgians, Serbs, Italians, Australians, Germans and the ****** was a Turkish engineer.

By the by, what's the source? It's all heresy without a source.

Sounds rather jolly to me:

Beer trumps politics as Oktoberfest opens - The Local

Seriously what are your sources? I've been reading through Nachrichten aus Politik, Kultur, Wirtschaft und Sport - Süddeutsche.de, not a whisper!

You mean it's orthodox holy writ with the source?

Yes, because I'm drinking the holly stuff right now and it's all very jolly.
