And impressive to see how many metal fans are actually willing (and able) to pay such high prices for a... festival journey like this!

You can just be like me, not care and make jokes.ohmy, i guess the only place where one can be safe from this madness is some remote deserted island...
no i can't!!You can just be like me, not care and make jokes.
i'm so frustrated!! i've been fearing this for months and trying to prepare myself mentally for this nasty assault and yet it comes down so hard again! I live in the center of the town across a busy pub and it's fuckin monday afternoon and they have been partying here like madmen!! i know exactly when the national team is playing and when they score and if they win or lose without turning on tv, radio or internet and without talking to anybody!! And there's nowhere to hide: this madness has been shoved down everybody's throat for months now (think Christmass madness x100) that it comes out my nose and ears and fingernails!! I know i'm in the smallest minority here, and that's what makes it so frustrating: nowhere to hide and run away from this deafening noise and crazy partying people!! I can only relax and breathe normal again when this madness is over
My fear beforehand of a poor 1-0 or 2-1 win was totally reasonless! Yeah!
no i can't!!
[/end of rant]
have fun guys
.
i did, i have a package of fresh earplugs right here, which i'm gonna need every night now because they will be partying until 4 a.m. every night now...Believe me, I understand how you feel. I normally don't watch football games, it gets pretty crazy here too. Football is the opium of the masses, I don't like it very much and prefer hockey a lot more, it's much "cooler". But when it comes to the WC, it's different, you actually get to see good games! Anyhow, my suggestion is to stay in your room with some ear plugs and don't go out for a month
if the weather is fine i will probably be going out of town into the forest almost every day now, which means my work will come to a halt for a while too...
i tought "they probably have redone the room" (some clients do that) but i was totally wrong!
Strict EU food labelling laws could spell death for Nutella, the hazelnut and chocolate spread, Italy has claimed.
The European Parliament on Wednesday approved a draft proposal designed to fight rising levels of obesity in Europe. Under the proposed rules, advertising of foodstuffs that exceed specific amounts of salt, sugar and fat would be strictly limited, and food companies would have to list the calories, fat and salt content on the front of packages.
But Italians claim the stark labelling will frighten consumers and deter them from buying Nutella and other sweet snacks.
Italys favourite breakfast spread, Nutella, is at risk of extinction if a new EU law is passed. The regulation will stipulate that only food products containing up to 10 grams of sugar, 4 grams of fat and 2 milligrams of salt per every hundred grams can be advertised. This means that Ferrero, the makers of Nutella, will not be able to advertise the product at all.
Francesco Paolo Fulci, former Italian Ambassador to the UN and now vice president of Ferrero International, told the AGI news agency that he sees this as an attack on the Italian chocolate industry and on traditional Italian sweet foods.
The law, says Mr Fulci, could lead to chocolate products being treated like cigarettes, with health warnings on the packaging.
He adds that Ferrero is happy to indicate the quantity of sugar and calories in its products on their labels but that it is up to the consumer to decide how much he or she wants to eat.
