Hiya!

I hope linking to other sites from EF is all right. http://www.furmeets.co.uk/ is a website which lists most of the UK fur groups and when they hold their meets. If you click on the group name, a page about that group appears. If you click on the website linked from there, you arrive at that group's website. Also, there is http://www.ukfur.net/ which is a site covering the whole of the UK, although it's mainly used for message boards. I am very sure there are plenty of furs living near you :) Your profile says you live in Northlot (I presume this is a typo and is meant to be Northolt) - in which case, you'll find loads on the LondonFur website as well as on UKFur.

I hope that helps!

We'll always watch you closely, never trust you, only whisper when we see you and make sharp remarks in your directions, as we do with all Americans...

Just learn this very important quote by heart: ;D "Ich bin ein dummer Amerikaner und ich spreche keinen Deutsch"
I hope I'm quoting this correctly, because my German writing skills are far from exemplary. :D

I do know what that means "I am a stupid American and I speak no German"
I know enough Deutsch to get me in trouble and thats about it. Atleast I am trying to learn so Fick dich! If you find any offence in this post too bad because that little quote is very insulting to me. I know that most amercians come across as stupid, rude and crude, I am trying not to fit that mindset by makeing an effort to try and learn the lanuage of the country I intened to visit. So next time try treating all of us "stupid" amercians like normal people.

Woah now! He was just quoting Uncle Kage here, not trying to offend anyone with this. So calm down

Somewolf, for someone who doesn't know you, this might sound pretty offensive. Please think twice before you post something like that, you're senior staff, so what you post here reflects back on all of us.

(And to everyone else: Don't worry, there is no need to avoid somewolf, he's a friendly guy :D)

Okay, the only reason I'm not deleting this is, that the issue needs some explanation :) He was indeed not trying to say that you're stupid ... he was indeed just referring to Uncle Kage. When we invited Uncle Kage to be our GOH in 2002, he told us that (not surprisingly) he didn't speak any German, and was feeling a little bit uneasy what to say when someone should adress him in German. And being a man of goof humour, he asked us to teach him how to say "I'm just a stupid american, and I don't speak any German" in German, so he'd at least know a funny phrase to make clear he didn't understand, and be funny at the same time. The mentioning of this phrase has become a sort of running gag, and is in no way meant to be offensive to americans.

Now, to you personally, Jager, don't worry. If you think that Europeans think that Americans are all individually stupid, that's just a prejudice, and it's not true. Especially not for EF. Guests from overseas are valued just like everyone else, and in a crowd that is as international as Eurofurence's you're not going to stand out :) Just to give everone an impression, here's the list of countries that Eurofurence is drawing attendees from:


  • Germany
  • United Kingdom
  • USA
  • The Netherlands
  • Austria
  • Switzerland
  • Finland
  • France

  • Belgium
  • Sweden
  • Russia
  • Ukraine
  • Poland
  • Australia
  • Norway

He's absolutely right. At Eurofurence, we hate everyone equally.
I will accept other opinions as long as you all accept that those opinions are wrong.
