A Slight Case of Overeating

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Doesn't lager also = camp? As in Konzentrationslager? (Okay, I know that's German, but you get the point)

There's certainly some comedy potential there, surely?

Camp = Kamp (in Dutch)

Konzentrationslager = Concentratiekamp

We call the Englisch Houses of Parliament "het Lagerhuis".
Translate it back to Englisch and I get something like Beerhouse i.e. a place where beer is consumed. :eek:

Nevermind....it's getting too silly now.... :innocent:

It's just subject, general, but you can take it as 'vak' too, profession is 'beroep'

Concentratieslager is concentration butcher, but that's when you add the s to lager :lol:
But it does not have anything to do with camp really

Darn. Still, Lagerhuis for the Houses of Parliament is good. Beats the Reptile House, I think.

Do you want to be kicked? :lol:
"kies je kant en vak" - that sounds afrikaans to me
"choose your side and profession" - english
"choose your side and subject" - english
"kiss your c*nt and f*ck" - my world if you say it quickly enough!

In a parliment house we will drink red wine. No beer :urff:
it's all about circles and spirals
