What of 'Ich Bleibst auf Dortmund', would that work? (To be fair I haven't lived in Germany for over 20 years, so I am a bit rusty).

Hmm... that depends on what you really meant. "Bleibst" is the wrong declaration; that one is for "you", not "i" (Du bleibst). If you wanted to say that you will stay in Dortmund, then it would be "Ich bleibe in Dortmund". But hey, that's the Ruhrpott we're talking 'bout - they _do_ have a really funny grammar up there, so every grammar mistake you might made could be easily blamed on the guys in the Ruhrpott.
That seems to be a PEBKAC problem, Sir. Why don't you go and fetch a coffee while I handle the operation?

Hmm, a strange mixture of Tarzan and Yoda :)

I am aware of the madness of the Lünenvolk. And Aplerbeck isn't much better. But I got told that when I speak German, it sounds very aristocratic.

Now that webcam is pure torture. I have to sit here and work while I could be there within 20 minutes.
"Dark the dark side is. Very dark..." - Yoda ---
"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiDon't have that problem; I'm really some hours away from Munich, and I wouldn't want to be there in the first place (too crowdy for me, and while I do enjoy the occasional beer, I'm from a "wine country" and prefer the Rebensaft).

If you going to do Tarzan impersonations shouldn't you wait for Talk Like a Primate Day?
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

Ohhh, aristocratic - yeah, that may be. That really depends on how you pronounce the words ;-)

Mei, oa Preiß
"Dark the dark side is. Very dark..." - Yoda ---
"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiMore than you would think. My father actually came from "Ostpreußen", which makes me at least a half Preiß. (The other half is Pfälzer, thanks to my mum.)

As far as I recall, you also don't come from Bavaria (Ruhrpott, right?).

"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiSame here, could be there within minutes, but I really try to avoid it as long as possible. I have to go there with clients anyway, but i try to push that ahead as far as possible every year. Don't like the big crowds of tourists that think, they have to dress up to go there.
