The last week was one of those weeks… First of all, the weather really sucks big time at the moment. It was (is) grey and rainy the whole week. Horrible. Summer, pleaaase! It is depressing. I basically came back from sunny California 3 weeks ago always having in mind that the timing is perfect and that I could easily skip the “spring” before the “summer” starts. But well, I don’t know if I mentioned it but a fancy hailstorm was already waiting for me stepping out of the airport in Dublin… Bad omen… A taxi driver asked me this week coming back from a Friday night: “Noice weatha, eh?” I replied:”Brilliant”. His answer: “That’s Ireland: What you see is what you get”. He might be right but usually it is more like “What you see looks ok but it is actually shite”. Anyways…
The next good news reached me during the week: “Got a call - The Herman Düne concert is canceled”. Arse. I was so looking forward to this. Oh well it says that the concert is postponed… ok will will see. Shit happens.
The real shit one day later: A woman was murdered here in my apartment complex. I was walking to work in the morning and I realized a cop standing in front of one of the doors. Didn’t really think too much at this point but I got the news then in the office. Must have been really brutal. He stabbed her (Sara Neligan) to death. I mean, it happened inside one of the apartments but still… Disturbing…
The thing is pretty big here as it turned out that the victim is the daughter of a famous heart surgeon. It was a big story on the front cover of the tabloids. The police talked to everybody living there and of course to me as well. It turned out that I was at home alone when it happened - nice alibi. I didn’t realized anything suspicious though. He also asked me about the “beerfest in Germany” - is just said he should go to Berlin instead…
Now is the point where the whole strory covers things like Sara Neligan’s drug addiction or some previous conflicts of the potential killer. I actually bought a tabloid for the first time here in Ireland… Well the guy the police arrested, who was also living in my complex, now admitted the crime. The police is still around though…

It’s time for festivals again! And there is no discussion where to go: it has to be the Fusion! People always ask me here in Ireland what makes the Fusion so special compared to other festivals. There are many different reasons.
- It is not a crazy rip off festival: The ticket is nothing if you compare it to some festivals here in Ireland. If you are early it will cost you only 35 Euros! What a bargain - the ticket for the Electric Picnic is 220 Euros this year. Sure, the lineup is great but wtf???
- The atmosphere is just different! Hard to describe - check the “official” description!
- The lineup is great as well!!!
- You can do whatever you want! There is no shitty fence between the Festival and the campside. No stupid bouncers check if you carry a bottle of whatever to the stages or crap like that…
- The area is cool! An old Russian military base - hangars transformed into stages
- and so on…..
I am really looking forward to be there again! Flight is booked and oolong also managed two tickets for Sonic Youth in Berlin the day before! Good stuff!!!!

Oh wie geil es wieder abgeht in Saarbrücken - also ich mein den FCS - iss klar. Haben die es doch tatsächlich noch so unendlich geil vermasselt und müssen jetzt fies in der Oberliga rumkicken. so lol! Geil sind auf jeden Fall die Interviews mit Klimmt und Loos (1,2,3) auf SR3. Wer es ganz bitter brauch muss natürlich im Ludwigspark-Gästebuch lesen! Köstlichste Unterhaltung garantiert!
Einen kleinen Appetitanreger darf ich aber an dieser Stelle noch präsentieren:
Kann man Ostermann und Meiser nicht zur Rechenschaft ziehen wegen Verbrechen am FCS?
Kann nicht sein das die einfach so aufhören und das war’s für sie.
Ich Vordere die Vendetta für die Saubande
oder
Auch unser Vorzeige-Fanclub “Saar-Eagles” leidet seit dem Abstieg unter den finanziellen Folgen.
Doch der geschäftstüchtige Präsident GG hat sich bereits Gedanken gemacht, wie man den Nudelsalat- und Friakdellen-Konsum einigermaßen konstant halten kann.
So werden die GG-Busse einfach Hasborn bei Wittlich, Hamburg und eins der anderen unzähligen Neunkirchen ansteuern, anstatt zu die “Stadien” der Oberliga-Konkurrenten zu fahren.
Der Lidl-Geschäftsführer, bei dem GG seit Jahren seine Salatmayonnaise kauft, hat bereits die finanzielle Unterstützung dieses rührigen Fanclubs zugesagt.
