Location: Scotland | Nightmare of a Journey. Flights cancelled due to strikes in France. Arrived late and just got done dressing the booth. Bose came up with the goods and lent us an L1 system, so I guess I'll be pissing off the neigbours. The Ovation/Takamine booth is just around the corner from us.
The instruments on the booth next to us have an interesting name. Cuntz guitars.

Maybe they'll make me a signature model |

Location: Isle of Man, UK | I'm reminded of a famous commentating faux-pas a few years ago during an international soccer tournament (may have been Euro '96, I'm not sure). One of the German players was having a very good game indeed, and appeared to be inspiring the rest of the team, and they really dominated the game.
The commentator was heard to remark "The Germans really have been playing like a team of Kuntz this second half."
Painfully, this is a true story. Fortunately, the bloke had done some homework, and pronounced it 'Koonts', but that didn't make it any less funny. (Just to clarify, as I'm not one to stir anything - the comedy has nothing to do with the team in question, just the way the name was presented).
Classic.

Location: Germany | Right, the player was Stefan Kuntz. The team won the European mastership in '96.
I think there are a lot of words that can be misunderstood in another language. In English a 'gift' is higly welcome. In German it means 'poison'.

One of these days I'll learn to speak it! |

| German beer is so damn strong that after a few liters (spelled specially for witko) you don't even know there's a plate let alone which side you're standing on. (Or so I've heard). |
