    Tom: Thank you for posting the pics. Nothing like a quick trip to Germany. That looks like a beautiful place to hold games despite the weather. Is that a real camel or two guys dressed up as one? Its back legs look like an old pair of Haggar slacks. I like your outfit, particularly your kilt and sporran.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Hello John!

    Thanks...it was a really nice and funny day!
    Yes, it's an old hunting castle with a marvellous park.
    In fact a perfect place....
    No, it was a fake camel but very nosy and cheeky.
    The two guys were a street theatre group from London.
    Thanks for the compliments... I wanted to go in shirt and jacket but in fact it was too cold so I had to be a little more casual...

    Greetings,
    Tom
