Ah, Spooky is a bean counter who didn't like to honor the month-long work from a "German".

Please, Spooky, don't download the file again.

Greetings to all who like the download with some mistakes, except Spooky.

Good work Ulrich your have done huge and marvellous job to get all files to together.

Looking at all the POI's my wild guess > 300 hours work and free of charge.

I think Spooky can change POI names by him self if he needs and save them what ever name's he want it....

just to make it clear... the following is NOT the way I would like to see any discussion on the HU to start... but I have to comment at least...

well I know why I don't like teacher and the German attitude at all...

hold you horses.. will you... looks like you lost the plot some how...

I tried to give you some constructive input by asking politely to internationalise your work to make it even better... not pulling it down...
did you got lost in translation ?
stick to your German Forum if you can't bear a suggestion...

your reaction only showing arrogance and ignorant "oh I'm to tired can't be arsed" and now you start throwing stones (or is it chalk, like you do in your school) at some one who tries to make this world a bit better... and now you getting very personally aggressive and offensive... not a good attitude to do so here on the HU... is that the way they teaches kid's in school this days to act ?

by the way, while we are kicking around... your wording "didn't like to honor" is correctly written like "honour"... looks like your spell checker got a fault too... the spelling "honor" is yank stuff... "Mr teacher"...

actually all this really proofing my experiences with "the Germans" as such... (sadly I'm carrying this passport too)... what a pity...

I know why I would rather join a table of drinking, joking, singing and
piss-taking Scot's and English man if I would have the choice between a
table to choose, one that's surrounded by stiff Germans or wacky Brits in a pub... well the choice is easy I guess...
shit I'm just grown up on the wrong side of live...

I'm fed up with this...

didn't got it did you... absolutely hopeless...

talking about teacher as "professional teacher in school", read what's written there... Teutscher Lehrer which you are... must have been sitting in the blazing sun for some time for to long...

anyway this has to be stopped at some stage...
so... I suggest you rather carry on dreaming about your "honor" and stop picking on others, this is not a accustoms on HU, may on "Teutsche Foren".. so stick it..
This behaviour doesn't get you anywhere... only showing and proofing your arrogance, not to be able to solve the matter in a descend way.... very poor...

yeah well... forgot to add this one...

You can ask the wee geezer
He can teach you telepathy
He can read your mind backwards
If you try to do the cat in
You can only be a loser

...
...
Have a cup of tea, have another one, have a cup of tea
Have a cup of tea, have another one, have a cup of tea
Have a cup of tea, have another one, have a cup of tea...
High in the sky, what do you see ?
Come down to Earth, a cup of tea...

Thumbs up

Hi Ulrich and Spooky,

you are both great guys, you make the whole forum laugh, we are sitting here in New Zealand having some s and listening two Germans who accuse the other one to be sooo much more German, that’s great! Keep on! Maybe open one more thread in the fun zone, this is priceless! Gorgeous! Tomorrow we have some more and we want some news and stories from Down Under Germany and of cause want to find out who is the GERMANST one among the GERMANS.

Please keep the story rolling but open a new Thread for that, dont you think?



Ps.: A big THX for all the POI´s, doesnt matter if with the öäü... or not...

cheers Sascha

how about a title like the "ugly German Gartenzwerg"...

I guess my initial explanation for the "alteration" request of the file names got lost some where... it all started like this and it's not about the öäü... as such:

...appear as "?" sign like T?rkei" as a sample... this are declared corrupt on my UK-keyboard under a UNIX OS, even using UTF-8 Unicode fonts, can't rename the file names which is a pain...

my request was about to fix a bug that appear in combination with the öäü... that's all...

well... after that sadly the Gartenzwerk started digging his shovel in to the ..

right... great you can laugh about this... I don't mind playing the Muppet...

Filenames OK once extracted...

Yikes!

I don't really want to step into that , but just want to say that as a Linux user, the file names appear corrupted with ??'s when viewed in the archive manager, but once the files are extracted from the zip file, the filenames are fine. No ??'s.

Also, just want to say thanks to Ulrich for the thread and for his hard work, and to the many contributors. Saved my bacon one night in the rain when I was looking for a campsite in the mountains (OK... hills) of eastern Pennsylvania.
