Read the post. I simply stated a fact. I thought I had the right to do so on an open forum. I never said anything about not being able to join the forum, you did. Again USA is no joke. I assume you already know that.

Well, story began from Slovenia, I don't like when bigger hurts smaller. If it just seemed to me or if it was just a 'joke' then here are my deepest apologizes.

Bill, I would ask you to please, if you don`t have nothing constructive to say, start your own topic and blab about what you want over there...ok..? thank you.. what you stated is not a fact but simply your opinion... I doubt you know much about Estonia, if anything and even less about Slovenia....so please, there is nothing in this topic you can contribute with , so , have a nice day...

Oh I see, so it's only an open forum if you agree with what the other person has to say and you deem it contructive? Get real!!! I gotta go take my meds.

Thanks for stimulating my curiosity Damir. I found out a little known fact about Slovenia... that they hosted the European Underwater Hockey Championships in Kranj, Slovenia,

Image
Now I'm curious as to how one plays hockey underwater without drowning. Stupid me, I was always of the opinion that one played hockey on TOP of the water (preferably frozen).

Finally, I would like to go on record that I kave known where Estonia was since high school when I had a friend named Ingrid who was from Estonia. She was really cute.

Peter,
Steel players around Fort Augustas are a bit thin on the ground.We do have our very own monster in Loch Ness which I am sure will make an appearance for You.
Have a nice stay in a lovely part of the Country.

Promats look like great pedal steels. I'm sure that the gentleman I Slovenia, which I happen to know where it is, will be very happy. If I ever get rich I would love to buy a Promat, especially if it spent time in Slovenia.
I hope this is on topic enough.
