Cross-country private channels for non-English

SrSanta;

LOL     Got ya!

You are right, this is an international game.  It is gibberish only to me.  Any one who pays their $30 per month should have equal priveledges.

Re-read my post.  I decided that the fault lay with myself, not non-English speaking players.  I changed my ways, not expecting others to change their ways to mine.

As to the insult phase of my discussion, that was purely for your benefit.  I wanted to see if I could hook you and I did.  I was teasing more that a tad.  Consider it how I intended it to be, only gibberish.  

Insult me at will, my only language is United States North American West Coast Non-Chest Thumping Tell It Like It Is Slow Enough To Understand English.

Good Luck!

DUH.

This body came with a sign, but I didn't read it.

I blame alcohol, women and, uhm, gun toting North American-but-not-so-far-north-as-to-be-Canadian-Americans.

Hey Pongo, when were you on Cyprus?
I'm stuck in Nicosia until the end o' June (minus a week in KBH, so watch yer tongue Santa).
And yeah, many Greek Cypriots believe the US should solve their problems (in between spying on them).

Mino and others - it's nothing to do with privileges or AH being US based sim.

Someone mentioned it above - it's simply polite in a crowded room to speak a language most people can understand. It's so happens it's English. If it was Chineese/Russian/Jutlandian etc - so it would be. But it's English - so let's just respect other people and keep Ch 1 as English-mostly channel. I know there's a Russian channel, there must be others too.

OTOH, the world's population of jerks seems to be on the rise and a few may just drift into AH - statistics I'm sure . Thank God for .squelch xxxx .

lynx, English *mostly* I am very fine with. But I really must say that another language now and then is refreshing

I dunno, I know just enough words in a few languages to read some pretty interesting insults from time to time.  I enjoy it.

True, it may be polite to converse in English, but in AH, not everybody can speak (or write) English. Should ask them to shut up?  Should I consider someone rude for asking for help in a language that isn't English, because English is not among the languages that that person knows?

Dinger, oh, Copenhagen eh?

Tell ya what; you need to walk up to the dudes on HD's wearing jackets saying "Nåh, Bandidos ga' jer godt med tæsk eh?".

Then you walk up to the dudes wearing jackets saying "Bandidos" and say "Sikke nogle tøssedrenge I er, det er da ikke underligt at HA sparker jeres røv hele tiden".

That way, you'll get all the chicks.
