What really happened?

General Discussion

For those of you that have wondered if more information would come out about happened at lehmann. You can watch this.
The problem is that the clip in in German. I can assure that H-J probably won’t translate it for you because it features another toy maker that he detests and it paints a picture entirely opposite from what he wants you to believe. It’s a story of how the banks target middle sized companies for take over.
See if you have any luck getting a translation! Jack

Jack,

You need to get a grip! :lol: :lol: I watched the clip and I’m seriously considering translating it for one simple reason: with the info that is available in the public domain regarding the EPL Patentwerk oHG insolvency it will rob your fairy tale of any buoyancy. That will be your very personal hot-air balloon that goes “whoooooosh”!
Tell you what: I promise that it will be your very special present for the anniversary of Märklin getting the bid (July 26th)! It could be even before then, if I find the extra minutes … well it’s only a seven minute clip. No problem! It will be a fitting occasion!

BTW it’s those Austrians who are doing it to the Germans again, isn’t it? :lol: :wink: :lol: So many years after Adolf they now go the financial route. :lol: :open_mouth: :lol:

What really happened? I got seriously bored with the whole thing a year ago! Can’t you two play in the same sandbox nicely together? You bicker like an old married couple.

Brian, have you ever seen two monkeys trying to copulate with a football? :lol:

They need something to keep their blood pressure up.

I’ll wait for the translation…

Hey Steve, my blood pressure is just fine. :wink: :slight_smile: That report on German TV is just one more straw Jack-O is clutching at. On the 26th it will be the first anniversary of “… next week!” and he still hasn’t digested that. But he’ll get his special present! :wink: :slight_smile:

Marvin , no distractions, please! :O I'm still transcribing that video clip! You wouldn't want to be responsible for me missing the deadline, would you? July 26th 2008, the first anniversary of " ..... wait until next week" day.

Yep, I like that, too! But I wondered about the "pi" mark, is that the intermediate care point when things go in circles? ;) :) ;)

Oh… that, is so funny!

Bob- You need to zero your meter.

#17

Perhaps the negative reading demonstrates how much he cares… :smiley:

#18

TOC, Steve has the right of it, he doesn’t even care a zero reading! The one I want is the BS meter for using on emails to certain people who are always FULL UP! Der Herr Hans, that is male cow feces, what you but on your garden!!
Having worked and lived in Germany for several years I have a fair idea as what is being said, I will wait patently for der Herr Hans to do a good translation! I trust the rest of you can do the same oh on second thought I may be assuming too much!!

And all the why for’s and what not’s that go with it.
I don’t think HJ would carry on with such gusto, :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

LGB is viewed as an “institution”.
Let General Motors go belly up and people will talk about it for many years.
