When driving home tonight, I looked at the sign for my home town, Kirkcaldy; I have looked at this sign 1000's of times but tonight for some reason the penny dropped. Kirkcaldy is twinned with Ingolstadt Evil D's home town, lol how bizzare.

Yep. Definately. The representatives of your town are here in Ingolstadt every two years for the MIBA (that's an exhibition) and I always get free Guinness cause I know them

Speaking of parallels then... I used to get my Audi serviced etc in Kirkcaldy!


It's a small world!

I still don't really know the point of twin towns, but just found that my town is twinned with one in Germany too, called Gladbeck, and that Gladbeck comes from the low german meaning 'gleamy' 'brook'.


I didn't know that was the twin town


I didn't know there was a town called Gladbeck


and didn't know what 'low german' meant until just now.


But years ago we used to mess around down this carpark on a road called Gladbeck, and only now I know why.


It has a gleamy brook running along it behind the flats.


Satisfied I have learnt something new today, that's all please carry on, minor derailment
