Oktoberfest 2015 Reviewed

By Editor 9 years ago

Dirndls all around and many steins to be downed, Oktoberfest was a definite success.

Wandering down Market Street whilst bearing a striking resemblance to an extra from The Sound of Music, I felt it was safe to say that Oktoberfest had arrived in St Andrews. It was sure to be an evening of steins, dirndls, pretzels, and good old Bavarian joviality. The 10th annual St Andrews Charity Oktoberfest filled a sizeable day-drinking gap in the Fife calendar, and from 2pm until well after 10, it was a day requiring an impressive show of stamina.

Paulaner, the Bavarian chief Brewer, stocked the bars with litre steins, each for a respectable £5. For those that were wary of consuming innumerable pints of Bavaria’s finest, Jagermeister was on tap. The huge inflatable bottles hanging from the ceiling certainly encouraged revellers to indulge in this earthly delight. Bratwurst, pretzels, and shredded pork were also available from various stalls to keep party-goes in high spirits all day. Fairy lights, coloured garlands, and traditional Bavarian tablecloths decorated every inch of Kinkell, yet it was the colourful lederhosen and dirndls that transported guests to the beer halls of Munich.

Entertainment, aside from the antics of those who had consumed one too many steins, came in the form of “Stoaback Buam”, a traditional Bavarian oompah band who kept everyone on their feet with a mixture of classic German songs, alongside the best of Robbie Williams. For the more adventurous types, La Bamba, the infamous May Ball fairground ride, kept guests entertained. Surprisingly, the mixture of copious amounts of beer and aggressive rotating did not result in chunder-gate, a resounding success formerly unheard of at a St Andrews event.

The mixture of students, both current and returned, the who’s who of German society, and the occasional moustached tatler photographer made for outstanding company on a glorious day, and an even better evening. The promotional video boasted 5000 litres of beer, and I’m pretty sure that the Oktoberfest Komity got rid of it all. The number of lederhosen spotted around town the morning after certainly showed that I was not the only one to enjoy the evening.

For better or for wurst, this was a night to remember. I cannot wait for next year.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After
