Dennis Lindsey "scouting" in Europe

Seriously, I'm sure Messina speaks English well enough. Most Euros can speak a few languages and English is usually one of them as it's often a required language in schools. And a bunch of them speak better English than people who were born in the U.S. At least that's been my experience from my travels.

Or at the very least, they speak English better than Karl Malone do.

As an aside, listening to DL speak drives me crazy. He says 'you know' about every 5th word or so. It's almost as annoying as listening to my children use the word 'like' every 5th word or so.

Problem is: I look turkish, so I wouldn't have any of that "oooh he must be a tourist" mojo going for me.

lol as a matter of fact, that is one hundred percent true. be sure to alert me if you ever set foot in İzmir. illyasova I'm from Karşıyaka braw. Well at least for the last 18 years. Changed about 7-8 houses in my life so my soul also belongs to Bornova. Never have lived in Güzelyalı, or anywhere further from Alsancak. A bit of ignorant about your region tbh.

1st time heard that in a Warner Bros cartoon as a child. Stuck in my mind since.

I haven't been to that part of Europe (north) but in the southern/eastern part of Europe I found that what you're saying to be true as well. A year ago, I visited Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, France and Spain and had no problems communicating with the locals in all of those countries...EXCEPT for France. The area of France that I visited (Marseille) seemed like nobody could (or had any desire to) speak English. Fortunately for me I was able to use google translator on my smartphone.

I almost spent the night in jail in Gap (at the foot of the French Alps) because I got a traffic ticket and the gendarme were so angry at me for not being able to speak fluent French. My experiences throughout the rest of Europe and throughout most of the world have been the same as akirac, though. There is almost always someone available, even in the remotest of locations, who can communicate fairly well in English.

Funny you asked that...when we had lunch in Izmir, my wife noticed how stunningly beautiful our waitress was (as did I but I couldn't say it out loud)...so on our way out my wife told me to pose for a picture with her. I showed that picture to my friends when we got back home and told them how I hooked up with a hot Turkish babe. LOL.

Turkey is a beautiful country...I loved it there.

It's a shame Memo ripped through all his money like that. Now Yeliz is forced to earn a living as a waitress?

Whoa man! You do have a bigger diameter than mine for sure. :D I am a humble man living between work and home. Which by the way is only 200 steps.
 
Does anyone have any more info to add re Lindsey's trip? Or is this just gonna turn into some tales from the ends of the earth type conversation?
 
Does anyone know if Lindsey is going to do his weekly call in to the Spence and Monson show today on 1280?

I know he is in Europe but I heard that some of the hotels over there have telephones now, at least the hotels where they speak English.
