Anyone remember EuroTrash!

Well after a quick look on youtube and translating a few key words have come up with my own excerpts from our European cousins;

So how about posting any EuroSplosh clips you have seen on here

Great stuff! Does anyone know what its all about? My German isn't quite up to it.

Must be some kind of unusual historic event, as everyone seems to know what will happen. Beats Morris Dancing in my book! Wonder if we can persuade the UK it's a long forgotten tradition over here too?

I used to have Polish flatmates & they told me that there is some spring tradition there that you can throw water at pretty girls on some particular day. But I must say, I think that Slovak (?) clip is a bit dodgy: girl after girl is dragged kicking and screaming to the car. It loses the fun that way.

And the German clip does seem to be an attempt to drown as many people as possible. Doesn't look a great deal of fun and some of the dunkings appear spiteful (and resisted by the dunkees).

Not impressed. As Gordon Brown would say: "British Sploshing for British Sploshers"

(don't believe I just wrote that. I'm off to buy a copy of the Daily Mail with Carol Thatcher)

You should worry. I've just put a verse of Rule Britannia on the end of a new download coming very soon! It is a pisstake though...

The German dunking is a traditional passing out tradition/rite/ceremony for apprentices. As for the other clip, I'm as bemused as you are.

Doing his bit for international relations

Good job this isnt the BBC, we'd have to flagulate ourselves for quite some time for that comment!
