Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I spare you the usual outsider's look and perspicacity blah blah. I am no longer a regular. Used to be. Used to be quite proud of it actually. Not dreaming, I am confessing all my sins, but the repentance is for tonight only so take advantage. :)
Used to have (and may still have) all the overinflated ego symptoms. But never would I have said that people who just ... what's the blogosphere word for it again ? Let's say "poke in" are less entitled to raise issues and ask questions and question the system. There is no one to claim more relevancy. No one to fear less.

It is good to see you back, even if it is temporary.

So before the clock strikes midnight, is there any other sins you like to confess?

too late for that now... well it depends on the location perspective (I know, poor attempt at global humour). Better have remorse than regrets, huh ?
Let's say I hope to be back for longer than my confession would have taken anyway.
And thank you for the welcome back.

Okay, okay, you know I trust you Sven but ... can you swear on whatever you wish that your thoughts and intentions are as pure as the sound of your beautiful language ? ;-)

well, a literal translation would be 'welcome back, crumb (of cake or biscuit) - but that doesn't quite capture the colloquial sense of endearment ;-)

For instance, the British comedy series title "Auf Weidesehn, Pet" - pet was translated as muru.

Endearment is too scarce these days not to be taken for what it is and heartily thanked for. Good to see that in our ever-changing world, the best things (and people) remain unaltered.

Sound an anwfully long sentence actually to mean simply welcome back...
