Hmm, glaube nicht. Im Deutschen gibt's auch ja nur das Wort Exil.
Wir sind vielmehr Asylanten! Also "asylum for hifi-forum addicts" wäre treffender.

Ah, that's it! Sie mean "you" and mir means "me". In English, we say "Please forgive me." The German version (in English) is, "Please forgive you me."

Stammtisch = regular table, ich denke das zusätzliche "exile" geht in Ordnung.

Exile thread? Table is definitely nicht das richte wort. I'm now laughing at myself, probably more than the rest of you are! Ich bin eine Dummkopf, und ich need eine umlaut on miene keyboard!

That's something that every english remembers from school, I think.
When I was in Scottland, I met some people who learned German at school and the only thing they still knew was "Dummkopf", because the teacher used it so often - i think.

LEO Ergebnisse für "Stammtisch"

The translation regulars' table fits very well but the "exile" seems to be a little bit out of place there. I said we're more like asylum-seekers.

German hifi forum "regular's table" asylum-seekers thread

And I'd say we already found asylum and are now in exile!

@Wmcmanus:
Not all Germans celebrate the Oktoberfest. It's mainly the Bavarians which aren't even cosidered "German" from lot's other parts of Germany.
And our hifi-forum is also visited by peeps from Austria and Switzerland!

Nein! As JFK would say, "Ich bin ein bier trinker!

Amazon.ca: German Drinking And Beer Garde: Various Artists: Music Trink, trink, bruderlien trink!

In fact, here is what is said in the review of this album, "...drinking beer is very important in Germany. Not because the beer is so good, indeed a good reason per se, but because it is a venue to socialize and enjoy the company of other people." So there you have it. All Germans except those who listen to headphones too much, go to Oktoberfest! Let the stereotype live!
