you and meenzer having a get together? 130279[/snapback] Yes, and I'm going to mock his technique afterwards. 130286[/snapback] But...but...I can roll my "r"'s now and everything! 130288[/snapback]

Could do. Have you ever been? Most importantly, is Luxumberg beer better than German???? 130204[/snapback] I've been and I've been bored. They can't decide whether they're French, German, Belgian or Portuguese (the major immigrant population). And there isn't a great deal to do unless you've got a car and can hike up to the castles in the surrounding countryside. Stick with the Jorman pubs, I reckon.

Frankfurt'll do you fine for that, and if you hop on a train to somewhere else for a day trip you'll get an even better impression of the place. There's cheap regional train travel for groups at weekends, just ask at the station about the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket and you might even get a helpful answer in passable English and a smile. Though, knowing Deutsche Bahn employees, that might be stretching it... And you can always stock up on cans at Hahn airport for the bus ride if you want to hit the German brew as early as possible (and make the time just fly by )...

The buses from Hahn to Frankfurt go every hour or so (on average), timed to tie in with flight arrivals, and apparently it's €12 each way, no discounts for return tickets. EDIT: Bah. Taxi? Not sure, but I wouldn't recommend it - mind, if there's a group of you then it mightn't work out much more than a bunch of bus tickets. Can't find any info on average fares, it's probably the sort of thing you'd negotiate with the taxi drivers at the airport. Will keep looking tho.

Actually, you really can get to Luxembourg City from Hahn by bus in less than two hours, if you fancy a change of destination.

Yep. We are. Bollards.......... I thought it was the local airport..... 130185[/snapback] Not for nothing is it nicknamed "Luxembourg East". You'll get a lovely drive through the countryside for your money though.

Are you flying into Hahn, by the way? That's one of Ryanair's cheekiest name games - the place is about a 90-minute bus ride from Frankfurt itself...

What he said. Also, if you want to get away from the skyscrapers and stuff, there are some nice towns within 30-60 minutes' striking distance on the commuter trains - and not only Mainz where I used to live. Heidelberg is a bit of a tourist "must", for example, and dead pretty too, especially since you should get the weather in your favour at this time of year - beers and ice-cream on one of the open-air squares then a hike up the hill to the old fortifications, can't be bad. There's a mountain railway thingy up to the top, but as English visitors you have to walk, it's the law.

I've gotta work for a few hours. Hence slumming it on here with you lot.

OK, the ending was cool enough. But I hate pressings of novels where you think you've got 20 pages left then you discover it's the last page already, followed by the first chapter of the author's next book then ten pages of plugs for books you have absolutely no interest in. Totally ruins my flow, maaan.

Shut up you poo-head

Precisely.... Like I can be fucking arsed to sit there all afternoon sifting through a 150MB database table that would take fucking ages to open simply to find out what arcade unit J69 was creaming his pants over! I have a job and a family thank you very much! 129172[/snapback] You fucking sure you're a fucking appropriate example of a fucking family man?

Oh, and Plus recently upgraded my broadband to 8mb automatically without me having to search the website for a special magic button.

Fucking hell, that was a bit random.

He bought up all the copies of "Doop" tbh.

Anybody want to tell him we're not talking about Radio 3 here...?

It's class like, if you haven't seen it, you should check out 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. I watched 'Sonatine' starring 'Beat' Takeshi last night. Cracking film. 128314[/snapback] I actually saw a challenger win on Takeshi's Castle the other day.

<insert pithy birthday greeting here> tbh.
