I believe it entirely, I just wouldn't be admitting it if I were him.

Manly. Just repaired a washing machine. Also petrified, because I'm bound to have fucked it up somehow.

Couple of weeks' time, the semi-final in question is on May 22nd. If you haven't nibbled already, might be worth holding off till rehearsals start in about a week, just to make sure the singer hasn't decided to turn up in a ludicrous outfit or shave her head or something. The fanboys on-site will report back in due course, after which I shall compile a comprehensive guide to the best Euro-flutters.

Sí

Make up for it by betting on Belgium to qualify for the Eurovision final. 15/8 at Paddy Power, Betfred and others. Absolutely nailed on, free money.

Having checked out his Come Dine With Me performance, he didn't seem to be much of a challenge. Boris just got back in in London. Closer than I thought it'd be, but still.

Wii and a PS2. I'm fucking hardcore.

Meanwhile, Newcastle rejects an elected mayor, which is something. Pity we can't reject the buffoon who's busy getting himself reelected down here.

Salty or sweet?

Not particuarly, and besides, bears tend to be into other bears. Which: not in the slightest.

Proper tubby at the minute like. I've even admitted defeat and signed up to myfitnesspal.com to see if I can track my calorie consumption a bit better.

Brilliant

Neither did most of us, mind. Seemed like decent enough lads I thought, at least compared with some of the knackers Fish manages to unearth!

The illiterate ones are the easiest pickings. Always been fond of them.

Just caught up with the second episode of the new series. Decent. "We could bring Grandpa back, like Jurassic Park".

I am notoriously hard to please.

Absolutely fine really - it's massive, has a decent bar if you want to meet backpacking wankers/foreign lasses before you go out on the town, free wi-fi, and the staff are fairly helpful. Location isn't mega-central but it's fine really, especially if you're doing stuff on the eastern side of the city, and public transport runs all night including the trains at the weekend - there'll be better-located smaller hostels too though, I'm sure. Anyway, stayed there a few times over the years and basically it does what you'd want it to do for the price.

Ah, there we go - you might find some joy in there: http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/31993-staff-christmas-dos/page__p__1008251#entry1008251 http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/32223-holidays-2012/page__st__100__p__10393931

I swear we've had this before, but can I fuck find the thread. Anyway all I know in Berlin is the Generator Hostel and my mates' spare room, so that doesn't really help you either way. Anywhere with a decent star rating and Tripadvisor score will be fine though, so go for location as much as anything - you'll want to be near an U-Bahn/S-Bahn station with decent routes to the rest of the city.
