  1. It's interesting how much better the rights and equality situation has become for various minorities over the last 20 years or so while we've been letting in all these dirty Islams. If their overriding aim is to establish Sharia law, they're doing a pretty shoddy job of it.
  2. It's a small place. I doubt there's much that's selective about the breeding there.
  3. Just got back from the office Christmas bash. Flights from London City to Frankfurt and back worked a treat (and a healthy dose of Kristallweizen helps the old nerves a ton). The lads who came from Berlin? Two hours delay on the way there last night, flight back this morning cancelled because of a bomb scare. They'll be getting the train next year - at least you can bring a bottle of wine or three. Mind it's a different matter when someone else is paying for it, obviously.
  4. Just landed in Jormany for the office Christmas bash. Even Offenbach looks pretty in the snow. Well, almost. I suspect tomorrow morning's contribution to this thread will be somewhat less full of the joys of winter.
  5. So it's the fault of reality music shows that people aren't into classic pop/rock any more... that'll be the reality music shows that have "Elton John week" and the like every bloody series?
  6. The outside broadcasts from there tonight, fucking hell man, pack of absolute tramps and the number of times they squawked "Liverpooooool" I thought I was watching this by mistake.
  7. It's a fair question. I reckon I still would have gone, but I don't really know if the cost/benefit factor would be sufficient compared with what I'd have got from simply moving to Germany after high school and picking up the nuances of the language that way, even if that involved pulling pints for four years rather than studying the language in-depth. Probably all depends on my first employer really - they took me on without any translation experience because I had a strong modern languages degree, but would they have been willing to expand that to "speaks the language very well but has no post-high school qualifications in it"? I suspect not, but you never know.

    Got one in Riga who, after we told him where we wanted to go, turned to us and earnestly asked "What is hotel?".
  9. Phil Hughes or Shaun Marsh. Neither stands out over the other though tbh. You should split the difference and stick Sean Hughes in there.
  10. And he had nowt to do with the decision anyway. Apparently.
  11. Aye, I'm well under the weather too. Adopting the whisky cure for now.
  12. PM. Tried that number but some bloke called "Stevie" answered?
