    I quite enjoyed a short trip to brussels, but then again I do like Belgian Beer and Moules mariniere. Some quite nice restaurants there.

    For a short break I'd be tempted by Berlin, moreover isn't octoberfest on soon!?
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      I went to Berlin last year with work. I did a huge walking tour around the city - It's very nice but a bit new for my tastes - I wonder why that is?
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        Oktoberfest is in Munich and for whatever reason it starts in September, I went there for 8 days in 2001... I nearly died.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Yeah I knew it wasn't in Berlin, was just making another suggestion, only ever been to Germany once for a night out, guess the old prejudices put me off, having said that, every german I've worked with has been very friendly.

                Not doing Ireland - I'd be expected to visit my folks. Not doing Holland either as I'd be expected to visit my brother
