if it gets too bad, you could always watch TVOriginally posted by threaded View PostFor some obscure reasons a long weekend in England is turning into a overly long stay.

Wow - they pay you for that? Those crazy Germans.Originally posted by darmstadt View Post..... This contract is a holiday.' Remember I already live in a foreign land so its like being on holiday all the time. During the summer it is pretty damn hot here so I can get up, slowly, go into town, sit in a cafe in the centre drinking Eis Cafe watching all the pretty girls go by then off to the Biergarten. Why sit on a beach or look at all the touristy things with loads of other people the same as you?Bored.Comment
