Finish work sometime tomorrow afternoon and drive home. Pack my bags for Friday and get a train to Hamburg where I shall be partying until Tuesday. Sadly Frau D. (and another couple) are coming with me so I can't do any really naughty stuff although there is a road in Hamburg where women aren't allowed so I could just 'accidentally' get lost...

And it's NOT the Reperbahn, it's some street round the back. Reperbahn is boring, lines of lap dancing clubs and fast food joints....

Hamburg is great tho - try the Fischmarkt at Landungsbrucken on Sunday morning about 7:00am, still a party going on from the night before, beer still flowing, feels very wrong!

Quiet one this year.

Still plenty of good food and wine though.

Might check out a local jazz bar where bands start at midnight.

Yep, I know that, been there, not done it! Last time I was in Hamburg I ended up at a live sex show on the Reeperbahn with 3 women (all techie management from Telekom) and got kicked out of the show for laughing too much and refusing to pay 35 smackers for a beer. Ended up in an old boys pub (the best) drinking with Hamburgers, great night. Will probably go to Parlament (great eaterie under the Rathaus) and Old Commercial. Will also visit Spicys (spice museum) and Beatlemania (big museum dedicated to the Rolling Stones.)

We went to Das Parlament - was ok but didn't rate it that highly really, possibly my German buddy over-egged it.

The Mo-grill sausage stand on Monckebergstrasse, hmmmm!

I look forwards to rolling out my new DayTrade v2.0 component featuring the MaximizeProfit() method to increase my income exponentially. The financial markets won't know what has hit them!

Look on with envy, cretins!

If I didn't know better I'd guess this was a sockie.

I'm off to a wedding on New Year's Eve.

Quite a nice change, should last into New Year's Day.

Inocrrect. I did some serious Lisp porgramming this Christmas and this is the result.
