    I'll work it if I can, if they'll let me.

    If not then you've got yourself a date my friend

      Although fair play to you, thought you wouldn't do it. Well done.
      SAS praise. It's dirty and wrong, but feels sooooooooooooooooo right

      I shall pin it on my lapel.

          Any other Brits working there?

          When I did my first contract in Europe there were a few others around who really helped me find my feet - pubs, restaurants, laundry (till I got a flat), transport (I was getting taxis everywhere at first). Before long I felt right at home. They mostly went home weekends but I stayed to do a bit of tourist stuff and get to know the city I was working in - a map and just walk everywhere around the centre is the way to do it.

          Get one city under yer belt the rest comes easy although I was used to travelling it's different being away from home for work.

            Of all the countries I've worked in Germany and Holland were the friendliest.

              And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                Germany; agreed.
                Holland; not so.
                Denmark was a good laugh.

The exit from the tram way was a kerb, and long grass verge. It was like playing driver on the Playstation.

                    No doubt I'll get my letter from Interpol

                    Once leaving Belgium the satnav and roads became much much easier.

                    Should have told us you were going through the Belgiumland. Wonderful cities, great food, amusingly eccentric people, tulip roads.

                    I once destroyed the suspension of a rather nice Alfa on the motorway from Brussels to Spa. Hit a pothole at 130 kmh and it was never the same again.

                      Did a couple of years there and quite enjoyed it. Once you get used to their driving. The French have a saying - as safe as a Belgian pavement.
