Any English speakers out there who are fluent in German and Portuguese?...

I'm pretty good in German and French.

And my neighbours are fluent in English, Italian, German, Portugese and Spanish. Naturally enough - they're not English.

Just got back from the chemist with a bewildering array of stuff.

Germoloids Soothing Toilet Tissues
Germoloids Ointment:
Germoloids Cream
Germoloids Suppositories
Germoloids HC Spray

I think I will try the Spray first. The trouble with cream and ointments is that you have to massage them in a bit and after a while you loose track of what you were supposed to be doing!

I always found "Preperation H" was good on the (w)hole, however YMMV.

The way jobs are advertised.

I get tired of reading through job specs, particularly the ones that have the following features;

repeated use of phrases such as ..... As the incumbent project manager you will.......i.e at the beginning of each sentence.
essential requirements for the post which are left to the end of a protracted spec.. For example, last year I read a perfect match until the last sentence... Fluent German and Portuguese.

Any English speakers out there who are fluent in German and Portuguese?

I could go on, but you guys know ...

Anyway so now I read the last para first, well after rate and duration!

Oh well, back to pushing the piles back up!
