I think we should have a meet in The Wild Geese or similar in Brussels and toast Fleety.

Well starting on 15th is Fasching here and local pub (and many others) will be open for 80 hours non-stop.

Germans call the pre-Lenten Carnival season die närrische Saison ("the foolish season") or die fünfte Jahreszeit ("the fifth season"). Except for Munich's Oktoberfest, it is the one time of year when many normally staid Germans (and Austrians and Swiss) loosen up and go a little crazy. Fastnacht or Karneval is a "movable feast" (ein beweglicher Festtag) that depends on the date of Easter (Ostern). In 2007 Fastnacht falls on February 20 (Faschingsdienstag). The official start of the Fasching season is either January 7 (the day after Ephiphany, Dreikönige) or the 11th day of the 11th month (Elfter im Elften, Nov. 11), depending on the region. That gives the Carnival guilds (Zünfte) three to four months to organize each year's events (Carnival balls, parades, royalty, etc.) leading up to the big bash in the week before Ash Wednesday (Aschermittwoch), when the Lenten season (die Fastenzeit) begins.

I can't justify a trip to Amsterdam any longer as I am married. How about Vienna?

Once I am over on the mainland I fully intended to make the most of the travelling opportunities.. give me a month or to settle in and the beers are on me...

Any punters fancy a meet for a beer or two?
