I say, could you come a little closer with that spanker?

Sorry, where was I? German. Yes. I learned some of that when I worked there.

I have given up even thinking about learning another language, I was in Zurich for a few years and I was asked if I wanted to learn Swiss German.

I ask why would I want to learn a language that only has a 30 mile radius

Work is an english speaking project and weekday evenings are spent with a landaner so I dont get as much practice in as I'd like

I was there on and off for 2 years, but I worked with Americans so I didn't pick up much German.

Good stuff Chef.

I've just landed a maternity cover extension for a year, but I can't believe anyone would stay off that long so I'll probably be on my bike earlier.

Could be longer, I thought most women handed in their notice the day before they're due to return?

You never know - my brother-in-law's first teaching job was maternity cover for one term. She never came back, and he was there for nine years.
