Yeah everytime I get yelled at while working customer service, it slowly chips away at my humanity, I'm slowly becoming an apathetic uncaring a!+!~!* about everything. Soon the transition will be complete.

I’m glad I don’t work in a job where I have regular contact with random members of the public anymore, but sometimes (in my probably misguided nostalgia) I think I would prefer that to regular dealings with needy or clueless clients and demanding and rude project managers.

There's a Texaco station about 6 miles south of us that stocks more than one hundred beers. Plus dozens of wines. The people who run it are English-types and are known to play Munchkin on occasion (mainly due to their autistic son). So many parallels . . .
Anyway, only "three more years" until I can drink!

Spend some time working at the time of night the drunks make their way home - you'll soon start thinking it might not be a bad idea to raise the legal drinking age to 65... Then you'll remember how nice it is to sip on a glass of whiskey when you get back home from work and stop grouching.

I thought Nutella was Italian? At least I saw it (or something very similar to it) for sale all over Italy, and this (supposedly) authentic Italian cafe near where I live sells these pastry things with Nutella on them.

Untrue (and the Spanish will seek compensation if you keep spreading such rumours!) ;-)

Yes! Now that we have suffered The Wrath of Garydee, we must have the Search for Orthos!
Jess: Those kitties will be fine. They just like for you to worry about them.
German food: Everybody doesn't love it?
I love it, even though I'm a vegetarian! Unfortunately, a lot of German food has been subsumed into American culture (and UK), so it's hard to tell them apart. Plus, it's pretty similar to Scandinavian food. German food I like (including meat): wurst, those-things-that-are-called-danishes-here-but-differently-elsewhere, other pastries, spaetzel, goulash (more Austrian, but whatever), breads, potatoes, stews (with and without beef). Plus others that I can't remember. German food is hearty, not wimpy and French! <descends into pro-Germany rant>

first of all, thank you Mothman, so far no one I know has catched it *knocks on wood*
well, the spanish cucumbers where not contaminated with that EHEC germ - just with a bunch of other fecal germs, they should keep really quiet right now
Nutella is indeed an Italian invention but as far as I know most popular here in Germany mmmmmmmm Nutella *wanders of to make himself breakfast*

we had a very german lunch as well, Kartoffelgemüse(I could not even found a english translation) with hog's head cheese, liverwurst and blood sausage (well, in theorie, I HATE blood sausage) then the first cherries and redcurrants right from the tree/bush
:-D
I feel very rural right now
Hit it Hank
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Yeah, all those countries should break up. I'd love to visit the kingdom of Bavaria. Except for any UK country: they need to stay the hell put.
