  Tickets to the World Cup 2006 final would be good. Cheers.

  Sorry, mate, I don't think they're on sale yet - and won't the final be in Munich anyway, at the old Olympiastadion? Or am I being presumptuous. I'll see what I can do.

  You know right, Tommie - and if you develop super-sensitive hearing you'll hear both your name and this web address preceding a chinking and drinking....consider it done.

  ... and oh yes -- WHY are you going there?

  Funny story - I got an e-mail through from one of my old housemates saying "We're going to Berlin with Ryanair. Do you want to join us. I spent a while working it out, and in the end said "Yes". On the phone the other day I thought I'd ask what inspired such a venture.

Apparently, my friend (who is the best Mathematician I know) finishes his exam on 27th January, and doesn't have anything to do until 7th February. My old housemate decided he ought to do something to celebrate, and looked on Ryanair and picked Berlin as it was somewhere no-one had been before.

I was a bit worried at first - but two of us have German A-Levels, and I'm excited about the non-hangover beer. Result all round I think.

In short, I have no real idea why we're going. As for the chocolate, I'll see what I can do.

  ... aber Sie schrieben besser als mich! (Ich habe auch keine Umlauten). Denke ich, dass ich habe jetzt meine DeutschWoertebuch im Haus, weil ich hatte zwei Jahre DeutscheSprache studiert im Uni -- (word order be damned!! -- and that's why I failed German?) I DO like the language for all it's metre-long words and gutteral intensity... you? As for speaking, how hard can it be to ask for beer?

  I was trying for more, but I fell down saying "Why are we calling each other 'Sie' - don't we know one another better than that. Congratulations, though - its a wonderful hidden gift to have a language up your sleeve.

Ich mag Deutsch auch - wie Sie sagen, es gibt viele(n?) sehr lange(n?) Wörten.

Enough, I think, though. As for my German, only time will tell if I can use it functionally, but I'm glad of this refresher.

  -- du hast Recht! Ich will "du" immer sagen... Der Mann meines Mutter kommt aus Bavaria. Sehr Europaishen!! Du hast gesagt, dass du "A-levels" haben. Was meinst du denn? Kennst du mich?

  Aagh, Ich sprache Deutsch nicht so gut!

Ja, Ich habe ein Deutsche A-Level - Ich sprachte Deutsch (wann ich 18 war) wie ein Kinder der Zehn Jahren haben.

Jetzt, Ich habe viele Problemen (Meistens grammatisch) aber Ich schreibe nur was ich denke richtig ist.

So, no, I was never really good at German, and this comment will prove that. However, I seem to be able to...get by....if you will. I should be alright for three days, all going well.

  Damn, i thought you were already away, and was waiting to call you soon. Well, anyway, i'll tell you all here instead:
Tomorrow, i'm going to Dublin!!! I couldnt stop thinking about Kids venture to somewhere he'd never been to before, and so i too looked on the cheap airline webpages, and was considering going to Sweden for a few days. But then the prices rose, and so we checked out Dublin, and me and 4 mates are off, Thursday morning til Satuday night.

So, anyone want anything Irish?
