Hi Paul, Michael,

I guess there's just no getting past you guys is there? Or is
self-deprecation really that unexpected in the narcissistic frenzy that is
COV (well all of Usenet from that matter)?

You all must be a hoot at the pub. Next time bring a whiteboard with
magnetic chickens & eggs. See when the guy crescendos to "We were so poor,
there were fifteen of us and we all lived in a paper bag at the side of the
road!" he doesn't really mean it - honestly.

Having lived in Deutschland for 15 months I can understand Michael's wacky
"Das ist funny ja?" sense of humour, in the absence of somebody slapping
someone :-) But Paul what's up? You must have been in Switzerland too long?

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. I'm not slagging anyone off here; we loved our time in Munich, and if
there was an opportunity there I'd be back tomorrow! But when we lived on
NymphenburgerStrasse in Neuhausen we'd go to the English Cinema every now
and then; so too would many of the native German-speakers (who spoke English
better than me and didn't want the film dubbed.) It was certainly confusing
for us to sometimes be laughing amidst almost total silence and other times
have the rest of the theatre erupt into laughter while we were scratching
our heads. Having said that, Michael is undoubtedly Prussian and God only
knows what passes for humour up there ;-)
