False alarm I'm afraid! He's just put on an extra cardy. Can't be too careful at -17C on the 4th floor of trendy uptown Berlin.
Can I get you another chilled Bud Phritz?

When you work it is lucrative but you often get the sack with 5 minutes notice.

So I could be pensioned off again next week.

Intend to work no more than 2 years and then call it quits.

Mick



Then we could have the benefit of your full undivided attention on here Our Mick, couldn't we!

Fritz


P.S. Landmark decision allowing same sex British couples to adopt lots of little girls I thought, innit! Rather that, than some poxy kids home, or even worse, a religiously orientated 'forward thinking' care establishment, I can almost see that idiot Hewitt nodding her head to these very words.

Question to any Paddys ot Jocks oot there?


The subject arose last eve of the difference between the Gaelic use when clinking glasses or toasting something; of the words Slainte & Slainte Vah, the second of which I've heard the Irish use in the past, and thought it was possibly a 'high language' thing, anybody out there any the wiser please?


Fritz the Man******

I didn't know that Our Mick was born in a leap year, it would explain a lot though **********

Apparently it's his 49th birthday today? but you know me ****** I don't want to conclude any jumping, though I'm happy that my present headache will be the last this year at least, innit*****

Just had to turn down a Polish party tonight, very dangerous:

Slange a vah - Good health to you, often shortened just to Slange before firing down a good dram of Uisge Beatha - Water of life (single malt whisky). Thats the Scottish Gaelic, the Irish is slightly different eg. Uisce Beatha but then the only "proper" whisky is a Scottish single malt Winker

I suppose that when one is reminded of the 700 parliamentary hours wasted on bullshitting about fox hunting (which still continues anyway) and the, er, 7 whole hours debating sending British troops to get killed in an unwinnable war in Iraq under bogus auspices as well; it makes one wonder hour many hours (minutes of this Oh so valuable precious time) was spent on discussing allowing single sex couples to adopt babies & children in Britain, dunnit?


Of course one can go fox hunting in France anyway, especially now that England is in Europe at last, innit ******


**** = Guess which smileys I'm thinking of?

This?
Posted on: 31 December 2005 by Berlin Fritz
Wrong! it was this **


Did you know that while us mere mortals enjoy hangovers, Our Mick enjoys the flue/cold *
Posted on: 31 December 2005 by Nime
Praps we'd better lay off Mick today.

Nah. He was laid awf already! Boom-what?

Happy New Year Australia (Who just went through)



Of course now that England's in Europe, you'll enjoy going through to 2006 a, er, full hour later than, er, Europe, innit ****

Fritz

P.S. Just had the brilliant Hard Days Night for breakfast with that popular music group in it, innit *

N.B. Please don't use 4 letter expletives like 'love' in your posts John, it's really not cricket, and to be honest, it's rather frightening actually*

Pulling this thread back to it's subject . . .

YES!

Kids need love, security and nurturing; there is no reason at all why gay couples can't offer this any more or less than straight ones.

Roll on tolerance

Yes.
I think the same thing.

Nicely put! though can I presume that you love, sorry, I mean live, in the UK John? *


Luigi my old Cheese, I wouldn't have expected anything other from you, you're obviously a man of Compassion *

N.B. My roving South American Rozza mate's just mailed me from Brit Hondouras where he'll celebrate the festivities in big style no doubt! (Hope he doesn't get Malaria too, very partial to the old tubby drunken gin-quinine sodden Germans, are those Giant Mossies) innit ***
