Two colleagues gave me some German essays to correct the other day. One was apparently done by google translations, for I didn't understand a word the bloke was trying to express. Some were really good, though, and some others made me laugh hard. One of the topics was Wenn du in Deutschland wählen dürftest, für welche Partei würdest du stimmen? Apart from the fact that they don't seem to have any idea about German politics (Ich würde entweder Die Grünen oder die FDP wählen...because they share the same aims, right), some got their vocab muddled up: Die CDU ist eine gute Party. Sie unterhält die Familienwerte... Otherwise everything is rosy. Received a postcard from Sydney saying that J+M are enjoying their trip, spent my last cash at Tesco, for I haven't received my first salary yet (and which is only due on the 25th. Patience is a virtue, right?), so I'll have to get my Sparkasse card out once more and 70 minutes of work is all that's standing between me and halfterm.

What else is happening in England? The English football team won its qualification match in Kazahkztan (or however you spell it), A Quantum of Solace and Saw V will be released soon and some atheist society has bought advertisement space on London's busses where the slogan There probably is no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life! will be displayed from January onwards. You see, life's rosy.

People complaining about the Deutsche Telekom should come over and try to open a BT line here. Sandra and Ben have been waiting for ages now and all they are told is It'll work tomorrow or Next week, I promise.
