1. It is easier to get a job at Pate's than to get in as a pupil. 950 pupils applied and took the test last week to get one of the 120 places the school offers. Maybe we should advise the kids to apply for a job there.
2. Ben has finally found a job, even if we could all see him do something better than making sandwiches for Soho Café in the middle of the night (working hours 10pm-5am which keeps him from going out with us at the moment). Still, I'm glad he's got something.
3. I love blunders. Today, a pupil told me: Mein Laptop hat gebrochen. No comment.
4. The Observer magazine had an article about that female serial killer in Germany whose DNA keeps getting found at crime scenes. Bad Kreuznach was mentioned!
5. I missed all the good stuff on Friday evening: meeting three natives, two of which apparently were really handsome, going to the home of one of them for a glass of wine, hiding, because the bloke forgot his keys, had to wake up his parents and didn't want them to know he brought five people to the house and, finally, getting kicked out at 4 am without further warning.
6. The Ladies' College finally had their Guy Fawkes firework display yesterday evening. Was quite nice, but I'm glad I won't be bothered by any more of them for the next 7 weeks.
7. Went to Bentleys again with Sandra, Thomas and Angel, collectively drooled over the hot barkeeper.
8. A propos drooling: Aaron and Veronica, a German/English couple, and friends of J+M, whom I met four years ago, were invited for Sunday lunch and they brought their baby, Elisabeth. They raise the girl bilingually, and hope she'll be able to speak three languages fluently when older: Bavarian, German and English. The only way Aaron practices his German is by watching DSF and reading SportBild. He is quite an avid 1860 München fan and tries to raise his daughter to be one, as well. The poor child has bibs and dummies that sport the 1860 logo and is even a member of the young supporters club. But then, Aaron owns a toaster that burns the logo into the bread. Good fun! They are very nice people, though (even though Aaron hates Jürgen Klopp), and offered to take me along to Stratford whenever they go and they go a lot!
9. After I watched The Cabinet of Dr Caligari yesterday, I now have a wish for Christmas : Von Caligari zu Hitler by Sigfried Kracauer ;)

A) Hurrah: BK mentioned in a British quality paper.
B) But you can´t get two things for Christmas! Who do you think we are????
Ich will ein Foto von einem Toast mit einem 1860-Logo! :-DD Das es so was überhaupt gibt, geht mir nicht in den Kopf! Das ist ja fast so überflüssig wie ein automatischer Lutscherdreher...
