So ready for Weihnachtsferien...

I'm going to start this post by saying i love germany, i really do, but it takes its toll

After  a lovely relaxing weekend of pretending i'm not getting ill, Maastricht, drinking excellent beer and smoking some excellent somethingorother,  i'm now back to reality on a Monday.

And reality has hit HARD, impacting like Graham Bowman's fist on another unsuspecting waitress

We can't keep letting him do this..

Speaking german all day/night is tiring...and because its winter i'm slowing down like many a german pensioner. Thus my German has officially turned to crap (2 months progress down the drain) 

Im getting a cold, and its starting to destroy me from the inside, resulting in greater reduction of my mental faculties - ali go stupid(er)

The snow has its benefits, but its a lot more fun when things get cancelled and you can play in it....of course the fun police won't be letting that happen in Germany anytime soon 

Standard walk to work in Aachen

So im dreading tomorrow and the standard "make reading comprehension...watch it fail" scenario and instead absolutely jonesing for merry old England, proper snow related fun and complete lack of responsibility. 

Of course i'm just moaning, and by the time friday rolls around and im knee deep in Glühwein and Aachen Allemania then i'l have forgotten all about how shit the week may/or may not have been.

Nevertheless, the blog is basically an outlet for my ranting anyway, so il moan for now....besides i got a letter today from GEZ, which is essentially the same as the TV Licensing wankers in Britain, except it applies to Radio, and they count everything as being able to receive radio...mobile phones, computers, fridges, labradors 

EVERYTHING! And they are threatening my Mitbewohnern and myself with a hefty fine unless we pay up whatever bullshit fee we owe..

Fortunately we have decided as a WG to follow the "fuck it, let's wait and see" approach to these letters, until as Dan put it..."the police and GEZ come knocking at our door"....an event which im whole heartedly looking forward to.....

Unfortunately this is not what i meant earlier by the German "Fun Police" 

(see thats how you be sarcastic germany)
