I saw a slight haze in the hotel bathroom this morning after I took a shower, have I discovered a new planet?
I like the music to God Save the Queen, perhaps just some reworked lyrics?
Hey, you know what should be the national anthem? Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. Not only is it uplifting, not only is it a fine piece of craftsmanship from this country's most iconic composer, but it is quintessentially English and you can dance to it and you don't have to sing. What more could you ask for?
Oh take me now and ravish me, Wardogg.
If Gayer doesn't remember you, you might as well do yourself a favor and become an hero.
there is a difference between touching a muff and putting your hand into it isn't there?
Not a big fan of Belgium, although I have only been to Brussels so I could be looking at it from a Bias point of view.
I love visiting Germany. Germany is awesome and German's are unsettlingly nice. They are probably up to something.
Belgium is also incredibly sexy. But assuming you are an ignorant monolingual Yank, stick to England.
And anyhow, I know that the majority of Germans speak English. You can keep Belgium though, I don't care about that one.

My advisor lived in Germany for a few years and to learn the language she had to move to an urban locale just so people would stop speaking English to her. And as I already mentioned I've taken 2 years of it, with that foundation and being surrounded by German I'm sure I'd pick it up quickly. The best way to learn a language is to integrate yourself after all.
It's all about context.No German has ever switched to English with me, and during my recent hitchhike through Europe I couldn't count the amount of times I needed to translate for people who had no German.
I don't know what you're implying, but you're probably wrong.
Liverpool doesn't have a good reputation, but I've never been there. Personally I wouldn't want to live there myself. It's near the peak district tho.
