Wonder if I'm being too ambitious but fancy turning a SmartCar into a stretch limo and installing a pipe organ. Restricted to thirty-two foot pipes or the low bridges would be too restrictive.
On the other hand probably have too much to play with already.

First I'd build a recording studio and music room to house the following additions to my instrument collection.

Baritone sax
A better flute.
Martin D-28
A Rickenbacker 360/12
Gretsch Jet Firebird with Bigsby trem
Gretsch Catalina club drums in walnut glaze finish
And you can't miss out a baby grand and a top notch keyboard

I'd never work and buy far too much music to ever manage to listen to.

yeah well...

Typical student! Worse than MPs! We worked and fought in many World Wars and for what? To spend our fading days in penury supporting work shy no-nothings. We sweated to form the Welfare State, yet the only reward is that he spends his student grant on subsidised hooch and drugs in the union bar. Then he invents weight conscious wheely bins, oh dear ....... mumble ......... rant........... snooze ................ ugh ................

Have we been here before?
Over to you, Lee...........................................................

As least I wouldn't get it all claimed on my expenses...

By the way, I had a job all through my time at university so far but I didn't go in for two weeks because of my end of year exams, consequently I've now been sacked and have no money over summer as I broke my contract of 14 hours a week minimum.

Just to kill it off Old git, I'm now looking for a job in Germany and I'll be behind enemy lines sponging off of them for the next academic year!
No fees, government grant, erasmus grant and if it wasn't for your efforts in the war I wouldn't have to go to Germany to learn the language 😛

Lee,
Got room in your suitcase?
Which University are you off to? Used to know a bit of the Schleswig area and the Hartz foothills. Never managed the Oktoberfest, so don't miss that but Rosen Montag was a hoot. I'm certain that the Dortmunder and Holsten brews along with schnapps and the various local spirits destroyed all remaining brain cells. Loved it out there, do likewise. 🙂

Germany

Ah memories fond and not so fond. Cycling down the Romantische Strasse through Southern Germany. Running, drunk along the top of the Berlin Wall, just across no man's land from Spandau Prison, where Hess was still incarcerated. Happy times at the bars favoured by AWOL soldiers in Berlin. Happy if embarrassing accidentally ending up in a bar called 'The Lonely Boy':shocked: in Hamburg. Getting caught up in th middle of a gunfight in the same city.:shocked:

Ah- hanging out with a bunch of german bikers in Freiburg, getting very drunk on the Altstaat (possibly spelt wrong) in Dusseldorf & feeling the international oneness of speaking drunkese, finding the strange, car free silence of 1980s Berlin faintly creepy.... Ah, fun times....

 

[Pjonah]

Can't top any of those, although I might have done inadvertantly and unwittingly. I'd usually passed out by the 2nd day of the Viessen and brought back to life with slow infusions of Radler and Schwein Hackzer and that German classic Currywurst!:welldone

I forgot to add, if money were no object, I'd go for world peace......zzzzzz

 

[Linky Lee]

well, I'm going to North Germany, Muenster to be exact (Fachhochschule). Anytime soon now just trying to sort out the last few details of housing and work.

I've done the Oktoberfest trip, a whole week of booze, blooz finally turning into boooozzzzeee by about the third day. We were camping too. Setting up the tent at 2am after a "cheap flight" surrounded by a gang of Auzzies and a few Liverpudlians for good measure was quite a hoot once the Jaeger got round a enough times.

Micro-brewery bars in Freiburg over christmas with the streets littered with people suddenly disappearing into masses of snow was classic.

Munich beer halls and corner fag machines as an under age youth corrupting our host family's children was far too much fun. And I'll never forget going back to visit them a couple years and spend a week in their school system. That was pure quality.

Anyway, I've got my map of Germany... with the beer badges marking the towns and cities of their origins. I'm looking forward to trying some Hanka and Brinkhoffs as the popular local brews. A little trip up to Bremen for the Becks brewery seems to be in order.

If you get near to Munich, drop me a pm....

I've made quite a few friends down that way through my travels. And I'll probably be going to Oktoberfest again this year. So I'll definately be down that neck of the woods at some point.
