    I have to spend the next 3 days there - any ideas what to do? Presumably its pretty cr@p on a monday and tuesday night!
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

    Nah. Huge amount of unemployed or students so Monday is like any other day. Head for the former Eastern part where all the bars and clubs are - forget names but any guide book should have 'em.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Looks like the Western Germany is working their arse off, but the Eastern one is partying like it was still reunification day?

          Wander down to Oranji thingy strasse and tag onto one of the organised pub crawls. At the McDonalds end of the road there is an old squat which is now quite a decent bar. Opposite there is an excellent indian. I have absolutely no idea what they are called though 'cos I'm always far to too pissed when I get there.

          There is also is a strange trade there with lots of delightful eastern european girls who seem to want to park elderly gentlemens cars for them. You should be very concerned about their welfare since they seem to own very little clothing.

          Don't expect to find a taxi without a bit of hoofing about in the early hours and I also found I could never get into a bank with my UK card in order to use the cash dispenser.

            This place is good for a laugh
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              You got it spot on though I had no problem getting a taxi, 2 nights running I flagged down a cab and paid with a £10 note after 'spending' all my euro's.

              Also those girls you mention are pretty good at finding working cash machines.

                    I don't think Tony is as into gay saunas as you are.
