    Not reading the FAQ'n'Manual

    WHEN, for the millionth time in a week, someone new arrives with the same old questions as have been answered in the First Timers Guide and the growing mass of sticky threads, as well as in all the earlier threads started by people who couldn't find these things and think that "doing your own research" is just coming on with 1 post and "hi I'm new to this and I was wondering...";

    THEN we know that if we point these people in the right direction and mention to them that they are not the first to go contracting and so their questions are not new, they will get all stroppy about our "attitide":

    SO why not just refrain from answering? Then they will have to go and read for themselves. If they really are newbie contractors, and not just caravanners or Cornish farmers trying to wind us up.

    expat,

    I think you are taking things too seriously

    probably you have a lot on

    go out tonight, have a few beers and go down to Living, it's the place underneath the ECB tower, plenty of birds your age and good beer on offer

    let your hair down

    you'll feel better for it

    Milan.

        I say just ignore them or dont answer. I think an admin should be deleting the threads as they serve no points.

          socker,

          if the admins did that there'd be no threads in this forum !!

          careful what you wish for.

            Haven't been to El Living in ages. Where else for pick-up spots ?

              I went out last night and had a few grappas. Would love to say I feel better for it. Grrrr!

              As for a place full of birds my age, I'll certainly make a note of that.

                you should go to Living tomorrow, Thursday nights are good there

                plus, in the center of FaM there are loads of after work parties at the
                different bars especially at the end of the Zeil near the Alter Oper
                and in the banking district

                get in there

                Milan.

                  The Fressgasse, ja. That's not what I want from my life. In fact with working (just outside Frankfurt) 8 till 8 or so, flying out Monday and back Friday, I'm kind of occupied. Thinking of ways to eat dinner and phone home at the same time.

                    Fressgasse ain't hip. But where is in this town? You must try the Coralis (sp?) Christmas brew at the new Austrian restaurant on Am Salz ? near Cafe Karin. Tasty and blows your head off. Best schnitzel in the city too.
