So I got bored this evening and decided to walk to to the local Italian restaurant, which has a bar.
I walked in, asked to speak in English if possible. This set the cat amongst the German pigeons as no one spoke any kind of English.
As quick as a flash I stepped in, apologised for the imposition, and said I would try my best in German.
So I explained my rather complicated imposition, ordered a glass or wine, borrowed a fag and a lighter and made comment on the Italian football match currently being screened.
Then proceeded to explain who I was, what the fook I was doing there, etc etc.
Got into quite a chit chat with the locals.
After about 20 minutes, one of said locals said "so what specifically is wrong with your German?"
All was spoken in German.
I was so lost in the moment, and so ensconced on red wine I quite forgot my German was crap and just spoke it.
Weird feeling, when you forget what language you are speaking and just get airborne.
Quite pleased.
