Dear diary
I just joined in with H2G2, it is very nice. I wish you were here... oh, you are. Anyroad up, I'm a little worried as the first line of the Add an Entry page says: "We all lead interesting lives". I am not sure I do, maybe I won't fit in, maybe they'll call me Chairman Awfully-boring, maybe I'll develop an acute form of paranoia. Yes, I know that's what you're thinking but it's not my fault, it's THEM! Hopefully there are other dull people out there (I have met several on my travels) who may listen. To the rest of you "May you continue to live in Interesting Times".
The Chairman

oh, don't you worry, I'm dull! 
I think nobody finds his/her own life interesting all the time... It would really get boring after some time, just thinking everything is interesting!
But there's something I don't really get : you're an Englishman, living in Germany, or what? And WHY? A job? Studying? Research?
nope, not curious at all...

And your lack of curiosity is comendable! I'm a Brit and I'm out here in Germland, have been for 1, no, 2 long now. To get a feeling of my feelings, read "Tada, tada, tada" if you can find it.
Keep the faith

GENT!?! That was a prime tourist spot to take the relatives WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN BELGIUM!!!! Yep, there is life after Bruxelles (or is that "Brussel"?) 
from 7-11 I was at the ecole no. 5 in Ixelles (Elsen?) Alors on peut se parler en francais mais je crois que mon Flamand n'est plus aussi bon! I can still say "Mama give lisa a kiss" in Flemish, but it doesn't get you very far!
C'est trop injuste!

yeah, Gent! It's a very nice place to live (my personal opinion). But I might be going to Berlin for a short period as well, in the (near?) future...
I must say (and yes, I am deeply ashamed) that my French isn't nearly as good as yours (no kidding..). English is a lot easier for me to use, in fact. My Italian is better than my French, after only studying it for a year!

so anche parlare l'italiano ma ho forgotten most of it! But I must say, as an english teacher here (business english- see [link removed b y moderator]) your English is superb!

Honey³ Posted May 28, 2001
I'm genuinely flattered, mister...
But I really don't think it's very good... It should be better. (being a perfectionist doesn't hurt - most of the times)
Si, parlo l'italiano, ma non molto bene. Il problema è che non sempre posso dire che voglio dire, quindi preferisco dire niente...

Sorry... Didn't want to 'question your judgment', I'm just very difficult in accepting compliments. It's got probably something to do with a persistent lack of selfesteem...
Anyway, I hope that was NOT a typical example of German-Englisch (Genglisch)? Because in thàt case I don't envy you at all!

Chairman Mei Posted May 30, 2001
Drat! I should love to have been envied just the once! I have NO difficulty accepting compliments... just receiving them
