Oh yes, that's a problem My father never had this problem, he called one of us children when he wanted to switch the channel

Unfortunately the TV in this room doesn't like turning on without the controller. *sighs* It's an evil piece of junk... so even if I did have children which I could use to turn on the TV for me, we'd still need to know where the controller is.

Hmmm, looks as if you needed a

Well, I found the controller. I am watching Seinfeld now. It is funny.

I've nevr watched it, don't even know if it's broadcasted here - what is it about ?

Well, it's meant to be a show about nothing. But it is about a stand up comedian (Jerry Seinfeld) and a few of his friends. But they have episodes which are pretty much about just real life things. One of the episodes is just them waiting for a table at a Chinese rastaurant for the whole episode. And another one is them wandering around a parking garage looking for their car. But yeah... it's a funny show, with some very weird episodes.

Sorry about the delay - was completely absorbed in searching abebooks for books

That's ok. *cuddle*


Go Seinfeld!

I hardly ever watch sitcoms, what my impression is when I get a glance of them, that they're all alike, ok, som are quite good, others are

Seinfeld is a very unique sitcom. It's not like any other. It annoys me that pretty much all sitcoms are the same, which is why I like Seinfeld so much. But I watch other sitcoms sometimes though, but that's usually only if I really have nothing else to do.

I can't judge, so I have to trust you on that
Have been to ebay now, am undecided whether to buy the books in German - which will probably be very cheap cause there's no offer yet, or to have them shipped from London, which will be more than five times the price

Well, it's your choice.

*spins around in her chair* I should really stop doing that, it makes me dizzy...

Makes me dizzy from watching already
Well, I think I should go for the original stuff, most of the fun is lost through the translation

As someone who can only speak one language, I don't really know anything about choosing which language to buy a book in.

But perhaps you will b able to choose one day

Maybe... probably not though. I don't think I am smart enough to become that good at another language.

Although I'm convinced that you ARE smart enough, it's in fact more a matter of practice than of cleverness

Well, I am not smart enough, and I am also too lazy.

That's ok ( I'm not your mom, so I'm allowed to say so ), it would be good if you had a German neighbour with no knowledge of English, then you'd probably learn fast

If I did, it wouldn't really make a difference seeing as I don't socialise with my neighbours. For all I know, one of my neighbours could be able to speak German. I should really try to talk to my neighbours more... I used to talk to the guy who lives across the street when I was little, but I haven't spoken to him in years.
