Sorry to leave you all hanging.
What a strange week. On Wednesday they told me they'd given the job to someone else and the next day they offered me a different job. Same money, same 3 month deal, same location...just a more interesting role, better suited to me and leading my CV somewhere far more interesting.
I start on Tuesday!
But seriously, which would you rather be, a Hamburger, a Frankfurter or a Berliner?
Translation: Hamburger = minced cow in a sesame seed bun (other types of bun are available), Frankfurter = minced pork in a sausage or Berliner = a doughnut.
Time to use my classic jaw-dropping play on words again, methinks. You see, Frankfurt is in the state of Hessen. And plastic in German is Kunststoff. When you say something is 'plasticky' or artificial the word is 'kunstlich'. So I ask people: Does that mean that something from Hessen is 'hesslich'? 'Haesslich', by the way (which is pronunciated the same as hesslich would be in some parts of Germany and pronunciated 'expresso' in other parts) actually means ugly. The real word for something from Hessen is 'hessisch'...
Laugh? Not if you're hessisch...

Just popped in to see how everything was going and just had to say a huge congratulations to you Moose on your new job as a hesslicher Frankfurter!
Hope everyone ok and safe in this awful weather. Stay tucked up in the warm indoors is what I'd advise!
Have a good weekend one and all!
