i'm going off to be a language assnt in austria in a week. i'm 20, they finish school there at 19, unless they repeat a year or two in which case they'll be my age or older! HELP

Did you name your dog 'Eric' after Eric Swatridge, by the way? (Whatever became of him, anyway? He had greatness written all over him.)
Think your memory's playing tricks.....!
I think my listing said something like "married, no brats, one dog (Eric)"...
No, he's called Eric after the Monty Python sketch 'Eric the half-a-bee'. If you remember, all the bloke's pets were called 'Eric'. And.....the name suits him.

I#m sure you'll enjoy it Hendrik!
well, even if the school didn't get the law involved, it would still cost me my degree.
please, no jokes about 'helping them practise their oral'...
If it`s any "consolation" Hendrik, a friend of mine from uni`s been married for over 20 years to someone he taught as a language assistant in Germany!! And their relationship wasn`t frowned on in the least by the school - or the pupils for that matter!
Follwing Mrs C's point... whilst on the German Drinking (sorry, Study!) visit on my Grecians, an old language assistant from the school turned up to the main meal with a girl who had left CH a couple of years previously - and they were now together!
Dave, have you never seen the Film 'Basic Instinct'??
There's a rather famous scene in which Ms.Stone crosses and uncrosses her legs in a provocative manner, having completely forgotten to put her knickers on that morning......
Pondering further on the forgetfulness of the lady in question (and the Blues who followed her example!!) I am bemused by the word "completely". No doubt, the Housey girls remembered to forget only partially: thus preserving their modesty and sparing the blushes of the unfortunate teacher. ??

I think you'll find that Englishangel's friends were doing this some time before Sharon Stone managed to make it famous (Basic Instinct was released in 1992, I think).
I also think you'll find that the action was exactly intended to make the poor bloke blush.
Re. 'completely' - sorry, I had the voice of Adrian Edmondson in my head for some reason - you just have to imagine him saying it.
Anyway, talking of Sharon's undies - maybe she left them at the barber's.......
