i'm quite the smart ass

Hmm....thanks
But for now,- I've got 6 weeks Holidays. At least one good thing

Do you live in Germany? I didn't know we had that many holidays.

 

[darkCarpet]

Do you mean "much holidays"?

I'm sometimes the smart ass too.

 

[Bananenbieger]

Wouldn't it be better so say "I didn't know we had that long vacations"?

Who's the smartass now?

No, actually, I did not. 'That many' is a perfectly legal term in America.

And it wasn't about the length of the vacation but the amount of holidays. When he says he has six weeks holidays it means, that he has 6*7 holidays, which has nothing to do with vacation.

@ Banana

[PapzT]

[Bananenbieger]

...hmm. I think I'll watch a Futurama episode before I'll go to bed.

I'm gonna watch some Scrubs. It's too bad that hulu isn't working in Europe.

 

[Karud]

There are enough websites like hulu.com, which let you watch exactly what you want.

 

[Bananenbieger]

Or you'll get a DVD with English audio track at your local DVD rental.

 

[Karud]

Oh, that's so 2006.

 

[Bananenbieger]

Bite my shiny metal... :-D

 

[CraZyChris]

[Snoopy181]

Well, nickcaveman polarizes the people at Apfeltalk even after his leave.

 

[CraZyChris]
