Airport

I'm writing this from Munich Airport's internet room, and being forced to use IE. Gah.

Stupidly it doesn't even have Java, so I can't log into Milliways :( Internet my arse, what you really mean is Web, and not even much of that.

Anyway... as you might have guessed, I'm finally coming home today, after over 3 months in Germany. Woot. My flight leaves at 21:15 local time (20:15 UK time iirc), so I have lots of time to kill. I'm not going to do it here though - the internet time costs far too much (€2.50 for 30 minutes).

I'm going to be spending at least some of that time reading an Asterix comic I bought yesterday. This is a special edition (I think it's called Asterix and the Roman Agent in English) where the Gauls speak in Bavarian dialect and pretty much everyone else (at least the Romans and the pirates) in standard German. Just the contrast between the two is amusing. But of course you have to carefully figure out what exactly they're saying, because the spelling is totally different.
