Would have thought they would have said something.......
I remember that evening when you tried to be Jamiegrips. Valiant effort 8)
to get out of this country - passport, wallet, towel (I blame Douglas Adams)
In the other country - it depends is this 1st or 3rd world?
If in the US = purveyors of good (i.e. non-domestic) cheese & beer, micro producers / breweries are counted as non-domestic 😉
I asked them to adopt me too. I could've been going to Germany 🙁
I'll look after Molly if your going to Germany.
3 things?
Purple passion nail varnish
No7 ivory foundation
Yolanda
so what you're saying is my chances of becoming philgripsequence are flying away to another country?

You boys should have let ME know you wanted to be adopted, Mol is terrible abt getting things done in a timely fashion 😉
I'm thinking Kindle, computer and peanut butter currently
Keys
Wallet
Phone
Aspirin condoms and toothbrush

Germany hmmmm.....
You can leave your sense of humour behind. You won't be needing that.
Genuine LOL at KT 😆
Nowt. When in Rome.............
But they're going to Germany. 🙄
If it's anything like Spain: marmite, garam masala and golden syrup.
Germany eh, tea bags, Heinz Beans, Salad Cream. This comes from someone who regularly takes this lot over for our friends who live in Stuttgart!
Tea bags ( the tea that you will be offered will come with lemon 🙁 ).
Mature cheddar.
A sense of adventure.
Heinz Beans
Brand whore!! 🙂
Aspirin condoms and toothbrush
Sounds like a fun night in you're going to have there.
*tuts at Juan and his love of stereotyping*juan - Member
Genuine LOL at KT

If it's anything like Spain: marmite [b]Carrefour Alcobendas[/b], garam masala [b]Embajadores and Carrefour Alcobendas[/b] and golden syrup [b]Carrefour Alcobendas[/b].
El Corte Ingles Sanchinarro should also furnish you with them and there's a shop on Santa Engracia, Alonso Martinez...
Happy New Year old chap. 😉
Germany ehh?
Arse in the air, long TT, 80mm hardtail then
Orange 5
Orange Patriot
Kona Zing road bike
EDIT: rkk are you saying that the Patriot will scare the locals?
Don't bother with a dictionary, loudhailer or mobile phone.
They have ways of making you talk.

The 5 would probably achieve that!!
In that case, 63mm race bike and lycra.
we won't be needing condoms...
do they have Mayo? (not that Mol will care as he hates mayo and salad cream)
what abt malt vinegar for chips?
Do they do TexMex fixings in the groceries?
passport, wallet, camera.
Cheers donsimon, though Carrefour Alcobendas is a bit of a drive for me - I end up ordering mail order from these guys: http://www.thefoodhall.es/
To the Grips: get out there, prebook a trip home in a month's time, see what's not available, and when you head back get it. There's [b]nothing[/b] critical you'll need that you can't get in Germany.
OMG! The Food Hall has these.

Cheers mogrim
Whatever you do when you're there don't try any of the local fare as you might just find it's better than in the UK.
Ok, so Molly and erm...Jamie 😳
donsimon, you really not seen the food hall before??? What kind of expat are you?
There use to be a 'British' shop in Cologne, we visited every month for Walkers Crisps, McVities Digestives and Tetley Tea.
The only things I missed in Finland were tea and vinegar. Not because I refused the Finnish way but the Finnish way for chips is not to have vinegar, and the tea wasn't to my taste 🙂
Jelly babies, Shreddies, and proper sausages are what my kids want when we are in Sweden. Oh Fish and Chips but they might not travel so well.
