Brilliant as always, Karl. Love the fact that you're not worried about saying the quiet part out loud. I hope I can be as courageous as you if/when the time comes for me here...I've already lost a few friends here b/c of that...must not have been friends to begin with is what I think...

I tend to keep a low profile..not being completely fluent in the language can be a help at times :) Or at least pretending not to be ;) I just force them to speak English with me when they try and screw me over b/c "I know your English is better than my Swedish so I'm going to speak English with you now", gets them every time b/c 9 times out of 10 their English sucks worse than my Swedish and they won't admit that even to themselves...
