We're hoping this won't result in you being turfed out of Austria....

Luckily there's emergency chocolate in the fridge here, so I'm not finding this image too triggering!

My absolute highlight of our now complete 250 episodes: Derek Rae @raecomm.bsky.social gracing us with an unforgettable moment of audio brilliance.

Thanks to all our guests and all our listeners for supporting us for 250 episodes. It's been great.

That's all, folks. Tschรผsseldorf.

As we approach the finish line, we focus much of the episode on buffet strategy, but still have time to hear about Nic's recent trip to the UK.... which triggers a biscuit-related rant from Simon.

Ep 249: "Vorletzte Haltestelle". Out now!

For our penultimate episode we have a listener email to pore over. We also outline strategies for maximising a hotel buffet. Finally Nic tells us about a dream pub lunch and we ponder who sends out the worst tourists, Britain or Germany?

How do you pronounce muesli? Seems obvious, right? So how come Nic seems to be adding new vowels when he says it? Simon and Producer Simon try and work it outโ€ฆ

Keep your ears peeled; we'll drop some more "Moin" before we wind this thing up!
I remember going for a lakeside day-trip during the 70s (Kindergarten if you're wondering...) and we weren't allowed near the water till 30 mins after lunch.

We visit the slightly odd world of the local Freibad with Nic and discuss the retirement of a one-man bottle-capping factory. We also look at a case of rainwater theft and ask whether rainwater can really belong to anyone?
