Aye we'll have quite a few pints with a fish n chip supper to finish off (unless we pull a couple of crackers then the fish n chips can bugger off)

I would say my apartment is on the second floor. You would say my flat is on the first floor. My car's engine is under the hood. Your motor is under the bonnet. The roof is over my head. You sit under the hood. My luggage goes in the trunk. You put your cases in the boot.

If you visit America, never, ever tell a woman you'll come 'round tomorrow and knock her up.

STEED will probably enquire "Anyone got a fag I can borrow"?

Next to the ACCUMULATOR! PS: have you tried microwave hot wet towels with a dab of Vicks around the nostrils for this sinus thing so you can make to the air races.

They are number 8, but the top 7 are all frozen snow realms, not enough motorcycle riding time. And Austria's cousin, Australia, is full of deadly spiders, snakes, and birds, too risky. I will see what is required to emigrate to Austria and set up a small mountain cottage. What's the cost of living like in Austria? Is there a bunch of crazy taxes, like England's TV tax?

What does a loaf of bread cost in Austria? I know gas is high, but I can deal with that.

What language do Austrians speak? Any other helpful tips are welcome

I live in the suburbs and regularly go camping in the bush . I have never seen deadly spiders , birds , crocs or sharks . A handful of snakes in 50 years . Get your facts right . I must admit , lots of axe wielding psychopathic killers but deadly animals are rare .

Ok , I admit those handful have been killers . Red belly blacks , king browns , death adders etc .

I seen one a few years ago heading towards a backyard from a grassy park down the road from where I live .
I stood on a death adder once while on Moreton island .
I had a red bellied black crawl across my shoes while playing golf .
Actually the place is riddled with snakes now that I think of it .

German? Ok, got it. Can you imagine what German sounds like with a Texan accent? I hear it at restaurants in central Texas all the time.

Or you could always learn Slovenian and live in Klagenfurt in Karianthia and then jump down to Slovenia from time to time. That is if you can survive the perilous mountain trip with more swerves than a snake.

As for your other questions, well, I'm not Austrian, but for a lot of goods Slovenians still go to shop there because of the better quality/price ration. So I'm guessing things aren't that pricey, if you have their salaries/pensions that is. I hope your 401k can survive our (European) taxes!
