Sign in the changing room at the Muswell Hill gym: "Nurofen Capulets available at reception."

So what do you do if your allegiance lies with the Montagues? Are you doomed to endless pain?

In other news, I've got myself a book on Japanese. I now know how to say "Good evening, honourable Totoro. Nice to meet you." Which should come in very handy if the catbus should call by our house one of these rainy nights.

Actually, I could really use a catbus round about now.

Absolutely. Or where the railway station is - one of the first things I learnt in German. Wie kommen Sie am besten zum Bahnhof, bitte? I think...

Oh yes, always thought it odd that in every language I've encountered, they want to get you to ask where the post-office is, as though you must, above all other things in a foreign country, is buy some stamps...

Anyway. Where's the station. Simplest way:

Eki wa doko desu ka? [where's the station?]

Koko no chikaku ni eki ga arimasu ka?

[Is there a station near here?]

Biiru o hitotsu onegaishimasu :)
[One beer, please!]
