   Please don't drag that up again, I hate it when people claim I can't   
   speak English just because I live in Germany with a German 'Ausweis'.   
      
   I always say I speak 1 language, 0.5 English and 0.5 German. It's both   
   equally good/bad.   
      
   In fact, in writing, I have much more practice in English than in   
   German. (Voice I have more practice in German, and a horrible   
   Lancashire/German accent when I speak English, for lack of practice.)   
      
   Do you have Teamspeak? We could chat then, and you see for yourself, eh,   
   hear. :)
