Yeah. They’re made to last.
I thought “cookie” was some kind of euphomism for weird kinky kind of sexual postion. I assumed “I’m out of cookie for the weekend” is a code for “my girlfriend is away for the weekend”.
I admire your imagination…
Cue the soft-porn music! Timeto climb Mount Lisl!
In the 21st century? Really? Europe just dropped a little in my estimation. I can’t stand that we can’t buy alcohol in this state on Sundays, but all stores? I think my head just exploded a little bit. :eek:
Just curious. The wars of the last 100 years or so have taken out more than few buildings that were “made to last”. 
I believe you’re thinking of “nookie”. 
I seriously hope that I’m just ahead of you, because that’s just a little sick otherwise. :eek:
Not all countries are like that, but most. Stores are open around the clock in lots of places in the UK, but yeah, mainland Europe hasn’t yet fully adapted US shopping habits.
Yeah, you’re a few minutes ahead of me, and as a result I sounded necrophiliac.
I just can’t get my head around that. Europe is generally more secular than the US, but stores still are closed on the day that we now call the Sabbath?
I don’t think it’s based on any kind of religious restrictions. It’s merely that limited hour workweek seems more strictly enforced. People don’t seem to work weekends and people don’t work 80 hours like we do in the US. Well, that’s how it seems like to me.
Oh good, I was a bit worried. Although that explain the complications in finding someone “Greece-worthy”.
It began as Sabbath but has long ago become a measure to ensure that workers in shops aren’t exploited.
There’s also a more or less broad consensus in society that speaks out against stores being open 24/7 because they explicitly don’t want a further Americanization of our culture where shopping is possible at any time and they want to keep at least one day shopping-free so that people spend the time with their families. At least that’s the idea.
And you would be entirely correct.
Complications such as smuggling dead bodies of Austrian aristocracy into Europe?
Which reminds me of a funny thing sixth-graders asked a colleague of mine in history class. They wanted to know whether the Ancient Egyptians already had “protestitutes” (sic!) - when he asked what they meant, they were like “come on, you know, WHORES!”
Why do your 6th grade German students want to know if ancient Egyptians had prostitutes?
So, basically, foreigners are lazy.
So now they have to spend time with their families instead of church? Ooh, tough choice. 
How’d you get them out in the first place?
He said thermite. That was NOT thermite explosion.
Probably because of the “world’s oldest profession” thing, I’d imagine.
Flames you can’t put out tend to be problematic for movies. And most people probably wouldn’t know the difference.
