Well out of my depth
Got a job in my sandwich year as an Export Sales Rep, spoke reasonably good French and Spanish, so those customers weren't so much of a problem. Although the trouble was, 70% of our customer base was, in fact, in Germany and Austria. I managed to wing it for the year and get by using a my one years' study of the language, a phrasebook and the customer's knowledge of English. While I was well out of my depth, I was a jammy little sod and this subtle lack of language skill was never apparent to my boss - it probably helped that he was UK based, and I was usually abroad.

» Have you ever started a fire?
I once put a half-nine bar in the microwave to soften it in order to chop it
I was a bit stoned and forgot about it. The strong smell of burning hash about 2 minutes later reminded me pretty quickly to remove it. I managed to salvage about half of it. What a twunt.

Huey Lewis and the News albums
Not only 'Fore' but 'Sports' also...
Saving grace is that they are both on vinyl (showing how long ago it was when I bought them)
I'll get me coat
