We have a lot of Irish people working here at the Sheraton and their accents just beg to be imitated. They also have the Irish deadpan obliviousness to their own humor. Two wee anecdotes about our Irish brethren. Peter who was doing his best to help us figure out why we had been given 11 days holiday. We managed to find explanations for most of the holiday days, then Peter says:"well if you resign you know you get your weekend plus an extra day off!" A lot of extra days off if you ask me. These extra days are called "good days". Then the other day James was telling us about a statue in Sendingertor in honor of the National Socialists (Hitler's old party). Also a marble statue with an eternal flame burning on top, which " wasn't lit on the day he went there".
