On Saturday Oktoberfest is starting again here in Munich - crowds of people will be descending onto the city centre in search of completely overpriced beer (why, €11 for a litre of beer, yes please!), drunk tourists in cheap Dirndls and fake Lederhosen will be jumping onto the cycling tracks like they're suicidal and force me into F1-like evasive manoeuvres, the trains will be full of vomit, you'll need about half an hour to strong arm your way across the 150m of Mary's Square ... can I apply for asylum for three weeks in any of you guys' places? Preferences would be Norway, New Zealand, or Washington State/Montana/Minnesota.

You can come over here, and so long as you leave by Halloween you can come and go as you please. After that it all depends on the actions and decisions of some lollies.

That solves your problem for this Octoberfest.

The Band. I still have their original LP.
It you don't like this rendition of The Weight, then there's something wrong with you.
Edit to add, Yes Charlie, I know Robbie is a Canuckian.
