Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Update
Brushing up my language skills is going quite well. It's amazing how much I remember from my time spent in Germany. I'm ready to delete the first 2 disks from the iPod and load the next 2.
Interestingly, in the past month or so, we've picked up a new European Business Development Manager who's from Germany and still based there (technically we should be working closely together on new products/markets).
Added to that we've also got ourselves a new head of the R&D team who works out of the US but originally comes from Austria (we in Scotland will report to him). So maybe my newly honed skills will enable me to impress the boss (as my Engineering skills have resolutely failed to be noticed, even though I am a genius). At the very least I'll be able to understand him when he says something in German, under his breath, when faced with the latest project delay ;)

I don't think your boss will be fooled by your best 'Ich Nichen Liken'?
Anyway, Italian is much cooler, and easier!

Don't think I've actually nicked any "liken" from work yet... though obviously I may be wrong.
Hande Hoch, RAUS!
Italian is indeed piss easy. Just add either an "a", "i" or "o" to the end of the english word and they'll get the message.
Scorchio!
