This is an incredibly bizarre service offered on the web: rent a German
This site offers a wide range of Germans for your personal and social needs. " Imagine to appear with your German at parties, family Events, or just hang out with them at the local shopping centre"
Perhaps there's a demand for Rent-an-Englishman in Madrid? Sounds fun - I could dress up in the national costume - bowler hat and umbrella - or is it union jack shorts and vest? Then I could stand in the corner at parties, waiting for someone to speak to me...wait a minute that's what I do already!

I was thinking the same thing about English teachers in Spain.
Also, I was going to start an Extras / Models / foreigners available in Spain database but never did it because I could not figure out how to keep it up to date as there is so much turn over.

You must be far wealthier than I Fab, did you look at the prices? The cheapest package is for 750 euros a day, with a two day minimum. Thats 1500 euros! Flight included though, I guess thats makes it a bit better. Isn't there a German on the board who you could just promise free beer in order to get them to attend your next party? Odds are you'll save at least 100 euros that way.

Yeah, I noticed that, I am really bummed out about it. I think it might be a joke, or one of those sites going for a web contest on viral website growth.
I was really hoping to get this guy on a tux welcoming my fancy guests to my fancy party...
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

I am half Spanish and half Italian-American and could be rented starting at 100 euros a day (8 to 10 hours) or 50 euros for a half day (4 to 5 hours).
Send me your offer for consideration. I am taking bookings now!!!

Wish I´d known earlier Rocco, I´m having a BBQ today, and could have done with someone to hand round the food etc!!! Can we choose the dress code? I would need you in Speedos and a dicky bow

Well, if it is a BBQ and you actually expect the people to eat, you might want to reconsider having me only in speedos and a bow tie.
I have got to drop a few pounds of ugly fat...
And, No. Stop hanging out with jer or chop off your head are not a good answers.
