Nick on TV:
“I’m not a TV junky, I always preferred reality – spending time with my dear friends Heathcliff Huxtable, Homer Simpson and Colt Sivas. Ironically, now that Zattoo enables them to visit me even during office hours, I’m too busy working because of Zattoo. Most games of German Bundesliga are shown on the week-ends though and fortunately my favourite team 1. FC Koeln is back again.”
