I thought about it once or twice as long as my mother was still alive, but when she died I could not find a reason to move back. My kids are here as well as the grandkids and I would wilt like a primrose if I couldn´t see them, also the UK would be a foreign country, I have no assets there, no famil...

A private investigator is contacted with a job offer, and asked to come to the penthouse suite of a skyscraper. During the long elevator ride up, he can't help but wonder what the job is, and whether it's worth taking. When he finally arrives in the suite, he finds a well-dressed gentleman sitting ...

HR during the interview:
„How do you explain this four year gap on your resume?“
„That’s when I went to Yale!“
HR: „That’s very impressive. You´re hired“
„Thanks man, I really need this Yob“

Trying to be posh are they?

Just finished restoring a HMV 102 from 1943. Sounds great even if the soundbox is a Soviet made knock-off.
So, I am listening to shellacks.

that is what I have done up until now. Just have to remain flexible.

Oh you barbarians, a pox on your knifes and forks and people who skin their Weißwurst are Preiß´n! Regardless of where ever you come from Weißwurst is eaten by taking the Weißwurst in your fingers, with skin, dipping it in Händlmayer sweet Senf and just biting. Enjoy the Knack of the skin giving way...

I´ll drop this here.

Woke up this morning at ten to six. Got up, went for a pee, had breakfast, watched the news and around nine decided that it had been too early and that I needed to go back to sleep. Now it´s almost three and one of my precious two days off is half gone and the sink is still full of dishes and pots a...

And try to take a swig out of a bottle of water without putting your eye in danger.

Actually no, I don´t think so. The launch went perfectly, the hot staging and relighting of the vacuum engines went well. I think where it went wrong was that there was a rest atmosphere in the ship when it opened the bay doors, you can see it in the footage and if I remember the space shuttle had t...

Starship.... "ENGAGE!"

Slung into a German school, seventh class, in Donauwörth at 12 and coming fresh off the boat from Blackburn I hardly spoke English.
So it was sink or swim.
Left Germany in 1999 and came back in 2020.

An alien space ship lands on the White House lawn. We are thrilled to find the alien is very human-like and very friendly. He asks if our president can set up a meeting of the leaders of all nations of the world, which he certainly can do. So in a week there’s a huge meeting with the leaders of 200 ...

Loving this one.

I have a special hatred for these Eurocash things that have sprung up like poison mushrooms all over the place. As long as you use a local card they behave like any other ATM, but if you use a non local card then they have an option to use either their own conversion rate for foreign cards and that ...

Maybe you should consider travelling at a different time of year or something?

Can´t, had to do the holiday thing a year in advance. Hate that by the way.
