Re: Could I go back to the UK?

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...

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 ...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

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.

Re: Weißwurst - how do you eat yours?

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...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

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...

Re: Starship ready for launch

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...

Re: How did you learn German?

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.

Re: Don't get caught by this latest ATM scam

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.
