Just finished the 2nd / newly released series of
The Diplomat on Netflix

Well worth it!

And a terrific and unexpected cliff hanger at the very end (no spoiler from me)

Good for you HEM!

Keep up with the physio!!

Yuch,

and I thought sweet and sour was something vaguely Chinese

Are you worried by letters from the Finanzamt? Does each FA letter cause you tremors? Imagine that you didn't receive one but 1700 letters, all identical, on the same day... Thats what happened to this guy in Quickborn (Schleswig-Holstein) Quote : A man in Quickborn , Schleswig-Holstein, will not so...

Once you see it, you can't unsee it !!

for their travel health insurance. (Reisekrankenversicherung).

Stiftung WarenTest reports them as being TOP of the pile, but
I have never claimed though.

Works for me with several trips abroad over the year.

Wandering around a furniture shop the other day, I couldn't understand the description of a sofa with " Nosagunterfederung ". The mixture of English and Deutsch threw my comprehension out until my wife spotted that the sofa will not sag and has a collection of springs in its base to help w...

A fuse will only blow if it overloads. That is long after you're dead. Only there to protect the equipment/wiring What you are demonstrating is a failed RCD (Germans say FI Schalter). This should break the circuit if a tiny residual current leaks to earth. This protects you!! Urgently get the landlo...

I also wonder if proof reading is now only done by AI.

At those prices, wouldn't it be cheaper / easier to rent over here?
Additionally, the rented car wouldn't be so obvious (so less risky)

Just my thoughts...

A Dr. has written a thesis and has gained the qualification 'Doctor' It could be maths or English or whatever. Or in your case a medical Doctor. Passing the exams to be allowed to practice medicine in Germany is enough. Aside: In the UK I was treated by Dr. Smith. But the consultant surgeon was Mr. ...

He was reported to the police by some kids (police of course warned beforehand). Reported to school staff by other kids. The point was however ...

Many thanks, Panda for the explicit and complete answer. Yes, I have a German pension. So my chance getting the NHS to pay my German GKV are now zero. I have to work out if a sojourn in Ireland or the Netherlands would be possible or even worthwhile. Thanks again for the details...even though not wh...

To clarify PKV = Private Krankenversicherung (Private Health Insurance) GKV = Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung (Statutory Health Insurance) I am privately insured and want to change to statutory health insurance. So I took out private health insurance some 20 years ago for all sorts of reasons. I'm n...

If there is a lump sum coming your way in those 10 yrs, then arrange before you sign the mortgage that early repayments are allowed. That way any windfalls can be used to lower your borrowed capital thus reducing monthly payment. eg aging aunt or whoever inheritance, bonus from work. Costs a little ...

'did you see how she spun, all the way to the back of the bus?'

Just golden!

No, the UK didn't have a central residence register, at least when I lived there.
To get a credit anywhere, I needed to show 3 different 'official' bills to prove I live at a certain address...eg a gas, phone and elec bill.

The idea of an identity card, or Anmeldung was definitely 'not British '

So I started to fill in my UK pension form - to tell them that I want to claim a pension.

They want my UK addresses (all 35 years of them) since leaving my parents house until leaving the UK.

I'm not really a beer drinker, more of a slosh of wine now and again. Went to the bar in Eckernförde yesterday after a lovely sailing day and a refreshing beer was high on my list Now I'm used to beer going in the big hole at the top of the glass...and that there isn't any other way. So I was seriou...
