Re: The Weather

Will summer properly resume or is he gone? Oops, this might be my fault. I have to get a new knee but since my poor Irish body struggles so much with the heat, I opted to push the date to October so that it'd be cooler when I'm in hospital and reha. Given what it has been like the last few weeks, I...

Former Conservative cabinet minister Norman Tebbit has died aged 94. He will be remembered by older brits everywhere, the changes that came to pass under Thatchers government were hugely supported by Tebbit. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gk98ng4e8o Suppose, nobody else will remember him or car...

Re: Whats up in the South?

I was driving through Garmish the other weekend, I noticed that the Wank garage had shut for good. This garage was featured on a much older version of Top Gear many years ago. All very sad to see it gone. It seemed that somebody had taken their car to the Wank garage, and the car came back with a lo...

Re: Live music gigs

yesterday, you might enjoy watching Sting playing with Chris Botti at the Java Jazz Festival. I like their whole performance but Sting does his old stuff as well. I've watched the whole thing about 5 times. I was never a big Sting fan until I saw it. Thank you, for making me aware of this. Sorry I ...

Re: avoiding the middle of the day

Heard on the radio that, its going to cool down now for a while.

Maybe this is all down to Global warning, and maybe its just a couple of odd summers, who knows.

Its the lack of rain that really annoys me

Re: Live music gigs

yeah well I was tempted to go see him, but I thought it would be nothing like the smiths again. I remember going to see Sting at Ischgl, years ago....., I skied away very disappointed, almost no police songs, just his new creative jazz crap. Ok, i was there for free, but what a waste of my skiing ti...

Re: Bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities

Unfortunately or not, there are no real rules for how things should happen in these kinda of situations. Normally the might is right rule applies, ie the greatest ( biggest ) military powers will decide what should happen and implement it with their might. The UN etc will chime in, but the might is ...

Re: Bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities

While I just do not like the current situation, I should also say, I am not happy with middle eastern countries ( and many other countries ) gaining Nuclear weapons either. I am not sure what can be done in a more nice way to prevent them from getting the bomb, probably nothing. It seemed that Ameri...

Re: The Weather

We are finally having rain on and off here way down yonder, but what we really need is at least a few days of downpour. The water levels in the Rhein and the Bodensee are abysmal and the shoreline everywhere has receded like crazy. This has made life especially complicated for the waterfowl. It's a...

Re: German cities do badly in expat analysis

This is all a bit subjective Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices It gives 6 different measures on the quality of life in various cities, I am sure you could make up rules in a hundred different ways, to give one city an advantage over another. Or just use things like i...

I do not know much about it, but if you want to fight to stay, then I would say join a Mieterverein. There are plenty around, even in Munich.

Re: ‘Odd’ request from imminent new Uk tenant

I used to be a UK landlord, but not anymore ... Seems to me that they are asking for a rent reduction, if they will rent for a longer time ( 6 months ), if you are not happy about the length, maybe consider asking them for a 1 year ( or more ) contract for the reduction. Only you can decide how much...
