XTC, great choice there john. This is my fave I think..

Totally agree with you there, it's not going to speed up anything at the gate, it just gives them another avenue to sell you upgrades and gather metrics and data from you. Many, many, people struggle with using their phones, people get flustered, screen-savers kick in etc. With a paper boarding card...

DB != Ryanair. The point I was making was that sice this is a thread about Ryanair and they have said that everyone needs to use the app, so if the app is down it's a Ryanair problem. Other apps/other services require other backup plans. I never get on a train without a paper copy, just because thei...

You can take screenshots and paper copies if you like, but if the app goes down, it goes down for everyone and it becomes a RyanAir problem.
They can find you based on the details in your passport and process you onboard that way, it just takes longer and is more work.

Why are you making such a song and dance about this? Just checking before you fly as you would have done before.

Unhappy because I just realised that today is a public holiday in Bremen but not in Berlin. My official place of work is Berlin even though I work from home in Bremen except for 8 days per year. What that means is I completely failed to prepare for Halloween tonight. I didn't go out and buy sweeties...

We moved ours over many years ago (2008), but at the time we simply asked our bank in Germany what to do, and they told us that transfers between our UK and German accounts didn't need reporting. My suggestion is to talk to your Sparkasse before the move and see what they say. They will probably nee...

Well all I can say is that's really shitty of those employers. I don't do anything to make life harder for my cashier, I try to only shop in supermarkets with self-scan and there I never even speak to a cashier other than if i need approval to buy some item that requires an age check. In supermarket...

I wonder if you folks even know that staff in certain stores get a written warning if they are "too slow" on the till? ^^^ This is in fact the problem, not people like Alma or Alberto making life easy for themselves. You (and most other store workers) work damned hard for your money, and ...

I suspect €120 per cleaning is what your dentist would charge you if you pay directly, but that the insurance pays somewhat less. I also suspect that like all insurance policies they rely on the fact that many people will buy the insurance but never claim, and so averaged over all their customers it...

Yeah that's dead, same way that mine went last month, although to be fair to mine, it did get knocked off a kitchen table onto a hard tile floor. In the end I bought a Framework https://frame.work/de/en laptop, they are somewhat more expensive than others of similar spec, however replacing a hinge (...

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories
And feel their warmth
And know that they are good

Yeah, monofocal.

I don't drive, but I'm sure I would be fine driving as well, I certainly meet the requirements for the UK driving license (I just checked). I get on fine without glasses for most of my "day to day" stuff. I have the text on my smart-phone set to a bigger size so I can use that without glas...

Booked in for cataract surgery next Thursday. I'm only ( ;) ) 53! I really, really hope it is the right decision... I had mine done aged 49, had to be done because I couldn't see the computer screen anymore and I work all day in front of a screen. Was quick and painless, and replacing my expensive ...
