I do not understand the logic of banning someone from being in a particular county of UK (for 3 months) after he was caught shoplifting. Seems to be homeless. I would think having him stay in his usual hangout would make it easier to police him? Also, over 200 GBP worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs. Also, ...

Advice on where could be good to stay, preferably not too grim. I have done that stuff but am getting much too old for that. Am okay with budget as long as not too scary. Thanks for replies.

Possibly, but one awful awful dentist I had here has fab reccomnendations....

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Hausarzt near central Hamburg? Ditto dentist, but that need not be so central. We have met with some pretty weird dentists here and in the UK. Doing unnecessary stuff like replacing filling that don't need it. Many thanks.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Hausarzt near central Hamburg? Ditto dentist, but that need not be so central. We have met with some pretty weird dentists here (though have an amazing one here in HD now). I do not like going to dentists without recommendations, here and in the UK. Too m...

Ha, sorry this is a bit off topic but could not find a better home. I am puzzled about President Trump doing all this stuff, EOs and such. Are Congress or whatever approving these things? Do they not have to? I have no understanding about how the US system works. It just has flumoxxed me a bit (did ...

Yes, or similar I think the guy was in a delivery van, and drove into him to stop further carnage. Thank goodness.

Anyone know why this is happening? It used to be so great. [..] It depends on who delivers: Is the item so small that it fits into an envelope and the post man can bring it (The yellow dressed guy/gal on a bicycle)? Or is it so bulky that a driver and the DHL truck needs to come to your place? It i...

Sorry, people. I keep seeing that I have not sent a post, when I have. Please be patient x

I realise that a mini not usually that deadly, Low profile, etc. I guess for that reason it did not alarm the police.
But possibly that was the point. The people at the back of the trade union marchers were people with babies or children in prams or buggies It is just awful.

I guess the police in the car, behind the end of the Verdi march thought they were doing a good job. They allowed the little car pass. A nice minii a posh München Resident heading home. But then it accelerated and hit 29 people The mother and baby are both dead. How thick are police.

No, you are right, my neighbours are fine I am also a major taker-in-of-packages. Once again it is a problem re my youngest child, in the new place. It is apartments and there is a ton of new neighbours, he does not know any of them. Well he knows (kind of) 2 now. Thanked them profusely, etc. But th...

I am confused about DHL It seems to be more difficult to divert a packet than it used to be. So, you would get a tracking notification, and one of the options was to divert it to a local DHL place, say, if you were not going to be home. But this option is disappearing. If you click on the I info thi...

When I switched my UK licence to German a couple of years ago, they let me keep my UK licence as it allows me to drive a 7.5 truck AND a trailer (in the UK). I have not driven for years. It feels like I should pop over and give it a whirl, while I still can. Hey, I extensive experience, a tractor wi...

OK, another update. Most of your clothes ideas worked really well, thank you so much. But, about 10 days before his new placement they announced they needed suits. I have no idea why C&A are fine for shirts and coats and whatever, but their suit jackets were way too small. His shoulders were too...

So, just an update. Son found flat at reasonable for Hamburg rent, very near the Hbf. Short walk to work, and college. Of course, dodgy area, but balanced by a huge police presence. He is loving it /so far) Thanks for all your helpful advice.

I am confident I have maxed out on contributions a few years ago, using the remarkably clonky old system of long phone conversations, followed up with a letter about 6 months later, outlining forecast and giving a long list of contributions required. Then paying them, and not getting any acknowledge...

I think possibly the US slang it is better known as "beating the bishop".

He has been bashing the bishop again.
