Re: What got you flummoxed today?

We had lovely elderly widow living opposite us for over 20 years. 3/4 bed semi, nice garden. London house prices and UK inheritance tax prompted her only son the suggest she sign it over to him, to try and avoid the latter. He promptly sold it and put her in a tiny, tiny OAP bedsit down the road. Sh...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

As an add on, we have an old folk home near us. Until recently we heard a guy screaming near our road, quite few times. My son and I have both responded. The guy was blind, and hated his life at the home, and wanted to get to the bus stop to take him 10 mins to his old stomping ground. But he had go...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

It is really tricky working out how to respond to people like her. Germans tend to be honest. Like, I need you to leave me alone. Have had a couple of intrusive disturbed people here. Both harmless. But they picked on me, basically because I was a bit weak in responding to their intrusions. Which I ...

So close relatives (siblings, spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents) seem to be generally included. Not cousins perhaps.

Re: What are you cooking today?

OK you good cooks on here. There is an Italian place here that mainly caters for good hotels and restaurants, but opens on Saturdays to the public. She has had lovely tartlettes (shortcrust) filled with a creamy lemon filling. I am pretty sure it is uncooked. Probably marscapone and lemon, not that ...

But I find the motorway driving awful awful awful. I mean, like stopping distances between cars?? So many arses....

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

I put Himself in the hospital yesterday. I feel greatly relieved - had been nursing him for almost 3 weeks. I won't go into details - lung and heart stuff - but am glad he is where he needs to be. He already has a treatment plan. He thought nothing would happen over Easter weekend. Sorry to here he...

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

Mine was much less pleasant and inconclusive. That after drinking all that crap and sitting on the toilet for 9 hours. Doctor shamed me and said my colon wasn't clean enough. Not to mention stuff running down my leg all the way home. Now I get to have a CT. Ain't getting old fun? I would not be sur...

Re: What got you flummoxed today?

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, ...

Recommended accomodation in Hamburg

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.
