hTTi

Sorry Alberto for my (typical) drifting off topic. Hamburg also offers their school children a D Karte for free? So, I guess the cancellation thing not so important. I am mentioning this as some people I know did not know about discounts, etc.

Talk about mistakes, I know someone who bought D Ticket for a 20 year old at full price via DB, not realising BW offers a discount. Many states do, some more generous than others. Hamburg is generous, 19 for schoolkids, 34.80 until 21 (until 27 if you can prove you are studying). LIve and learn.

I could find those prices too, so maybe just a glitch? I have also managed to book trains with the "no price available" thingy by ringing someone, though it was a while ago, so forget how. For Austria, perhaps booking via OBB?

aagghh

I like the sofa and chairs. Ours are collapsed. Cannot locate the hash tag/sofa porn

The worst is, it could still arrive but you will not know. I sent 3 things a few weeks ago all to Hamburg. One (very urgent) express DHL same day or overnight Cost 26 euros for small package. Took over 4 days. One per Einschreibung (mit Einwurf) so just an extra 2.50 ish. Took 3 days. One totally no...

Lorreta Swift was best known as "Hot Lips" Houlihan from the TV show M.A.S.H. What a great name. Yet another very funny half hour comedy show from America: Where are they these days? I agree. Most of the more recent funny soaps do not match up. Please, please someone tell me I am wrong an...

Try and not let bits get into a sink. Excellent for some cleaning, but pretty crap in water supply. So try to vacuum, sweep up any debris and put in black bin.

Much too dry here. I am tempted to go camping at the North Sea early June, so can pretty much guarantee a week of solid rain for Schleswig Holstein.

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...

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...

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.

If you google this you get a miriad of answers. It seems very weird.

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 ...

Well done! Last time I drove was in UK about 10 years ago, if not longer. I do have a DE licence now. I would be happyish to drive in town. I have experience of driving on right and left. But I find the motorway driving awful awful awful. I mean, like stopping distances between cars?? So many arses....

Not just men, Colin...

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...

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...
