The Sipgate looks excellent. I have done it and am waiting for the postal code. Thank you for the tip, Panda. Before having seen your post this afternoon, I had just started the process of getting mytello, which gives you super cheap calls (but not free) - it wasn't working at all, so I filled in th...

I feel like languid corpse is not a name any of us would have forgotten

Does the club bring any benefits to you at all?

My personal reaction would be to leave quick, before the Gutshein hits the fan, so to speak, but I am famously avoidant.

Ah, crap. Thanks.

Wait and see, I guess. Our Stadt is quite pleite, I think.

I think I had mine a few months after doing the Elster entry. It went down a tiny bit.

But maybe that was just an interim solution?

Or maybe our Landkreis was years ahead. That's hard to believe, we are second slowest for tax returns in all of Germany, or some such awfulness.

Well that's crap.

Sorry you had that experience. People are awful.

Thank you muchly, FF, that was a treat. The photos are stunning.

Ours have been renamed 'Oberschulen' - whether that was Land wide (Niedersachsen) or just our area, I couldn't say (from what Leon says, not the whole Land), but I would have no expectation of it being country-wide - Schulsachen being Ländersachen, not Bundessachen. And the renaming didn't involve a...

Quince are cool. Rather than chopping and peeling bricks (they are so hard!) I usually slow cook them until they are softer and then deal with them. They then smell amazing. I made quince cheese in the past, which was cool - essentially solid jam, which you slice and eat with cheese, or use as a spr...

Does the 'job centre' bit you refer to come from the title? If so, he means that his rent will get paid by the state, so a prospective landlord need not worry about him not being able to pay his rent. That's what I take from it, anyway. Mates of ours rent out rooms above their house in exactly this ...

Well thank you, Panda, that is lovely clear.

Now I know for sure from the old TT that Premium Bonds are taxable in Germany. On one of the Brit/Germany FB pages, a lady is asking this question and I think I'm the only one who is making this point. The others are all looking at the Lotto win laws, which allow for wins to be tax free if you are n...

@kiplette - What do you used your compost for when it's full of snails? 🤔 On the garden - we sift it first anyway, and snail eggs are quite obvious. Although I think I'm going to change my system and take the bucket to the other side of the Bolzplatz across the road - kid#1's research suggests they...

We used https://crcie.com/ these lads to negotiate ours. They were super helpful.

Oh, mate, thanks so much for typing all that out.

It looks actually do-able and I'm going to pick up my windfalls and give it a go. We've loads this year.

My husband (ex-police) suggests that the Rechtschutz needs to ask for proof that the photos are from the correct date and time, and that the witness should be properly questioned - where were you stood, what precisely could you see, blah blah.

Rather than everything just being accepted as truth.

That's a gigantic fine. I had a fine of something like 30 euros. The whole situation is nuts. Sorry this has happened. The thing pappnase has quoted shows that you need to communicate with the other party 'or a nearby police station' if that's not possible, not that every tiny infraction has to be r...

Ok, this I am very interested in. Have you had a go yourself and would you recommend a website/recipe?

Cider is lovely jubbly.

That sounds horrendous and I do hope you get to move somewhere lovely much sooner than the 2 years...
