Wouldn't you need KK again? Sounds like an unnecessary and expensive mission...

Awesome! Thanks indeed!

Kid#1 is 30 this year :shock: and kid#4 had the idea of sending a 30 sign with a lot of old people jokes written on the back. There are some at work but he is not allowed to take one, fair enough. Is it possible to buy/acquire old/damaged signs in Germany or is that a no-no? If so, any idea where? H...

Ha! Good job, Spain! Well deserved!

It was marvellous.

Actual sport being played, fun being had.

Tonight's will presumably be less cool.

Gosh, Mik the bacon, that's proper sad, and as you say, 63 is no age.

If anyone knows his family, please let them know he mattered here, is mourned and they are in our thoughts as they learn to live without him.

I happened to read this thread on Friday 9th Jan A friend took my photo with her phone, following the instructions on the application website. The photo is evaluated when you upload it during the application and they'll immediately inform you if the photo is considered "good" or "poo...

There's an Aktion going on this year in which my local wool shop is taking part, 'Bis März 2027 sollen 36.000 Paar handgestrickte Socken für Obdachlose gesammelt werden.' So knitting socks for the homeless. My shop is hosting a monthly knitting circle. Go look at the knitting/wool shops and they'll ...

Yup, we sometimes call helicopters Bellypoppers - his books are so cool. Some of the film versions are very good, too.

I enjoyed both posts - the challenge of 'reading' the text and the explanation of what's really going on. Very much a thing to ponder, thank you! My schoolteacher had a party piece she did which was Cinderella and worked on a similar principle - fewer letters messed with I think...always great fun. ...

Oh, looking good!

Right, going to be brave and go for it.

Alberto, how are yours doing? (irrelevant quotation used as a calling card )
Did you do your grand tomato shelter project last year?

Anyone put their windowsill plants out yet?

I'm thinking of being brave tomorrow - wetter app seems to think the Eisheiligen were an accurate last frost prediction this year...

Parsnips haven't sprouted, but I might try another lot.

Equiniti do seem to operate on an annoying revolving schedule of insisting on doing things one way and then changing their minds... Apparently you can write an email giving them authority to send you documents by email :roll: including : · Full name: · Date of birth: · Unique pension reference numbe...

It sounds like it would be easier for him just to leave it until he dies and let someone else deal with it. That's my plan anyway for dealing with the 110m2 cellar, double garage and shed all completely filled with 30-odd years of crap! :lol: Yup, kid#3 has got ahead of that one and has a very effe...

Excellent, thank you.

Oh, super, thank you. Usually we don't have to pay anything, rather we get money back from them, so just the Widerspruch, with a copy of last year's Jarhresrechnung, then?

Well, Wednesday evening we found an overlooked Jahresabrechnung from the Stadtwerke which luckily I opened straight away, since it asks for 16.000€ to be paid by the 10th April. We had a Zählerwechsel last October, and kid#3 who was here at the time doesn't have a photo of the number at the time. We...

Yup, my other half as well. Not next year, but not a full 10 years as I remember.

I remember back in the day people were mentioning that their cards came with expiry dates coinciding with their GB passports.

So that might be worth a look, especially given the current problems people are having with UK travel.
