Re: C24 Bank €125 bonus

Maybe I am just too stupid for this, but I have set up an account with check 24.
Now I don´t know how to get to the offer, and to have it accepted - anybody care to point me in the right direction?

Re: What are you cooking today?

Well, it started yesterday, actually, but we had lentil and tomato soup for lunch - homemade, of course, with a BBC recipe: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lentil_and_tomato_soup_19393 - sooooo easy to cook, and so wonderfully gloopy!!! Anyway, since we only have one portion left for today, I am ...

October 31 1975: Release of the single "Bohemian rhapsody" by Queen. Yes, you have made us all feel old, but hey, wouldn´t it be great to get us all singing along to it, and maybe make a recording of the whole song together? - naturally with a bit of "tweaking" to make it half-w...

Re: Why are you happy today?

Happy today because my wife got the letters from the DE Rentenversicherung (& the TK) that as of 1st November she is a Rentner . Because she was a stay-at-home mum (politically incorrect) her pension is not massive but still welcome. Somewhat amazed since we only submitted the Antrag 5 weeks ag...

Re: Today's rant about whatever....

Well, maybe I am getting old and complaining a lot these days, but I have a pet topic at the moment - electricians! Since the end of august we have had the local electricians (based about 100m away as the crow flies) coming and going and fitting solar panels to our roofs. The final panels were fitte...

So DB put us in a Hotel in Munich. We had our fun time, including food and drink and music at Kilian, Irish Pub behind Frauenkirche.
I`m sure that if you had said so before, half the Munich TT team would have been there with you!!!

Maybe next time, huh?

Re: donating drugs

Not an official thing, but some doctors will take some medication back - I was once given a half-used pack of tablets by my GP, and also a prescription for more.
It might be worth asking.

Re: Problems in Supermarkets in Germany

Either way, the "be two customers" hack doesn't affect anyone, your number of customers per minute stats don't change because there are twice as many transactions. Actually, it does, since it goes by the number of items scanned per hour, and cashing-up takes time. As some of you may know,...

Re: Problems in Supermarkets in Germany

My trick: every 4th or 5th item on the conveyor should be something the cashier has to weigh. It works so well that I'm often waiting for the cashier to continue scanning items. I wonder if you folks even know that staff in certain stores get a written warning if they are "too slow" on th...

In Germany, the actual contract of sale takes place at the checkout - so whatever price is shown by the scanner is the current price for an item.
It isn´t good, but something to be aware of.

Re: Problems in Supermarkets in Germany

It is my decision not to bring myself in a situation where a discussion about this can be started. Absolutely! The bottom line is that we all want a quiet life, and to be able to go shopping without any bother. Unfortunately, due to some other people abusing the system, one has to be very careful w...
