What I remember is the Versandtasche. However, none of the Post branches in Rewe and the like have such things. I hope what I sent was okay. I guess I'll know soon enough. It was my passport renewal, so if it busts wide open, I am in a spot.

But that is even weirder, like the small padded yellow ones? I bought some last week. They also have corrugated cardboards not yellow ones. Anyway, hope whatever you used works.

The Consulate website says no padded or corrugated envelopes, just paper or light cardboard that isn't easily torn. I had to use what was there that I could buy. Here's hoping.

Groucho Marx once said: "I do not want to be associated with a club that accepts people like me as honorary members".

As a big fan of Top Gear, I was flummoxed to find new car material with Jeremy Clarkson on Youtube.

It took me a while to realize that this is not really Jeremy Clarkson, but an AI generated voice that sounds like Jermey Clarkson.
Frightening, really.
