The saying, "I'm all right, Jack (eff you!)" is hardly one you'd have needed to keep up to date with to have known. I believe, going by the milder version my father explained to me when I was 5*, it…

2b... You need to go to specsavers!!

I wouldn't call it exposing yourself walking around naked in a change room but some guys could be a little more discreet.

To get into university, you need the Abitur, which is the German baccalaureate, or a baccalaureate from another country, e.g. from Croatia.

Actually, you got it up your ass. Namely your confused conspiracy theories. Without your mental impotence it would even be possible for you to find tariffs without basic charge (to which I have…

I hope to make a complaint to send to the EU when I have spare time.
By complete coincidence during the last few months:

The dates of acquistion are confirmed for this month. As advised, wait and watch is the the thing to do. And being under German law helps.

Hi guys,
As I don't know anyone here in Hamburg, would anyone of you be interested to meet up and just chill? We could play cards, watch a movie, have a cup of coffee, whatever you want :).

The NRA have decided to stop selling their 2019 calendar "Girls with Guns" after members complained that it was difficult to masturbate

Nonsense. As I said the range of the LPG tank (about 540 km) was almost the same as that of the petrol tank. Plus I still had the petrol as a backup. Plus there are lots of LPG stations where I…

Yes, you can. Yes you can do it yourself. Yes, there is software to help you. The bare-bone is ELSTER provided for free by the tax authorities, but to me that's too complicated (probably it is not),…

Sorry for your sadness, HEM, but I have never heard of the guy.
As my boyfriend would say, "der Hebamme ist nimma Schuld!", or "his death can't be blamed on the midwife".

Just gooogled and yes, you're right. I hadn't heard of this until just now.

Yeah. They may even charge you for both apartments. Duty to stop paying for a given apartment only stops when you notify them of the move. So it's better to do it yourself.
