And I guess they are up to speed on UK gift/inheritance tax stuff.  

I'm happy with my gigabit Cable from Vodafone, I had Kabel-Deutschland a long time ago, who got taken over by Vodafone... then for some reason, my apartment building was not approved for cable and I could only get DSL... This year I happened to check, and cable is allowed here again, so I switched from O2 DSL to Vodafone Cable as quickly as possible. I have a month to month plan, so I can cancel at any time, but I haven't had any problems. I didn't have any issues in the past either.   I work from home, so I also need it stabile- with DSL, you'll have the "Zwangstrennung" where your DSL goes offline for a few minutes everyday... its some archaic German thing, and it drove me crazy!

This lawyer describes the new employee contract law from August 1st. Even  if you are the owner of a small company and have enough bureaucracy to deal with- you have to check this out.

On a dark and stormy night, a jazz bebop group, including a  pianist, a bass player, and drummer and a saxophonist, were going to a paying gig when a big blast of wind pushed the car sideways and off the road.  They all perished in the crash. But, miraculously, they all came to stand at St. Peter's gate and were met by the very joyous St. Pete, himself. "Hey, you four cool cats!  What's up?  Sorry 'bout what happened to you but, at least you're here!  And I have got two pieces of news for you - though it might be, good news and bad news.  Which do  you want first?" The pianist, the leader of the group said, "All things considered, we  could all use some good news." St. Peter exclaimed, "Well, I'm happy to tell you that you're gonna get a great pad where you can practice all you want, any time you want - no complaints!  The Big Man loves jazz!  And you only are encouraged to play on weekends, but you get all you can eat!" The hipsters were happy to hear that.  "Great!  Now, what's the bad news?" St. Pete said, "Well, you see, God's got a girl friend..." The bass player said, "And?" St. Peter, grimaced and said, "Well, she likes to sing!"

I asked Jugendamt and they told me to do another Antrag to have the contract signed. Yes, one does not need to have sole custody to ahve the contract signed, but my argument is the following: do I need to do an Antrag every time I need a darn signature? Because if he doesn't want to sign something so banal as a Kindergarten contract, he will not sign anything in the future as well. He even told me so that he will not cooperate to make my life as difficult as possible.  I guess we will wait and see what will happen on Wednesday. I will do another post entry to let you all know. 

As Russian I can for sure tell you that the accent in the video is incredibly far away from Russian. Given that she says she lives in Muc for 16 years already... And yes, it does sound way more like French accent for me (key is a lot of "u" sounds).

My sons both had Covid recently, and sure, it was not that bad, did not end up in hospital.  But nah.  Would not want the fever, joint pain, hacking cough and, oh God, the diarrhoea when staying in a small tent in this heat.  I am disregarding his excellent Altona suggestions.  Beer, nearly always nice but I would probably fall asleep and miss trains,  and whores are not really my thing.  I am taklng the day train, which means an ICE and then an uncrowded IC.  If the connections work.

So, we're flying to the Merka in 3 weeks. It seems no tests are needed to enter the US, and US citizens and children under 18 need no proof of vaccination. Is this correct?

  That is true, it is more common that these are being sold to Inkasso firms also called Factoring, but they often don’t have any interest in amounts under 5000 €. I cannot see why a Aktiv cant change ownership in similar manner to how you change ownership for a car or any other value-asset.

Finally got the ticket for the family, for a trip in Frankfurt. We had to buy 5, but couldn't buy in bulk. I had to do each one individually, and missed the train. Morons.

I left the chatholic Church start of June. The Employee of the office where i did this told me that, tax wise, it would have been effective from start of July. How i can check/query BZSt in order to see if they have updated my data ? I want to open a joined broker account and I need to know first if now I am not a church tax payer anymore.
