He said it would only make sense if the person were German or living in Germany. Otherwise, the person would need to find someone in his or her country. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might add, if anyone is interested who is living in Germany or is German, I can send the proper contact details. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 May Slighly odd reasoning. But thanks for asking. The story ain t finished yet... but when it is it will make a riveting plot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 May Unbelievable. We have French neighbours. He is a sociopath, loves calling the police on his neighbours for no real reason ( eg the English guy has too many dogs. The police came and saw I had two in the office here on Crete. ) His wife finally left him and went back to France a few days before we returned to Hamburg at the end of October, taking all her possessions with her. We congratulated her when we bumped into her just before we left. " Good for you- he's a psycho. Good luck." We haven't spoken to him for about three years - though have heard his rants sometimes ( eg you must clean in front of your house immediately)...( he had deliberately swept leaves from his tree down the pathway towards us😂). We decided way back not to go into resonance with him. Just ignore him. Today, in town , we literally bumped into them into town. She speaks no English or German so I spoke to her in French. She had come back to him from France after three weeks!!! " Too expensive in France." HE speaks German and deliberately spoke in German to my partner Nicole so his wife wouldn't understand. The highlights: " my wife doesn't let me have sex with her." ( By the way, they are both in their early 70s). And: he complained the neighbour Georgina ( a late-60 Greek woman whose house is a buffer zone between the French couple and us ) had called the police on him because he had apparently deliberately destroyed her flowers outside the house in their flower pots. You couldn't make it up. NO let-us-enjoy what remains of our lives. None of us is 21. Jeez.🤭 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 5 May The 9 EUR tickets for June, July and August will be valid in the whole Germany. You can use them for local transportation in every city and in regional trains (RE and similar) but not in ICE, IC, EC. I think with RE you can go anywhere, it will take time but it is possible. I am perplexed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 May 1 hour ago, Krieg said: I think with RE you can go anywhere, it will take time but it is possible. You mean going from Munich to the beach of the Ostsee by RE, ie. changing 5 times and staying overnight somewhere, right 👻? Hey, €9 is €9. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it includes all local public transport in every city. This must be the best deal humanity created ever. Damn, maybe the Berlin hippies will move and live inside RE trains for those three months. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 May @Janx Spirit quotes Darwin in the 3G restaurant thread. Moments after reading that quote I see it again as the start of a Netflix series. (I only watched the first 5 mins as turned into dross....so no plug here!)

John, i dunno how old you are but here s some flummoxing newz for the boyz... it all seems to hot up for you men in your late 60s and early 70s... from observation and expérience that age group seems to be well randy. While they still can, maybe ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 21 May Watched a BBC documentary on ZDFinfo last night. Topic was the Spanish Flu from 1918. Bad enough,that so many suffered. It also showed how we could use the information recorded at the time to combat any similar disease / pandemic. The parallels to COVID-19 were obvious. Probably taught at virology school, but no longer common knowledge. **Just that the documentary was made in 2018**, marking the centenary of the outbreak. https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/spanische-grippe-das-geheimnis-des-killer-virus-102.html (It's in German, maybe the original is out there somewhere) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
