Funny Rsvp Cards Images

Friendly fire.

7:00 MDR Info, Monday morning Clock: One is appalled at once truly taken. Schroeder had acted in the so-called elephant round "unseemly." Germany drei radio clock in the afternoon: "Borderline" is called a comment by Chancellor behavior. Hear, hear, seems to me yet someone feels attacked. And rightly so. Just as absurd from the wrong shooter. Man you can all just call unimpressed:

rieft the chancellor you, whom you will not get rid of now!

Only I unfortunately do not.

Infantry Wants To Join Rangers

election degenerated into farce with disastrous prospects.

Scenario 1 Betting Odds: 1:1.55
Black / Yellow wins a slim majority.

That would be an undeserved Fortunately for the chaos strategist of the opposition and won the only chance for Germany. Hope is in the year 2003 by 12-Clock-mittag.de as finance minister nominated Prof. Paul Kirchhoff, who would be in connection with the FDP and Friedrich Merz, the spiritual center of a Merkel government.

Scenario 2 Betting Odds: 1:2.32
head-to-head grand coalition forces.

This is the beginning would be the end. A Chancellor Merkel is from the United Left in the government and opposition, slowly but surely slaughtered just as once the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern page. The social and economic situation in Germany worsened galloping. Emigration reached unprecedented proportions. 2007 shattered the coalition and will be replaced by a Red / Red single party.

Scenario 3 Betting Odds: 1:16.0
Red / Red / Green wins slim majority.

The farce reaches its destination. The potential of the SED's successor is selected for the left. The election putsch and the Revival of Marxism-apparatchiks Müntefering reveal their strategic calculus. If Schroeder and Fischer have word yet of any importance, they are left to the implementation of this operation Trittin and Müntefering. The consequences of this coalition of German unity shake the world: Castro, Chavez, Lula and Putin are with the EU without Britain forged an axis that Osama bin Laden in the Afghan mountains, free of loneliness. Emigration is not enough, you will need to escape normal. Where? That is the question of price.

Scenario 4 betting odds no known
Red / Green can tolerate from the SED successors.

Acting Chancellor Schroeder is initially without losing face. Then he sacrifices himself formally in the national interest, since no other but he finds a majority. Müntefering's prophecy fulfilled. Schroeder ruled with changing majorities. For the looting of the working people vote, the United Left and the VAT increase is with the Union. Further reforms sind nicht mehr nötig, weil die EU die Gelddruckmaschinen auf Hochtouren laufen lassen muss. Der Rest an Volksvermögen wird einfach bürokratisch wegrationalisiert. Das ist Schröders Traumkonstellation.

Es ist wahrlich eine Wahl ohne Wahl.

capital coalitions.

Schröder wird nicht Kanzler. Er war im Mai, getreten von Müntfering, amtsmüde.

Müntefering war es, der mit der Kapitalismus-Debatte den Wiedereinstieg in den Klassenkampf eröffnete. Die PDS frohlockte.

SPD-Abweichler wurden durch den knappen Wahltermin gezwungen, sich mit der PDS (erneut zwangs-) zu vereinen.

Die neue LINKE/SPDS erwartet laut Lafontaine a "grand coalition". What others mean, or what he means, one can see already the example of Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: RED-DARK RED-GREEN.

Müntefering is the guarantee that it is available as a Registrar. Schroeder has vowed that he not received such an alliance, and he will be retiring.

As we come full circle from the SPD on AC power Müntefering capitalism debate on Chancellor of Münte, supported by Lafontaine, Fischer, Trittin and Gysi. All proven class fighter.

forward, and do not forget ...

1099-g Illinois Address

is now all clear to me.

who have wondered, like Gerhard Schröder during the election campaign disproportionately much media attention could be here the following statement (found in antidote ):

The Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder employs a double.

The famous, infamous pseudo doctor from the Saxon madhouse Zschardrass, Dr. Bartholmy alias Gert Postel said to have undergone on the recommendation of Brazilian President Lula in Fidel Castro a facial surgery to Gerhard Schroeder on a variety of market places, trailers, and panel discussions of the public represented state television to.

Lula had with his cabinet chief Genino, a wanted terrorist by the police until the unveiling his looting of state coffers very good experience with plastic surgery done in Cuba.

background of this report is a study by Forsa, in cooperation with the Federal Press Office, which found that the campaign strategy of the SPD only a schizophrenic may be realized.
One that you have refused the trust can not be the same one who will once again begging for trust and experience objectively and subjectively as a failure. Such a thing can only make someone who has proven his qualities as a con man to the test. Forewarned - danger averted. It took only a brief glance in the squad files to identify the appropriate actors. As a partner of Pfeiffer has already Postel als Roloff in der Barschel-Affäre als effektiver Parteigänger erwiesen.

Ob sich hinter der Maske von Schröder tatsächlich Gert Postel verbirgt, ist naturgemäß nicht überprüfbar.

Hintergedanke dieser Lösung ist nicht die Angst der Kanzlerberater, dass Gerhard Schröder es nicht schaffen könnte, einen Schizo zu mimen. Es geht um das genaue Gegenteil, denn für jeden klinischen Gutachter ist klar, dass dieses Krankheitsbild nicht gespielt ist, sondern einen ernsthaft gestörten Menschen offenbart. Normalerweise ist solch eine Störung nur unter den Bedingungen einer geschlossenen Anstalt therapierbar.

Um die durch solche Gutachten drohende richterliche Feststellung the incapacity to defend, it appeared the players necessary to produce a proof that Gerhard Schroeder Gerhard Schroeder is not.

Wax Strips For Male Pubic Hair

News from www.12-clock-mittag.de

Now it is on the table.
The CDU shall adopt an election manifesto without heart and mind.

had never design a candidate for chancellor, more freedom and power, an honest election and motivating program. Courage and ideas instead of money are required, intelligent solutions, the order of the day. What we served Mrs Merkel? A strategically and tactically wrong disastrous patchwork of old Article No concept, no approach is visible, of necessity, would be turning. The party goes without a compelling reason in a hopeless Defensive position.

makes this point of view of Schroeder's move pötzlich lot of sense. On the one hand, the CDU wants to finally do what Schroeder wanted to do always, for example, abolish the promotion of home ownership. On the other hand, it also wants to do what he did not want, namely to increase VAT, Per additional tax and lower the top tax rate. This, combined with the blowing rate of Lafontainschen Socialist Unity Party of Germany guaranteed a new rule under the tighter regulations Schröder's a totally uninhibited gang of robbers. How will Ms Merkel actually unmasked and disarmed such survive if the President Schroeder zum Nachsitzen zwingen sollte? Wenn er sein Amt und die Verfassung ernst nimmt, was er wohl tut, kann er eigentlich gar nicht anders.

Merkels Absicht, mit der Mehrwertsteuer die Lohnnebenkosten (Reduzierung der Arbeitslosenversicherung um 2%) zu senken ist so fadenscheinig, dass man nur erschrecken kann, denn die Erhöhung der Mehrwertsteuer verteuert am Ende die Arbeit wieder um die gleiche Summe. Natürlich gibt es einen Hauch von Entlastung im Export, aber im Bereich des Binnnenhandels und des Imports tritt das genaue Gegenteil ein. Der Sinn der Absenkung von Lohnnebenkosten liegt ja nicht in der Umbuchung, sondern in der Verbilligung der Arbeit für mehr Nachfrage nach bezahlbarer Arbeit. Auf der Strecke bleiben die unteren Lohngruppen and the unemployed. Who does not want to sink into poverty in the charity bureaucracy, can escape only in the export of its labor force: Germany becomes a country of emigration. The senile Germany's last potential markets. It's now been, and will not cover such Programmgeschnipsel can change.

This program is not a priority sign of Labour but a dead end. Not because anything is wrong, but because nothing is really right. Germany takes but a turning to get on the right track. Merkel is acting like a frustrated accountant. Petty and without inspiration, without charm and full of arrogance. Such things can not choose one, let alone support. An embarrassment in passing: The CDU plagiarized a poster of the SPD from 2003 to illustrate this inadequacy. I just heard the chancellor saying sarcastically: "Under Merkel, nothing is better but everything is more expensive." Something called a classic one-two. Merkel and Schroeder are the template to score the goal. Somehow this reminds me of the tragic role of Ibrahim Böhme.

Germany needs much, much more hope than the pollsters can FDP us. Are we doing something for it. We have no other choice.

Geographical Location Of Pink Eye

A coup is not enough.

prefer to do after the announcement of the SPD parliamentary election is in the assembled Journaille and some of their most loyal followers already Chancellor Angela Merkel proclaimed. Some bloggers think the red-green government had voted for.

seems to me that someone has made in the ranks of the CDU is presented seriously, as Mrs Merkel would look like in an election campaign. Frankly, I can not blame them too!

One can assume that the step of the SPD was not unprepared. Already, the Chancellor is already allotted for this from all sides, artist quality. The lies and smear campaigns are already waiting as you could just see already at "Sabine Christiansen". The coffers are filled anyway never mind. This government is so brutal and shameless fight for their power, as post-war Germany wohl noch nicht erlebt hat. Und die öffentlich-rechtlichen Massenmedien werden sie dabei wie gewöhnlich nicht im Stich lassen. Münteferings Insekten-Märchen waren, im Vergleich zu dem was kommt, wohl noch harmlos. Man sollte nicht so naiv sein zu glauben, daß Müntefering, Schröder und Fischer diesen Weg eingeschlagen hätten, ohne sich davon Erfolg zu versprechen.

Eine Angela Merkel hingegen wird bereits beim ersten Schritt Probleme bekommen: Bei der Mobilisierung und Überzeugung "ihres eigenen" Lagers. Es mangelt ihr an Überzeugungskraft, Glaubwürdigkeit, Rhetorik, Ausstrahlung. Das hatte man bis jetzt alles übersehen können oder einfach nicht sehen wollen. Man wähnte sich ja auch for 16 months before the election. Just as the citizens surveyed in the Sunday issues. And now it stands at the door and suddenly it becomes serious. The Union is truly surprised.

yourself in the exuberance of victory in North Rhine-Westphalia now to agree on Merkel is extremely risky. The closer to the Wahltermmin now, more and more citizens are concerned with the issue that the SPD them - quite rightly - is set: We or they? Schroeder or Merkel? And now in this concrete, real question, I can not imagine that the projection of the CDU Angela Merkel can save through an election campaign, as he now suggests. Apparently, it looks like the people. In a flash poll von Infratest-Dimap war sowohl bei den CDU-Anhängern wie auch bei allen anderen Befragten der klare Favorit nicht Merkel sondern der niedersächsische Ministerpräsident Christian Wulff.

Die CDU sollte auf Schröder's Coup nun mit einem eigenen antworten.

Length And Breadth Of Guitar

Liberal confusion

Die Wahl des ersten deutschen Papstes seit nun fast 500 Jahren geht auch an deutschen liberal/libertären Blogs nicht spurlos vorüber (siehe Statler und Waldorf ). Schon melden sich die ersten Stimmen, die die katholische Kirche, ihren Papst und dessen Überzeugungen als mit dem Liberalismus unvereinbar betrachten und "verteufeln". Nun mag der eine oder andere ja durchaus seine Probleme mit der Kirche haben, das ist verständlich. Only one should distinguish between institution and message.

generate excitement but in all seriousness, the new pope's statements, in which he a "radical individualism" as a "dictatorship of relativism that recognizes nothing as definitive and as the ultimate measure of all things only the self and its desires understands" criticized .

Funny, I had personally "liberalism" never "relativism" confused. But it seems that many "liberals" are made to feel. And a "radical individualism" sounds to my ears not just promising. Freedom is conceivable without no responsibility. Responsibility for themselves and to take other ist für eine freie Gesellschaft fundamental. Alles andere führt zu Barbarei. Und liefern nicht die - endgültigen - Zehn Gebote die besten Regeln für das Miteinander?

Des einen Freiheit endet dort, wo die des anderen anfängt. Eigentlich alles nichts neues für einen Liberalen.

Was man persönlich von der katholischen Kircheund ihren Päpsten auch immer halten mag. Sie ist nicht zu ersetzen. Sie verteidigt und verbreitet christliche Überzeugungen (lese auch: endgültige Wahrheiten), die für den Liberalismus überlebenswichtig sind. Werden diese vergessen, ist es für Politiker kein Problem mehr den Menschen das "Paradies auf Erden" zu versprechen*. Wie das dann aussieht wissen wir already.


* What they do, of uninterrupted by day to day is adopt new laws and regulations, and pretend the people thus "perfect" world is possible and the person would have an influence on everything (just think the "Almighty "Kyoto Protocol). And so finally legitimize their own positions and sinecures.

this topic I recommend another article by Roland Baader "peculiarly free" with the title "Christians and liberals."

Ouch Joschka. That hurts. And not sorry.
Not only that the halo of our top officials now seem Visa vollkommen zu schwinden droht, wenn man sich die Ergebnisse des ZDF-Politbarometers so betrachtet, nein, viel interessanter ist beinahe, wer sich da still und heimlich zu Deutschlands beliebtestem Politiker gemausert hat. Ich sage nur soviel: Ich hätte mittlerweile nichts mehr gegen einen Kanzler aus Niedersachsen einzuwenden.

Highest Cranking Battery

from sun and earth.


kyotoklein , originally uploaded by Oskar Strauss .

Die neue Bibel unserer schönen neuen "Zivilgesellschaft", das sogenannte Kyoto-Protokoll, auf dessen Grundlage schon bald weite Teile europäischer Kulturlandschaft verspargelt werden dürften, ist heute mit großer Inszenierung inkraftgetreten. Nun glaubt die deutsche Öffentlichkeit, nicht nur dank ARD und ZDF, daß die "wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse", auf die sich das Protokoll stützt, in Kreisen sogenannter Climate scientists were undisputed.

They are not.

And as if the consequences of the Protocol can not already scary enough, a politically-motivated media in the repression of dissidents certainly run a shiver down the spine. This is reminiscent of but more often oh-so distant, bleak times. Therefore, I would like at least attention to research results, which in the German media is usually no attention. For example, the link it establishes between the solar activity on the one hand and temperature fluctuations we are unquestionably on the earth.

this and much more can be found in the book "Air Facts" herausgegeben von Dr. Ulrich Berner seines Zeichens Forscher bei der Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe in Hannover . Andere interessante Informationen findet man hier und hier , so zum Beispiel diese Schlussfolgerungen von Wissenschaftlern der ETH Zürich :

"Bis jetzt ist es so, dass eine strenge statistische Überprüfung der Daten keinen signifikanten Zusammenhang liefert zwischen den vom Menschen emittierten CO2-Mengen und den ermittelten Klimawerten. (...) Die Frage, ob man jetzt schon die vom Menschen verursachte Klimaänderung wissenschaftlich nachweisen kann, muß ehrlicherweise noch offen bleiben."

Aha.

Black Specs In Cheetos

country in the sham debate.

Laut Welt hat sich nun auch noch Herr Zimmermann, seines Zeichens Chef des gewerkschftsnahen DIW, zu Herrn Stoiber geäußert und bezichtigt ihn eine „gefährliche Scheindebatte“ zu führen.



Falsch.



Much more correct is that in recent weeks and months - has set off a debate NPD bill - just in time before an important state election. So totally distracted by the miserable economic situation. Mr Stoiber has been merely a truism on its own and this is the core of the problem even come very close. Much more is on NPD to say really.

I consider myself straight up in England, and am amazed at what kind of debates can be conducted here, dealing with existential issues that have been banned in Germany have long been out of the politically correct discourse.

Elizabeth Mendez Breast Size

you wear Brioni takes responsibility.

The medial Guillotine die gerade auf den CSU-Vorsitzenden Stoiber heruntersaust ist in ihrer Feigheit nicht zu überbieten. Was hatte Stoiber denn gesagt? Folgendes:



„Das ökonomische Versagen der Regierung Schröder, dieses Ausmaß an Arbeitslosigkeit, bildet den Nährboden für Extremisten, die letztlich die Perspektivlosigkeit der Menschen ausnutzen und damit die Demokratie in unserem Land gefährden”



Dies ist so ziemlich die älteste Lehre die man aus der Geschichte ziehen kann. Wer dieses bestreitet verabschiedet sich aus dem Kreis ernstzunehmender Diskutanten. Natürlich sind die Ergebnisse der NPD und der PDS indirekte Folge der Politik auch und vor allem dieser Bundesregierung.

But what makes the German press? What Leave is taz and FR no interest, because predictable. More than disappointing is the reaction of the FAZ. Rather than deal with those responsible for 6.5 million unemployed, she chooses the path of least resistance. And that by participating in our manner of beatific Bundestag President Stoiber einschießt and requesting to be but rather with the federal government to sit at a table rather than criticizing them. Of course, comparisons of historical nature are completely out of place.

Certainly these are often on shaky foundations. Ultimately you have to drag them, however, will be selected from the history gelernte auch in realer Politik anwenden.



Das Schlimmste aber folgt jetzt: In ihrem Leitkommentar bestreitet die FAZ weiter, daß man für die Konsequenzen, die diese Politik zeichnet, dieselbige verantwortlich machen dürfte:



"Doch der CSU-Vorsitzende Stoiber treibt ein gefährliches Spiel, wenn er einer irrationalen Wahlentscheidung nachträglich Rationalität verleiht, indem er sie als natürliche Folge der Regierungspolitik hinstellt."



Der Autor schließt sich hiermit aber erstaunlich geschmeidig der Meinung des SPD-Vorsitzenden Müntefering an, der sich folgendermaßen geäußert hatte: "Für die neue Stärke der Rechten sind weder Union noch SPD verantwortlich. Daran sind einzig und allein die Wähler schuld“



Den Artikel der FAZ finden Sie hier .

Ich bin auf www.klassewerbung.de auf einen kleinen Werbspot für VW aufmerksam gemacht worden. Naja, für VW vielleicht aber definitiv nicht von VW. Sollte wohl angeblich nur ein Spot für ein Showreel eines Kreativen sein, mit dem er sich bewerben wollte. Dafür sieht das dann aber schon ziemlich professionell aus.

When Chevy Tahoe Body Change

Hull, 09.01.2005


DSC04368.JPG, originally uploaded by Oscar Strauss .

I have all slept well. Even better is to be awakened by the British radio. After freshening up in the room's wet area, in the city. As I step out of the room and go down the hall, I notice roommate in the kitchen (the one from the outside by a großes Fenster hineinblicken kann). Also gehe ich rein und stelle mich vor. Tracy, Paul, Andrew, Chaz und Clare erwidern. Ich frage die Runde nach Supermarkt und ähnlichen Dingen. Da drei von ihnen anscheinend sowieso gerade einkaufen wollen, schließe ich mich, ganz ungewohnt dreist, einfach an. Andrew, Chaz, Clare und ich marschieren also los. Zum Einkaufen. Am Sonntag. Jaja.

Bei »Woolworth« trennen wir uns. Chaz und Clare gehen weiter zu »Kwiksave«, Andrew will mir bei der Auswahl von Töpfen und Pfannen helfen. Also erst mal die Grundaustattung: Löffel, Gabel, Messer, Teelöffel, Glühbirne, Suppenteller, Frühstücksteller, Teller, Topf, Pfanne, Tasse. Macht schon mal £ 22,- . Andrew steht mit Rat und Tat beiseite, wann immer ich ihn brauche. Das hier hab ich aber gerade noch alleine geschafft. Dafür übernimmt er jetzt die Rolle meines Trägers. Andrew hat übrigens lange Haare, ist ca. 165 cm groß und einen Bart hat er auch. Manchmal trägt er auch eine Brille. Ich glaube er ist der verkappte Hippie hier im Heim. (Aber vielleicht auch nur »Herr der Ringe«-Fan: Das gehört hier nicht hin, wenn man es streng chronologisch sieht, aber gestern (14.01.) hat Andrew blitzartig die Küche verlassen, als Paul sein Mißfallen über »Lord of the rings« äußerte).

Dann weiter zu »Farmfoods«: Baked Beans, Softdrink, Brot, Bacon, Eier. Andrew really does not mind wearing. Only after "over to" Kwiksave, because: "At Farm Foods," there are the bags for free, you can use at Kwiksave still cost extra, but there would, as Andrew explained to me urgently. I am beginning to understand how the English can survive in this expensive country: they have developed their small strategies of everyday life. In Kwiksave (which is actually written by the way, why I do not know, because after all, the word "quick" but from here, right?) Then brought butter and milk. Andrew is a little embarrassed, because we have found out that baked beans are cheaper but at Kwiksave and not of Farm Foods, he said. I forgive him but generous, after all, he wears a lot of my purchases, and gave me the bargain yet revealed the "Farm Foods bag trick."

Then we do four of us (Clare and Chaz also were at Kwiksave) back to back. But wait! Stop! Before my stay would have been in "friendly Hull" but found almost a sudden end: Chaz, Andrew and I were sitting peacefully on a wall, on Clare waiting, when suddenly a pigeon in a crash, like Hitchcock, is only about Chaz's head and then narrowly missed the mean. I was shocked. Chaz and Andrew did not. Andrew said: "Suicide ! Pigeon "As if this is the normal behavior of a pigeon would be here (which would not speak just for Hull, even if comes a dumb deaf to such thoughts).

Then home. After unpacking the shopping and a can of baked beans, I make myself a little walk. Towards the water. I know not yet where is it, then find direct a promenade on the River Humber, Hull is certainly here in the broad already at the 2 km. Over there lies Grimsby. I recognize the downstream port with its factories, smokestacks and ships. The P & O ferry to Rotterdam I can see. Somehow comforting to be in a city from which you at any time by ship can escape. Sea. All cities should be on the coast. Basta!

I light a cigarette and go out on a wooden jetty. I'm here all alone. It is windy but not raining. I smoke here necessarily much more conscious and it's sometimes even fun to delay the next cigarette ever (I know you can gloss over everything). This is now but such a time when you can smoke without feeling guilty, smoking must. On quasi-Sea. Then I move on towards the city center and get past the Marina, the marina, where small boats bob up and sailing ships.

On the way back again on "Oberon" by a pub that looks quite nice from assu. Let's see when I visit the. In the evening with Freya and family on the phone - from the booth. Then on to the dormitory.

It's a beautiful balmy evening. Quietly shines the splendor of Victorian architecture in the city lights.
Good night.

Will Hair Dye Remover Damage My Hair?

Hull, 01/08/2005

So, after 24 hours of Hull: time for a first intermediate state: The journey was a hurricane over the North Sea a bit chaotic. Next 2 hours waiting at the airport Schoenefeld, is prohibited on smoking by the way - unless one checks out for each cigarette and on.

The flight itself was okay. Self the small Eastern European child next to me was up to the start nice and quiet. After several amateurish attempts to find sleep, we landed at Newcastle International already. From there take the metro to the station. Fortunately, the train had also delayed and I was able to enter towards York. Even in England, the smoking cars are way at the very end. That is on one side somehow humiliating, on the other hand are then less people the way there, that you get a place without problems.

The cleanliness in Metro, as well as train but can be desired. The delay in my schedule was so delayed that I not as intended in the light could travel through England. So half an hour had seen nothing more to Newcastle. It followed repeated attempts to find sleep, and: There's one for even in York. Actually, I thought to myself now have the next train through ask for Hull, but when I get out I see it in the corner of my eye on the adjacent track a small train - are so small, in England there trains that consist just of two cars - at the still less easy Hull claimed. Perfect. Sorry, no smokers. However, since these are twice as dirty as the average Non smoking compartments, this bothers me at the sight of rows of seats in the slightest.

rise by a further hour trip I made in Hull und mache mich auf den Weg zu den Taxis. Der Fahrer versteht wo ich hin will und wir fahren los. Die Bahnhofsgegend versprüht den Charme der 70er bloß nicht mehr so bunt und belebt wie damals. Besser gesagt: Ich hab dort keine Menschen gesehen. Je näher wir aber ans Wohnheim kommen, desto netter wird die Gegend. Hübsche Kontore und Lagerhäuser aus rotem Backstein mit weißen Fenstern, Simsen und Laibungen.

Der Fahrer setzt mich vor dem »Pacific Court« ab und ich suche vergeblich nach der Klingel. Deshalb rufe ich John (sozusagen der »Ausländerbeauftragte« des Wohnheims) an und bin erleichtert, daß es klappt. Nach zwei Minuten steht er auch schon vor mir: Zwei Meter groß, lange schwarze Haare, Beard, long black coat and glasses. He brings me to my room that I just like the flat striking reminder of our hotel in New York (ie, dirty & small). Only the outlook is not so exciting. The room has a small window overlooking rooftops and backyard. In the room are then still: a sink with vanity cabinet, a wardrobe, a writing and drawing table, a lamp without a bulb, a small table, bedside table and bed. For now, lend me John blanket, pillows, tea, sugar, coffee, milk, toilet paper, and the cable for the Internet. Nice guy. Then he shows me the next Take Away and one or two pubs. made

on my own I wanted to once a beautiful Serving fish and chips geniessen.Dummerweise I have a shop but just not displayed. After an hour of searching and a phone conversation with his brother Julius, had to determine where we, that I was here in England should get but can not if my card is empty, so I turned the final but in the take-away, the John showed me had. A "Quarter Pounder and Garlic Mushrooms later," I decided to adopt the evening with a Guinness. Kindly, found in the vicinity of the home an Irish pub. When I arrived it was still quite empty. So no problem getting through to the bar. The first Guinness and to a cigarette. Finally relax again.

filled with time, the store. Fortunately, but not with the somewhat discouraging figures I had seen in my search in the city: young boys and filthy fat girl with far too narrow and short dresses. I notice a poster and read by a singing duo that calls itself "Celtic Cross" and today still is to occur tonight. And indeed, after ten minutes, they take their instruments and get started. Funny to look at they are. Both so the 38 or 40th The one about 2 feet tall, thin, little black hair that stands vertically in a 80's mullet hairdo on end. And such a huge tooth gap, where the cutting teeth must once have been. The other slightly smaller, with blond Hair, in a turquoise Hawaiian shirt. Looks kinda like a stoned Beachboy. They make the two mood, and "Dirty old town" or "Whiskey in the Jar," feels like something alien. Unfortunately, the two will not announce their political message and call to sign on to a petition against Tony Blair. Well, to each his own.

am After the second Guinness I will be so exhausted that I'm on the way to bed. 0:00 Against Clock then I slumber in a deep sleep. I must admit that I seemed to me the first night alone, here in Hull lost something.

But it's also just the beginning.

Vi Siete Mai Fatte Sborrare?

My first blog.

After the first days in Hull now my first steps to follow in the great world of blogging (which is written like this?). Therefore I urge you, as some leniency with regard to structure, design, logic, etc. in this blog here. As for the logic: So today is actually the third February. Since I got reingestellt content of 8 / 9 January date, I'm so cheated a little. The idea has brought me to Mark (not related to the cheating, but with the blog in itself), of course, technically much more professional rangeht to the cause ( www.markuslerner.com ). To come back to the design. So I'm using a template - which for me as a graphic designer, of course, somehow is humiliating - and I have not even figured out how I insert a link bar. I also not so sure what will become of this blog. A mere documentation of the Erasmus semester? A political blog? The latter might scare some of my dearest friends perhaps. A blog of the design makes it the subject? Or football? Maybe all in one? Well, I do not know yet. Let's wait.
