Speeding In Berlin:

Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 29 December 2005

Berlin's first ever GATSO, or staionary speeding camera came into operation TODAY for the very FIRST TIME. It'll be quite interesting to see how the initial recipiants of postal fines react? as unlike most Brits, (in my experience) Berliners/Germans know their rights (and who their Chancellor is) etc, (whoever they may be) and do not generally take things lying down, using the Courts almost as often as Gorgeous George Galloway does, (and quite right too) when faced with beurocratic bullshit², ( I do respect Germans in this way actually, as after a decision has finally been made (at whatrever level) they generally just get on with things without too much animosity or time-wasting bitterness, innit Cool


Berlin's Electricity company BEWAG ceases to exist as from tomorrow as well, after providing the City with Ström for over 120 years, and will be taken over by VATTEN a Swedish concern of all things, though not British, fortunately for us who choose to live here Big Grin

Hard Luck:

There are two riding shops very close to here (No! not brothels), and the bespoke boots (non pinstripe), which although very tasty, are horrendously expensive, though they do actually do a good line in old Barbour jackets & Whips, and I might take a peek soon to check the prices compared to the official UK ones (not for me you understand, I'm a hoody person mesen)*****



I've just sacriligiously mixed some fine Roses Lime Juice with Czech Pilsener! almost as dangerous as ordering a Scotch in a Glagwegian pub, or asking for a Murphys shandy in Dublin, t'be sure, innit ***



Though to be seriously honest, I was only joking my friend***


I didn't know that Anthony Eden was Gay?

We snuck furtively into such an hushed emporium ourselves not two moons ago. In search of something suitable for Mrs Nime for heavy double-digging. They didn't have single spade she could try! Roll Eyes

Around -17°C tonight, looks like I'm gonna have to move to get warmed up, innit.


Goodnight ****

You're totally wrong, in fact we're experiencing a heat wave John Winker


There's a rumour that Fritz is moving to the Old Punk Salmon Show for clarity?

I suspect that Fritz's Bud is the Czech version, not the yankee-doodle shite made with rice.

I could be wrong though.

Thanks for the bottoms-up Steve.
