Possible... yet none of the people or beings I saw had difficulties with the daylight, nor did anybody look especially greedy.

I'm sick

VladH · « **Reply #343 on:** October 17, 2011, 02:42:14 pm »

Strained muscles, strained ligaments... in pain but happy

Hey folks,

I hope you're better in the meantime? Agnes, what did you have? Is it over or still troubling you?

Vlad, I suppose that was due to sports? Probably you have regenerated well in the past few days and are capable of the next achievements now.

Cheers!

Markus

Hey folks,

as I hinted in the shoutbox they found a bomb from WWII here last week. That was quite a big deal... it was found during construction works right in front of a hospital, near the city center. First thing I noticed was that the tram had to go a wide way around the center, just when I was trying to get to the main station in order to go to work.

Later on they had to evacuate not only the hospital and a kindergarten right next to the bomb but a range of 800 meters! 20.000 people had to get away...

Luckily the experts managed to defuse the bomb, easily as they told the newspaper. Still it was a big deal.

Cheers!

Wow, so did some crazynuts set it up or it was hidden there all time long?

Well, important is that the explosives were disarmed with no problem!

Markus · « **Reply #347 on:** November 02, 2011, 03:15:17 pm »

Hey there,

it was really a remnant from the war bombings. A bomb that didn't explode when it crashed into the ground, got buried back then and reappeared when a hole was dug for some construction works. That kind of things happen quite frequently, even now after 66 years.

Cheers, anyway!

Packs his warmest clothes and travels to the Northwest

Hey folks,

when I was getting out of the tram today, someone was literally dragging a blind woman towards the door - before anybody could get out.

Well, he was eager to help - until the woman shouted: "But that's not where I want to go!"

Cheers!

It reminds me of another anecdote from a friend of mine. She was in the metro, and ready to arrive to the station. An old woman wanted to leave too, and she kindly pushed to button to open the door, but it didn't. She pushed and pushed, eager to help the old woman to leave... until she realized (or somebody told her, I don't remember what she explained) that she was pushing the wrong the button: it was the "force the door closing" one!

Finally I've found a good, warm and relatively cheap winter jacket. I'm prepared for a snow now

That's cool, Agnes! I'm looking for a winter leather coat still. One guy I know has promised me one.

Where's Loke? He hasn't been here for a long time.

Agnes · « **Reply #354 on:** November 12, 2011, 12:14:41 pm »

indeed... Loke, where are you??

Markus · « **Reply #355 on:** November 16, 2011, 08:17:40 pm »

Hey folks,

I donated some more blood today. Got some sweets, a certificate and the golden badge of honour because it was my tenth donation.

Well, it was the ninth successful one, so we're at 4,5 liters now.

Funny thing: The badge is literally called "Ehrennadel", i.e. "needle of honour".

Cheers!

Markus

Luth · « **Reply #356 on:** November 16, 2011, 09:07:11 pm »

Congrats, oh Great Donor Priest!

Will you wear the badge next meeting?

Persephone · « **Reply #357 on:** November 17, 2011, 10:46:36 am »

Oh god. "Needle of honour" - Give me creeps

Persephone · « **Reply #358 on:** November 19, 2011, 01:28:30 am »

About 1,5 hour ago my notebook was "attacked" by Window f*cking Genuine Advantage. And guess what! Suddenly my browsers does not work and such. I really wonder how it got in there cause it must have happend today... But I wasn't downloading any programmes or such.

Markus · « **Reply #359 on:** November 19, 2011, 09:04:39 am »

Ouch, Kris, that really sucks. Hope you're getting your system clean and working again!

I'm enjoying two days off.

Not that I'd be lazy, I'm ultra-busy preparing stuff for my dad's birthday, tidying up my flat, making the first Christmas-cookies... yesterday I also took a looong walk with Maggie and then did some shopping where I bought some new energy-saving lamps for my apartment (even trying LED light

) and where I finally got a ticket for the second Ring-opera. How strange - a couple of weeks ago they sold me tickets for "Siegfried", which is played in April as the third opera from the Ring while they couldn't give me a ticket for "Die Walküre", which is number 2 and performed in March.

Anyway, I got a lot of things done and I'll be a busy bee today as well.

Cheers!

Markus
