Congrats, Jorge!

Yeah, that's a big responsibility. And it means using your skills, using what you've learnt, for the benefit of others as well as of yourself. This is what a job should be for.

Was that your first job? Did you start a war accidentally by mistranslating something? Did you start purposefully by mistranslating something? World domination is easier to gain if the world is busy fighting itself.

How did you get you get this job? Are you going to do that again?

Cheers!

Markus

I got my laptop back from the repair center and it got f

ed up on the following day (which appeared to be a Friday, after closing time). It's really getting seriously annoying, this goddamn machine spent 3 months there already in the past two years. I'll print some of my rights as a customer for them basterds.

I want my money back.

Aw Lasse, that's terrible. Maybe the laptop feels hurt by your Loyal name?

Persephone · « **Reply #244 on:** January 17, 2011, 11:34:37 am »

You should get a new one... we have a law here that if it's repaired 3 times - You have to get a completely new one or back all Your money.

Lasse · « **Reply #245 on:** February 17, 2011, 01:48:34 am »

I'm back!

Sorry for disappearing, but the past ~~weeks~~ months have been quite hysterical... But it seems I'm back on the track again.

My compy is fine (

), I sent many applications to universities (to study English) and also going to take an advanced exam on history later in the spring/summer to get into a state financed course.

Welcome back, Lasse!

Well, you've got a lot of things done - no wonder that you were super busy. I'm glad to hear that things are running well for you now. I hope you'll get the results and answers you want!

Cheers!

Markus

Now just how cool is that? Especially recommended for Kris.

And I thought it's just a rumour!

Markus · « **Reply #249 on:** March 23, 2011, 04:17:49 pm »

not a rumour - I've just read the same in the paper.

Oh my.... this was really a fucking stupid hell of a week.

So we made a little trip today with my bf

All pics taken in Prague:

Celtic menhir in small Prague village "Dolní Chabry". It's being called "Stone servant". Behind the fence You can see other one - it's supposed to be a "brother" of Stone servant... It was stolen (few centuries back I think) but few years ago it was found and placed there - in 2006.

The tests showed that the stone absolutely sure cannot be from anywhere around the area so it was taken far from and brought to this place... As usual with Celts, we do not know why

The stone is silicit and this pic is from 1914

Compare!

Just some bush near house blossoming nicely

The narrowest street in Prague! It is about 50 cm wide only and You have to use traffic ligths for passing thru

Luth · « **Reply #252 on:** April 07, 2011, 07:17:17 pm »

I MUST walk trhough this street!!!! I think all NTSMSers must do... at the same time!

Markus · « **Reply #253 on:** April 08, 2011, 11:23:39 am »

Very nice pictures, Kris!

The menhirs are fascinating, of course, and the blossoms are beautiful. Yeah, spring is bursting forth with might now! and about the street, oh my... That'll be a bit of a challenge.

BTW, I went to donate blood on Wednesday again, so now they have three liters from me.

Cheers!

Markus

Congratulations Markus

Can You do also autotransfusion in Deutschland? Here we can "make one or few packages" of our own blood to be stored in case we need it (car accident etc) - of course - because we are sure it will be "on stock"

and also Your own blood fits You best

If You can, I recommend You to do so.

Markus · « **Reply #255 on:** April 09, 2011, 10:05:48 am »

Thank you for the hint, Kris!

I think they offer these auto-transfusions here for pending surgery but not for accidents. Should I ever need blood then I won't be worried, anyway, because the blood conserves are checked very thoroughly for infections, so the risk to catch anything nasty is very low. And luckily there are still enough donors so that they always have a few drops in stock - even though it's a close shave sometimes.

Cheers!

Uoá!

Thanks, Kris! The menhir looks really funny with that fence.

:shares some fresh home-made strawberry jam with dark bread:

I can't donate blood because of some stupid law discriminating a certain minority. Not that they didn't check the blood for diseases and stuff, but that law still exists, and I've decided I won't try again until I have to lie.

Markus · « **Reply #258 on:** April 11, 2011, 11:31:16 am »

I see what you mean, Lasse. Yeah, there are some questions I find just plain stupid.

Anyway, after a long weekend I'll soon be off for a new work-week.

Cheers!

Markus

Persephone · « **Reply #259 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:40:47 pm »

Had the same problem, Lasse

Now I cannot donate cause of pills - back then I could not donate cause of discrimination... It's non-sense now - when they have to check the blood. I don't really know why does it still exist.
