007

Well, have you seen it yet? You know what I mean – Skyfall – the latest Bond movie.

Great movie – lots of action, good story line, great locations, humour – and, and, and.

Some questions for you:

1. Where was Bond injured?

2. Where did he leave his gun?

If you haven’t seen it yet – GO!!!!!!

 

Frankfurt taxi drivers

Do these people actually have driver’s licences?

Do they EVER follow the laws of driving?

O.K. Before I go on I want to tip my hat to the few drivers who are gentlemen of the road – I have met a few – although I think they are a dying breed.

On Friday I was driving down the A5 toward the Frnakfurter Kreutz junction. I am on cruise and it is set to 99 KMPH – in a 100 KMPH zone.

Cars are merging in from the right from the A638 junction – so I indicate and move into the middle lane to allow them to join freely.

One taxi however is not content to just joint the inside lane – he keeps moving out, without indicating, into my path forcing me to swerve into the outside lane – where a taxi that was follwing him to join the A5 – has swept behind me and was then overtaking (of course taxis are not restricted to 100 kmph and with big powerful Mercedes can accelerate at full power) . So he got upset that I was forced into his path.

Both of them then proceeded to box me in and break sharply in front of me – not once – but three times. I guess they wanted to teach me that whenever I saw a taxi I should run for cover and realise that they OWN the road.

I was forced to pull in behind an articulated truck for protection.

Taxi drivers – go to hell!!!!

Chicken eaters of the world!!!!!

I post this story after a student was asked to write a story from a picture of a man holding a chicklet in his hands:-

The picture shows a draft for the new Fine Knoxville Chicken (FKC)  advertisement campaign. The Tennessee based franchising company wants to emphasize on what it is doing right concerning the two main subjects customers associate with the company: It’s dedication in the field of ethical treatment of animals and It’s firm believe, that only the freshest of meat can be the basis for the smooth taste of the fine products it offers.

 

FKC was often criticized in the past for using industrial meat which was produced using cruel and unethical methods. The man depicted shows a protective gesture when holding the chick in his hands, which will imprint the companies caring attitude towards the treatment of animals on the average customers memory. The big smile underlines even more that FKC is happy only when their main ingredients is handled in an ethical an fair way, and so the customers can be happy when dining at a KFC restaurant.

 

The second important message FKC wants the customers to remember is the fact, that the company has high standards when the quality of the raw material it uses in its products is concerned. To differentiate itself from its competitors, the picture suggests, that old and chewy meat will never be used in the production of KFC classics like the Old-fashioned Chick Sticks or the Zumba Burger, only chick filets, hand selected by the CEO himself will make it in there. Again, the big smile shows how glad the customers should be when they learn about this.

 

 

Well done Carsten!!!!

Chestnuts

All you guys and girls get out there in the woods nad collect Chestnuts!!
Don’t forget to prick them with a fork before you roast them – they make a mess when they explode :-(.
If you don’t have an open fire – I cook them on a hot plate – works fine about level 2 for 5 mins each side.
Enjoy

Clevertronic.de – clever money grabbers

Watch out for this company. Their prices are good – their delivery is fine – the goods are as desc ribed. But try to send something back within the allowed time frame and you are stumped.
They refused to accept the return of a smartphone I bought from them – claiming the gods were damaged – and after I gave up trying to get my money (yes I am a weakling and don’t have the time or energy to pursue things through the courts) – they charged me 6.90 euros to get the phone back.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Number Plates Rip Off

Bad Homburg Zulassungstelle must have an arrangement with the people who make number plates.
I was told to get my new plates made across the road and then come back to have the stickers put on them.
So I went in and asked them to make them ———–it took 3 minutes —— 38 Euros.
Unbelieveable.
Online you can get them made, including postage – for €17.99 – and that by a TÜV approved site.
Rip off .

Why didn’t they recommend the INternet as an alternative?

A5 3D Radar traps???? (Blitzer)

The bastards – now they can measure your speed, the distance from the car in front and no doubt how many buttons on your flies are open!!!
I SAY – STOP IT!!! No distance fines/prosecutions until they insist that cars are fitted with automatic distance readouts!!!!!! How the F**K am I supposed to calculate acording to my speed how far behind the car in front I am? And when they cut in front of me??? No chance.
