    Airline Compo

    Back in October Mrs Ted and I went to Dusseldorf to sample some Altbier and to attend a Borussia Monchengladbach game. Our flight out with Eurowings was cancelled with less than 12 hours notice because their cabin crew were on strike. Eurowings left us in the lurch with no way of rebooking our...

    Bruggen

    In October I'm going to Mochengladbach to watch a Bundesliga game at Borussia Park (which is not far from Rheindahlen). The last time I watched Die Fohlen would have been in 1979/80 when they played at the Bokelberg so I'm looking forward to it. Anyhow, while we were in the region I was thinking...

    Fill my cavity

    On Friday evening two teenagers called at Ted Towers to tell me that they represented a company called Markgroup and that I could have cavity wall insulation entirely for free. I informed them that I wasn't on benefits but, to my surprise, they said it didn't matter. They said the goverment had...

    Rejecting a car

    Has anyone out there ever bought a second hand car then taken it back to the dealer to reject it? Mrs Ted bought one of those tiny Toyota IQs and had problems with the engine cutting out from the day after she bought it. Two days later I took it back to the dealer and told him I was rejecting it...

    UN medals

    There’s been a bit of talk about medals on the goat recently and I’m a bit curious about the foreign medals that have been awarded by various organisations over the years. Is it permissible to wear all UN, NATO and EU medals awarded along with your UK ones? If not, which ones are allowed? There...

    Children

    Why oh why do people insist on taking their children on aircraft? I fly about every 6 weeks or so to various locations and invariably I have some misbehaving, whingeing and/or kicking the back of my seat brat sat behind me. Personally I think that all children under the age of 10 should go in...

    Russian Visa

    Me and Mrs Ted were thinking of going to St Petersburg for a bit of a city break. Anyway, I've just taken a look at the visa application form and it asks about military service, which branch of the armed services, dates, rank and if you have been involved in any conflicts. I just wondered if...

    German cars

    Why is it that drivers of German cars are such knobs these days? It used to be Volvo drivers in the old days but now just about every instance of idiotic/dangerous driving I see is committed by someone driving a German car. Audi drivers are worst closely followed by BMW. I just wondered what's...
