When we get a cold caller trying to sell stuff my normal reply is, do you want to buy wardrobe. They hardly ever phone twice.

Just seen on the news that someone's been throwing eggs at the King & Queen.
Whoever it was, they must be minted. Eggs are expensive these days.

Thankfully that's illegal here, not only legally but I think constitutionally, as it's a violation of privacy.
Oddly when it happens it's often an English speaker so I ask them if they're aware that they are calling a German number. They generally say yes and then I ask why they are speaking English, and if they realise that what they are doing is illegal under the German Strassenverkehrsordnung und Treppenkehrwochengesetz Paragraph 17.
This actually translates as the "German Highway Code and Weekly Stairs Sweeping Law" but it generally works.

Tons of beans don't take that long to cook. As for toast, well that's down to the toaster.
Would you be surprised if I said "No".

He actually owned the garage business next door and wanted to extend his property as he was short of storage space for spares such as tyres, batteries and other bulky bits.
Lawyers have you by the short and curlies as they tend to stick together and refuse to do business unless on their terms.
I discovered recently that tho’ my late wife had a perfectly valid will leaving everything to me that I did not actually own the house as half of it was still her property even when she has been dead for 7 years.
They wanted approx £1000 to correct this. I declined and somebody else can argue with them when I snuff it.😠

Accidentally or on purpose, given you're not there that long, yet.

Isn't the German language wonderful?
It's got nothing on true Yorkshire dialect it's great fun when i'm meeting the outlaws. Throwing in the odd dales word along the way really shuts them up.

On purpose: the apartment is very small so the wardrobe took up a massive amount of space and blocked the window. Sadly the surroundings gave it a looming presence and it looked quite ugly. Much better for it to be kept in a context that shows its workmanship off to advantage.
It's getting replaced with a smaller version, as is the bed. This will leave me with floor space and just maybe a long enough wall for a model railway...

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
