Steering wheel was locked. My stepdad fixed it thank goodness. Had to drive the Jeep to work and now I finally understand why Europeans think Americans have huge cars.

Had a pretty shitty week.
I received a huge invoice from the city of Neu-Anspach for road repairs.
Business is pretty bad, so my company will fire 400-500 people.
The wife of my brother in law is intensive care. Most likely, she will not survive this weekend.

That is a very bad week. Is your brother-in-laws wife ill or is this an accident injury?

That's dreadful Tom. A shitty week indeed. Why have you got an invoice for road repairs?

My grumpy does not rise to anything near Toms plight.  Hang in there the best you can Tom.

Actually I am not grumpy, merely nostalgic.  I miss Ali, Niya, and Dober and a few other regulars.  Wherever you are, ladies, I wish you the very best.

That's awful Tom, I'm really sorry to hear that, especially the last one. Was it unexpected?

Ali just got engaged according to her facebook, so it looks like she's doing well. But yes, I do miss her and the others. Amicale, DJ, and the late En Route come to mind too.

She had a lap band surgery that went completely wrong. First she got a couple of infections. Then she had a vitamin B deficit and immune system problems. In the hospital she then caught a very nasty antibiotic-resident virus. Now she is in a coma and her organs are failing.

When the city repaired the road, they had to renew all sewage connections from our house to the road. The city itself is nearly bankrupt, so they charged us for these sewage connections. According to German law, they could have charged us for the road repair as well, so basically I should be happy that they didn't.

F***ing Halifax hole in the wall ate my card last night. Had to cancel it. Rang Barclays from my mobile standing next to said hole in the wall. I explained the situation to the operator. What was their first question? Yep you got it. "What is you account number Sir?"  :picard facepalm:
