Who sleeps when the going gets going???

Nuremberg Sausages & a full Bavarian Stein - that should help.

See that is what I like about Bellaonline, we can have four conversations at once and just keep on chatting!

No our press picture did not show the chess game but the Brandenburg gate was in the distance and there was a long lanes or two or three with the stationary cars. A German friend here mentioned that the unions were pretty well organised in Germany too. Do you think the taxi drivers will have any impact on the powers that be by their action?

Here in Johannesburg we have a huge outcry about the new toll roads that are due to come into operation on 30th April - but there is just so much resistence it wil be interesting to see what happens in our courts and in reality.

St Georges? He of the dragon fame? There is such a funny radio skit on this taking off the police in a way mixed in with a bit of James Bond or so who is tasked with a misdemeanour of the maiden eating dragon - he has to slay him and report back quickly. Its really funny, has anyone heard it? Ah well.

Say cheers and go in search of a back porch somewhere!!

Sorry to be so late getting back to you Lestie. To answer your question at last, would be surprised if Taxi drivers strike/go slow will affect any decisions which have already been made, although they do have a genuine reason to be more than a bit 'put out'.

While the residents of Berlin are not exactly thrilled to pieces with the situation either, it will make catching a plane more difficult in more ways than one. Am only an observer on this one, but from everything I've been told this is not a development that could be labelled 'an improvement'.

Love the sound of the St. George radio skit by the way, wonder if I can find it somewhere online. Is it recent?

Hi Francine,

Are you back home or still in France? Can guess only at how busy you have been so hope you are all set for some very good days ahead (weeks and months too!)

I will call my local radio station and ask for more details on the St Georges radio skit, they are sure to give me something more to work on, makes me smile just thinking about it, dahn darant dahn ... even the theme music make you smile.

Looks like the people do not rule any longer (if they ever really did!) as governments across the world carry on regardless, making decisions about all sorts of things and then ramming them down our throats and through parliament or whateer structure is the most expedient.

I am aiming to focus on my containers and carry on - I am a lucky old fish I say to have something so fulfilling to distract me from the news and politics these days.

Cheers to you Francine and all and all

Have to agree with your comment Lestie. Am not sure we have as much influence as we think we do as to what is carried out in our name, or for our 'benefit'.

And that goes for most things from taxes on taxi drivers and journeys to wars. It often seems we are simply presented with a 'fait accompli'.

Oh well it isn't even a long way from our beer topic, because I suppose it all increases beer, and wine, sales...........and increased activity with our container gardens'. cool
