English Stammtisch June 17th

Hi Everyone You already know that we're meeting on Thursday, June 17th - always the 3rd Thursday of the month in 2010. Meeting place is Hundskomödie Restaurant in Friedrichsau Park in Ulm, starting at 7 p.m. If you park on the parking lot where the RVs (or camper vans) park and walk into the park from there, you will see Hundskomödie on your left. We can sit on the patio if the weather is nice - which will keep down the noise a bit. Harry will be visiting from Scotland on that evening. The last two months we've had about 50 people attending the Stammtisch gatherings and many people feel that the group is getting too large - and too loud for good English conversation. And conversation is the reason we meet. So.... Sarah Jane Lees has offered to start a second Stammtisch group - possibly on Friday evenings. Sarah plans to be at Hundkomödie on the 17th - and would like to collect the email addresses of those of you who might be interested in joining - should we say - the younger Stammtisch. Please bring along ideas and suggestions of how we can get the new group started. Thanks, Sarah, for agreeing to do this. See you on the 17th Dawn and Heather

It has been grey and cool since Sunday afternoon, really a shame, no midday naps at the Baggersee, which means a higher coffee intake. What is really a shame, is that at the moment we have a few longer weekends, and if the weather sucks, all we do is mope around the house and get on each others nerves. At the same time, I don’t feel like painting or anything, and I still have pics on my camera that I need to upload, but just don’t feel like it. Yesterday the German Bundespresident quit his job, This is such a shame, because he seemed to layman’s opinion, to be the only politician in the whole German system that was worth a hoot. Angie, Westwave, Schäuble, Gysi, all the rest could be sent off to Siberia and Germany wouldn’t be the worse for it. Speaking with my wife, we noted that all the crap-weasels like Westerwelle hang on to their jobs, as if they had100psi suction cups stuck up their asses, and the good politicians quit at the drop of a hat. What is even sadder, is that what he said, was misconstrued, but basically true. On the other “Way of the hard hand”, there is Israel. It seems that they really fucked the taking of those ships to the max. I only hope that a lot more countries start taking a stand, and make the Israel government realise that they cannot get away with everything. I also hope the Israeli citizens, who do not support a lot of the heavy handed politics, start to pressure their own government to rethink their courses of action. If all the Arab nations stood up against them, then even America couldn’t really help them, so maybe they should start thinking about trying to get along with their neighbours. They get along with a few, but just can’t seem to cross the line to befriend themselves with others. Basically though, the best way to beat the Palestinians is really to turn the other check, and show the young Palestinians, that they could have a better life, if they cooperated, but to do this you have to trust them, and invite them into your home, give them jobs, if they don’t have anything to complain about, or rebel against, then they wont. But what do I know?!? YO!
