Damals und Heute
Jonathan: 1990-er Jahren: Damals neulich in Unterfranken umgesiedelt, in Raum Verkehrsplanung beruflich beschäftigt, und zur Sozialversicherungeinzahlungen verpflichtet. Heute denke ich an, in der Rente zu treten, und die fast vergessente Einzhalungen anzudenken. In letzten Tagen hab’ Ich mehrere ämtliche Briefe geschrieben muβen: nach zwanzig Jahren ist das Schrieben siemlich schwierig geworden!!
Hah hah hah: Twitter has published my comment that it wouldn’t publish the post, and thereby has published the post anyway. What a load of twits they are!
Twitter didn’t seem to like this much and refused to publish it: couldn’t make sense of the message. Just a few years ago beards – even desiger stubble – were not just unfashionable, but considered a socially beyond the pale. After a minor remonstration with a neighbour who kicked one of our cats, I was warned by a policeman (that she summoned after retreating to her house) that my beard gave me an intimidating appearance, and if that caused alarm to said lady of delicate disposition, in a public place (and apparently our own garden wass public if in the view of the public), and not withstanding that my conduct otherwise was – he conceded – beyond reproach, I could be arrested for causing a breach of the peace!!!! Where did this happen? Not in Germany, but in Dalbeattie, Scotland. Nice blue wool jacket, but heavens that Oxford shirt was scratchy, and I hated wearing ties – my Adam’s apple look fit to pop out!
