Thoughts and opinions
FOR F…’S SAKE BERLIN
Limitation or liberation?
Where is the sense of proportion?
Time for a word about pub quiz, a.k.a. quiznight or trivia night, behaviour when mistakes are invariably made
The IT paranoia in this country sometimes drives me crazy
Warning: A couple of rants or three
What I have learnt about narcissism in the past few months
The German obsession with phone calls (and lies)
So how is that boycott of US goods and services going?
Misogyny – it is getting more and more rampant – what is going on?
The weekly rant I
More about central heating, Berlin style
I love Berlin but it does have its less attractive quirks
Here we go again ……
Life is weird on all levels
A food-waste and ugliness orgy
Nine November – a day of remembrance in Germany for many reasons
Sorry for sounding like a broken record ….
Lies, lies, lies
Two years cancer free (and boob free but you can’t have everything)
Can anyone explain?
So there are SOME rules in this country ….
“Famous last words ……”
Perhaps we should wish for more wars – not fewer
Berlin is taking insanity and ugliness to the next level
“Sie” or “Du”
And another thing that (I hope) is peculiar to Berlin
Berlin is proud of its wildlife. Or is it?
The German bureaucracy is getting worse, not better
Hibernation, and VHS’s latest insanity
There is something I apparently need to keep repeating …
I love Berlin, BUT :-)
Difficult times to be living in Germany as a non-German
“The age of infantilism”
Do they want us to choose rail over air travel or not? Apparently not
A couple of recommendations of exercises that can be done anywhere
Relief: I must be doing something right
Why is it so complicated to find a reliable cleaning help in Berlin?
There ought to be a law against ….
Not all days go according to plan
Checking the news first thing in the morning is a bad idea
Foobs
What’s up with those shoulders?
I do love meat ….
Energy crisis or just a Hausverwaltung that does not care?
Walk in Spandauer Forst with Empor Berlin 22 July, and a word on the often embarassing voice of priviledge
Pedestrians are unwanted in Berlin
Damn you, Putin
Good to know
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve
Finally “geboostert”
Really? I am “living in fear”?
Relics from WWII
One more word about anti-vaxers
A way to make friends in the neighbourhood
Aww – a little bit too tall to get through there?
I must have completely misunderstood what a Hausverwaltung should be doing
Leserbrief für Den Tagesspiegel
My very first personal encounter with discrimination, racism and xenophobia in Berlin
Really? Hugging is back?
One of the few things I miss about Denmark ….
Walk in Spandauer Forst with Empor Berlin 22 July, and a word on the often embarassing voice of priviledge
Please stop calling it “Europe’s Migrant Crisis”
Berlin, a good biking city? Nothing could be further from the truth
I understand this country less and less
Pænt goddaaaaaarrrrrrgh
Fresh-smelling laundry minus conventional fabric softener
Smagfuldt eller smagsfuldt
Det er ikke noget, jeg er stolt af ……
Danmark er i sandhed et mærkeligt land
Hvorfor i alverden drikker voksne danskere sodavand …..
Udenlandske hjemløse ….
Ban Ki-Moon and the death penalty
“Copenhagen Zoo just killed four lions”
Botox
Moral er godt, dobbeltmoral er dobbelt så godt
Det ulmende snæversyn og fremmedhad, og de fladpandede fordomme
Vor herre bevares
What is WRONG with Denmark?
Why is it always “the eastern Europeans”?
Det ulmende snæversyn og fremmedhad, og de fladpandede fordomme
Where is the sense of proportion in this country?
