One problem I've encountered in Munich is they essentially have a single trunk that runs through the centre. In the case of problems on one line you can often find multiple other lines are also affected. London always seems to have a r

>I knew when I left (I was the last of my school year to do so) it was going to get bad once Elizabeth died How small was your school year?! What does Elizabeth (presumably the 2nd) dying have to do with anything?

I've just switched from DigitalOcean to Hetzner purely for cost. I'm getting more resources for less money. Features seem pretty comparable to me but I don't need anything more than a standard VPS. The only thing I've fo

This is less than half of my rent in London. That's not including gas and electric bills, as well as council tax! I do enjoy having a kitchen though. "technically has no fixed abode" I think here probably actually means he&#x

Apart from being incredibly optimisic about clouds and light pollution, this is really cool. Showing where the satellite should pass from a streetview perspective is a really nice addition I've not seen before.

This seems a little inaccurate. I've found John Pearse for my hometown in Hook, Hampshire. However Wikipedia indicates he's from Hook in Yorkshire. I imagine this could be repeated quite often as there are so many reused place nam

I have several times. Generally I can just say "you can write anything before the @ and it still comes to me" and people understand it though. It doesn't need to become a big discussion about how email works and they've

In the Netherlands it's not terribly uncommon. It used to be more the other direction in the UK but it has become more common to be card only here as well. I'm not really sure where class comes into accepted forms of payment? But

It looks like the flat she referred to still exists, Addison Park Mansions in Hammersmith. So we can make quite good comparison presuming one is rented out still. Though I wouldn't be suprised if they've been parted out into small

Is it not? Or do you just not feel that's a negative?

I did Amsterdam to London by bus overnight once. From memory via Rotterdam, Antwerp and Lille. It was appalling but really something to be experienced. The next day was a write off but I suppose we didn't help ourselves with pints on t

I found it a bit odd that the author differentiated between Britons and Europeans. Britons are Europeans! I wonder why Europeans were so well represented. I wouldn't have necessarily imagined that would be the case. Is it simply becaus

My girlfriend used to work for a reasonably well known mattress company. Apparently returned mattresses there were given to charity for use in homeless shelters and such.

I'd imagine the Benelux countries would stay together as there is so much cooperation between them.

They had a group for this when I was living in Hoofddorp. From memory they called it "Buurtpreventie" which I suppose translates into "Neighbourhood Watch" really. It's just a new evolution of what has existed for a

When I lived in the Netherlands it always seemed like anyone over 30 had a war story of how they used to cycle in such harsh conditions. I used to cycle 18km to get to work and if I would tell a Dutch person it was always "Oh that&#x27

Very striking for me is listing of height, health and birth date. I would never put these on a CV. All irrelevant.

I'd love to give it a try but it looks like you only ship to the US. Are you planning to expand in the future? I'd say the market is certainly there, and not just from Indians. In the UK curry is very widely eaten and many conside

It's quite common to not have air-conditioning in Sydney despite the temperature reaching over 40c in summer. The only really noticeable thing for me compared to Northern European housing is double glazing doesn't seem to be as pr

Do you mean the privately run overground lines? The tube is to me a bit of a marvel, with the newer lines having a train come every 3 minutes at peak times. Even the overground lines which used to be not so great have been taken over by TfL
