Public holiday here today, there will be riots in Berlin whereas the rest of Germany will be sleeping off hangovers due to the 'Tanz in der Mai' parties last night (otherwise known as Walpurgisnacht). Me, I'm on the way to Holland (Enschede) for lunch and then down to Münster for evening meal.

Holiday in Zurich and riots expected, but not where I am.
Head office is in Zurich so there's nobody to support.

Whatever happened to May day riots in the city?
With the government bailing out the bankers with bucket loads of cash I would have expected a full scale riot.Comment

What's going on in Berlin?
I booked a flight for meine mutter to Münster / Osnabrück the other day. Turns out there were no direct flight from the UK, so it needs a Frankfurt stop.Comment

In Berlin all the left wing agitators come out, particularly in Kreuzberg: a poor part of town, and basically destroy their own livelihood. Its International Workers Day but I doubt half of them have ever held down a job, ******* (they justify it by saying its an anti-fascist demonstration but in truth its just a bunch of th unemployed and layabout students all dressed in black throwing stones at the police.)
Münster is only a small airport catering basically for mainland Europe flights and holiday destinations of which the UK is obviously not one! MÜnster the town though is lovely, in particular the amount of young female students...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
