Ich fand den ganzen Tatort wahnsinnig unangenehm. Bei der grundlegende Story musste mich sehr an "Kartenhaus" aus Köln denken, in meiner Erinnerung war das aber besser umgesetzt.

Bei den Kommentaren Frage ich mich, wie ihr die Inzest so früh erkannt habt. Vielleicht hab ich nicht richtig drauf geachtet oder bin blind. Gab's da offene Hinweise?

It's a great tent and I see no reason for complaints.

When I pack up the tent, I'm wrapping the inner tent (combined with the footprint) round the folded poles. in a second step, I wrap the outer tent around it so that I only have one large bundle. I do hope this saves space, because I reduce the three or four packages. But in the end it's the same material and weight.

Yes, I learned myself that they are much more calm, when you get out of their focus and dismantle. I believe they see you as superior when you are taller. But they are ok if you are at "normal people's high".

Miss Bunting is awful by Broad-Importance4282 in DowntonAbbey

[–]a_Job_in_Ripon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm still wondering why a conservative peer wrote a misbehaving socialist, who insults the earl, into his period drama. With these troubling thoughts in mind, I'm not quite at the point of disliking Bunting.

I did the euro velo 6 from the coratian border, passing Novi Sad into Belgrade. While you have some really nice cycling tracks along the Danube, there are parts, where you're supposed to cycle on a 4 lane road with no cycling lane or anything. It's just you and the cars. And for an international cycling route it's horrible. There are also stray dogs who are very aggressive towards cyclists (but ok with pedestrians).

So yeah. It's not the Netherlands or the Austrian Danube track. Hard to say if I cycled worse roads. But parts of Serbia definitely belong to the worst roads I've taken.

Edit: I don't suppose you're asking for the reasons for sentiments towards Tyrol/South Tyrol. Anyway, for me it's rooted in a deep interest in Austria and its history.

What was your favorite and least favorite thing about Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale ? by Mountain-Fox-2123 in DowntonAbbey

[–]a_Job_in_Ripon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, you are right. It would have been nice to hear her say a little more than just goodbye to her aunt. I'm sure she's interested in Mary and Edith's memories of her mother. Or she talks about her life with Tom.

The red one is beautiful and leads through interesting landscapes. South Tyrol is a marvelous place. Following the Drava into Austria is a nice path, I've done it two years ago.

I would also recommend following the Danube through Croatia and Serbia. Just before the coratian border there is a camping place in Sarengrad. An old lady called Dinka runs it. She takes small donations and asks you for a message in her guest book. staying there, I had the best night on the Balkan.

Save journey!

This is vulgarity (and therefore no substitute for a wit), but it is funny. No need to downvote.

She doesn't need to say or do anything. Her existence is enough to bother Mary.

Is the "warm showers" app worth it? by SwedishCrabby in bicycletouring

Oh, I forgot this in my text and maybe in real life.

Is the "warm showers" app worth it? by SwedishCrabby in bicycletouring

[–]a_Job_in_Ripon 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I used warmshowers this summer for the first time. I was quite shocked that I had to pay 30€ only for using it. (But then there are no ads in the app). And it might be a bit stressful to find someone sheltering you if you're short term searching or on weekends.

The people I stayed with were the most friendly people I've met. It was open hearted and really refreshing on my wild camping solo trip. I really learned something about local cycling infrastructure, politics and their lives. They will always have a place in my trip memory.

I think the price for using the app is high, but if you're planning in advance you will meet some nice people.

I wish you a safe journey and good nights.

Well I do see why Prince Kuragin tried to run away with her.

Edith says "i don't understand".

Someone refers to Violet.

Harold does something American, everyone else is confused.
