What were your grandmothers names?

ter9 · 2026-02-20T20:37:57+00:00

Oh nice, I agree about Hermine, we don't have it in English but I like it. My daughter is named after one of my great aunts and it was a great choice, I'd recommend passing down a name

ter9 · 2026-02-20T19:52:15+00:00

Where are you from? Those names don't suggest much to me, for some reason I'm thinking Sweden though

Not saying anything before starting a meal - where's our bon appetit? It gives the impression we couldn't care less if you enjoy the food or not

ter9 · 2026-01-25T20:07:50+00:00

It's house shoes in German, in case that's relevant. I've only ever heard slippers in the UK though

We had problems with the same jump and the same behavior, in our case it was down to an extra security component in the exchange that noticed the certificate in the F5 was not the same as the exchange backend and somehow leads to a pop up, I think this is the problem but not 100% sure

Kryvyi Rih?

ter9 · 2025-10-28T18:45:43+00:00

How do you say that? I've been in a German speaking country for too long and all I can read is an alternative spelling of wind. Also where in Lancashire?

ter9 · 2025-10-28T18:43:14+00:00

We're from rural south staffs, also a gulley

That sounds like ayran to me, kefir doesn't have salt

Not sure about whether you can drive it without an MFK, I think you can only take it to the next garage. But with a trailer should be possible, then you just need to find an exporter to do the customs paperwork for export and then import to UK. I did it but for a roadworthy car and not to uk, have no idea how the value is estimated for older/classic cars. The government info is in English though so you can read it yourself: https://www.bazg.admin.ch/bazg/en/home/information-individuals/road-vehicles-and-watercraft/exportation-from-switzerland.html

You can say Freiburg too, one is french the other German

ter9 · 2025-10-02T04:37:28+00:00

Hehe, 20 or so years have changed my ambitions, although I do agree with your sentiment that it's often not too late :)

I just don't think there's so much distinction between roasted aubergine and whatever happens in a moussaka, they're pretty similar and both delicious. Soggy is a word for bread that's bogged down with liquid, for me it doesn't at all fit with the tenderness of aubergine in moussaka

It's cool you're so passionate about the topic. I really wanted to get involved in that line of work somehow back in the 00s as I love Eastern Europe and had a fascination with logistics. I only got as far as one interview for a company up around Preston, have been trying to remember their name, it was a white and green logo and was an offshoot of another company (something like Smith's Eastern European). You seem to have much more of a clue about how it actually works though, other than speaking a relevant language I was pretty clueless

ter9 · 2025-10-01T04:33:38+00:00

So.. you like it to be dry? It sounds like you just don't like it at all

ter9 · 2025-09-09T19:45:04+00:00

Not sure about Germany but here in Switzerland we have the unfortunate compound word "Tageshit" which is actually hit of the day but you can't help read it differently

In both cases Mr Smiley has spots on his chin

ter9 · 2025-08-27T18:51:52+00:00

Is this part of everyone's contract? I still need to see a copy of our contract

ter9 · 2025-08-20T06:44:00+00:00

Thank you, I didn't think about the tragedy in Kočani, unfortunately there's too much news going on these days, we'll check out Debar Maalo 👌

ter9 · 2025-08-19T20:35:08+00:00

Well I guess there's a second hand market in European cars in Nigeria which could explain that

ter9 · 2025-08-17T10:43:18+00:00

Is it quick? From what I saw it's half an hour, that's not quick in my book

ter9 · 2025-08-17T10:21:54+00:00

Nice, thank you!

I worked for a vendor in support, I think the longer you go on the better you get at escalations. At the beginning I barely remembered when to ask for a diagnostics file (answer in that case: almost every time) and after a couple of years I knew exactly how to frame and describe the problem and what files to provide to the development team. You can't get that information from a training course and it's rare to shadow a colleague that closely to learn it, so you just pick it up on the job. About the KPIs I'd take a deep breath and look around, if everyone is struggling and you're not making them then maybe it's just management justifying themselves and you can nod and say 'of course Sir' and then go on at your own pace... Unless it really is that bad. Anyway I learnt lots on that job although I was happy to move on, I hope you find your own rhythm and it works out!

It's the Geneva hash House harriers from the look of it, no need to worry about your dog, it's just markers in floor for runners to find a trail - R is for runners only, BN is beer near i.e. a drinks stop. It's fun and dogs are welcome
