A mate drove the Chunnel from France to England in a 2-seat Boxster with his lady. He pulled up to immigration. The guy asked how many people were in the motorcar. He looked around. Um, two. "Pardon me for asking, but isn't it obvious?" "You'd be surprised what I've seen doing this job." 😅

Back from the club for another curry night. A lad experienced an accident, but the chicken vindaloo was delivered on time with much fanfare. South Park S29E02 is playing. Shortly American Horror Story. Not just in the bathroom. Life is good. 😅 @nigella.bsky.social never saw something like this!

It is now that I've replenished the supply of toilet paper. Too many curries and chipotle chicken at Chez Ashby have diminished the supply. 😀Bought one of the air fresheners that is powered by the mains to make the throne room less like the München Hauptbahnhof toilet!

Good morning #bluesky The municipality fixed the road and moved the digger. I can now get the car out and visit the mall shortly. It's good to do the weekly shop when it is wet and dump excess rubbish. Also run the bedding in the industrial washer located in the car park and wash the fine motorcar 😀

Well, it is Wednesday, meaning a trip to the mall was on the cards. But the exit was blocked by an abandoned digger and a big, dirty hole in the road. Where's Wally? In the chat group, they gave the handful of motorists seven minutes to get the hell out of there. Why not seven days?

What's worse? #bluesky The morning after the hottest curry ever and lots of wine to wash it down OR Installing Windows 11 and Office 365 from scratch on a new brand spanking new SSD. I'm predicting drama with Activation. The usual Microsoft bullshitto 😅

It took thirty minutes to clean the kitchen this morning, if that is any indication of the high quality. The curry was the hottest and spiciest I've ever had. The side effect is a ring of fire. I haven't verified if the neighbour now has hair on his chest, but I feel like I have the dreaded COVID 😅

Preparing a kick-arse stock for the rice with the chicken parts. We are making a shit-hot curry, so spicy it will put hair on the neighbour boys' chest. x8 scorpion chillies are being reduced; this will be a fucking moment. 😅

Back at the gaff, tapas are served. Chorizo, salsa verde on a day-old baguette.

This is a milestone moment. It is the first time in Amsterdam someone conversed with me without complaining or asking where I'm from. The Dutch moan more than the English if you can believe it.

The irony. Westpac recently forced its WFH staff back to the office for a few days a week. Now they can watch the cricket and fool their bosses in an office with a daft spreadsheet after updating FB and Insta. 😅

Good morning #bluesky It will probably be the last "warm" day of the year in Amsterdam Zuid. A boiling 26C! Knock-off drinks are planned for earlier today to take advantage of the lovely weather. After preparing chipotle chicken last night, devising a new recipe will be a challenge. A good day! 😀❤️

Mahi Mahi fish tacos with a lovely salsa verde? Earlier, I prepared prawn ceviche with chorizo, scorpion chilli, green salsa verde... brilliant. Who is this person saying it doesn't work? Heathen! 😅

What a day! Posh boy @ashbym.bsky.social pulled his hamstring at the gym. Good thing he rode the Scoot there. The SSD in my laptop died. The flat was taken over by fruit flies. The bunch of bananas purchased earlier caused havoc. I had to open a bottle of wine to cope. 😅 This is living

OK, let me get in the fine motorcar now and drive to Poland to fill up. LOL. The article says what everyone in the NL knows. If you can fill up in Belgium or Deutschland, go for it.

I can't say I've enjoyed sailing the salty seas with my fine motorcar between England and Spain, but to each their own.

It may not look like much, but it packs a punch. Raw prawn ceviche in lime juice, salt and pepper Chorizo Passata reduced into a paste infused with scorpion chilli and garlic Served on a slice of baguette and a drop of green chilli habanero sauce We've got 24 of these bad boys. Late lunch is served.

Happy Monday #buesky It was an early start this morning after a big breakfast. Not much drama on the road back to Amsterdam. No fun and games on the autobahn before the sun appeared, opting to immediately cross into the Netherlands for a calm drive. Have a great day! 😀❤️

Many questions: MTV exists? I thought the channel went off the air. Do artists still make music videos? I guess so. News to me.

Aachen has a local monster called the Bahkauv. A giant, ugly creature that supposedly lives around the city's hot springs. According to the legend, it would lurk around at night and attack drunk men coming home from the pubs by jumping onto their backs and making them carry it home.

Saturated in sweat, we are moving on from the old German bunker to watch the second half of the England v Spain football match at the boozer. #ENGvSPA

We are in an old German bunker. It was transformed into a live music venue. Hellhookah AND Hell Gate are on the bill. Doom metal/post-black metal, if that's your thing. Hot as hell-😅 the excuse for the posh lad to take his shirt off 😅 @ashbym.bsky.social Love Deutschland ❤️

No, it was in the "welcome guide" with respect to the rules. Don't make noise after that time; otherwise, the police will be called 😅

Good morning. We are checking out the sportswetten later for one of the races in Dresden. Hopefully it's as cool and filled with locals as the Tabac/PMU in France.

A lot of song and dance about noise disturbance (Ruhestörung) and fines in the rental notice. Noise, including loud sex, loud TV, talking outside when smoking, and singing football songs between 22:00 and 06:00, will be promptly reported to the 🦺 Aachen Ordnungs- und Sicherheitsdienst and Polizei 😅

Out for coffee. Offered propaganda regarding a protest scheduled for tomorrow in Aachen. "Don't build the expanded military complex on this particular green area." Near the Belgium-Netherlands border?

In Venice, Italy, I once streamed a pirated copy of Avengers: Endgame for my ex. I was asleep within five minutes. That is the entirety of my Marvel Cinematic Universe experience. I remain completely unashamed and, frankly, probably a better person for it.

The posh boy sought guidance from the server. We are out on the terrace. Before taking off his shirt to recharge in the direct sun, he asked about the Hausrecht - house rules. “Ist es okay, wenn ich mein T-Shirt ausziehe?” 😅 With bonkers laws in Germany, you never know if the police will turn up. 😅

When I last visited South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, I observed the 30-car queue backing up traffic on Bristol Street and a few irate people 😅

He got it to 241 km/hr but it is hard to relax at that speed. An excuse to drink beer and take the edge off with a schnitzel, I suppose 😅

Just crossed the Deutschland border. Super-bonkers sports mode engaged on the fine motorcar. Tearing down the autobahn as the happy passenger. Some parts of the route are not speed limited as you well know. Next stop, Aachen, a very fun city. Posh boy got it over 205 km/hr briefly. 😀
