Good afternoon. I just wanted to share a few of my fav George Parr clips. To explain the background: it's fictitious interviews between John Bird and John Fortune where one always assumes the personality of George Parr, an important person in public life with various functions. Admiral Sir...

Problem IMHO is that the UK doesn't have an industrial core any more (i.e. since it was de-facto dismantled by greedy unions in the 60s). That makes the economy rather vulnerable to the cyclicality of up- and down swings. Quality of the infrastructure is deteriorated accordingly.

Thank you! :) Used to grow up in West Berlin - a concrete wilderness, back then. City has really improved since reunification. Thank you - I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay in Berlin! :) The party was indeed upstairs in the Opernpalais. Decor inside is a little too flamboyant for my...

Thank you! :) I had to give some hints. ;) But it's a funny story, isn't it? Was rather surprised myself, when we sailed into the harbour... Cheers, A.

Good afternoon! As I have again started messing about with pictures, please allow me to present another set: summer holiday 2008, beginning of July. To make the thing more interesting, here is a little quiz: In which location, do you think, have these pictures been taken? The lucky winner...

Good morning! As in the good ol' days, please allow me to share a few pictures of me and my mates with a little focus on dress habits. They originated on the 140. anniversary of my academic club. Have fun. Cheers, A.

Thank you all! Pictures to follow. :) Cheers, A.

Good afternoon! If anyone might have possibly missed me: I am back and online again. :) During summer, I will spend a few weeks in Cambridge, MA and would like to take some advantage of the currently rather favourable Dollar exchange rate. Therefore, I consider to inspect and buy maybe one...

From the latest online edition of the Esquire. Not for the faint-hearted: Seven Totalitarian Wonders Cheers, A.

O dear. Not having been here for two months, I must have missed the beginning of a wonderful friendship...

Teach, I quite agree. On a side note: if you ever manage to fold a quintuple negation into a sentence as naturally as that, I will take the liberty to extend to you the all-time award for masterly confusion of non-native speakers; it includes amongst others an invitation to my favourite...

I am considering to wear a Homburg once and again, with a rather narrow brim. Still debating - after all, I'm just 26 years old...

Love that site! Well done, sir. Whose round is it?
