Bullshit agents!

I have just found out that my agent must have been spinning me a yarn.
I have just spoken to the next line Manager who employed me and said that there is no agreement for me to claim more than 8 hours a day contrary to what the agent has been telling me.

So guess what!!!

I am out of here as soon as I find something else !!

Life is odd

Last night was a calm night for me.
Watching Liverpool beat Man City, going out to eat at a Turkish restaurant as any Billy No Mates would!

However, I am amazed at the people I see.
I look at them at the airport, train station and just the streets.
I am living in the Kings Cross of Munich!! Yes there is such a thing with laptop dancers etc.

Anyway, I am amazed at the people I see as I love to study people.
The people here are of all sizes and types.
A number of immigrants mixed with tourists.
There are extremes here.
People who are extremely small and those who are extremely large.
The women are the most extreme.
I am seeing women whose legs are almost the thickness of my torso and that ain't small.
It amazes me how they get around or even how they find clothes to fit, but they do.
I haven't seen too many pretty women which I am surprised about being the richest city in Germany.
I must be in the wrong areas.

My boy did well at the weekend and so did I

Saturday my boys team won 11-1 with my boy scoring 2 goals.
Sunday, they won 2-1 with my boy scoring from just inside the halfway line, great shot over goalie's head.
He also won Player of the Month.
3 games to go and if they win all 3 they win the league. Tough call but hopefully they will do it.

I also picked the winner of the Grand National so a good wad of money for me !!

Munich calling

Dull today but hopefully will get sun later.
Going home for the weekend and returning Monday about Noon time.

What is wrong with developers??

I have a developer who takes everything the wrong way.
He has refused to come to a workshop, so i have eliminated him and will tell him when all has been sorted.
Today I found out he sorted an issue out from Production.
I asked what he had fixed and came back and said who told you I did something in Production.
I have now reworded by saying that the issue WAS in Production but he fixed in the Development environment and forwarded the solution to the Production people.

I am sure he will come back with some odd comment.

He must have Aspergers or is just one fucking twisted nut.
On top of that we are having join our team a guy with Aspergers.
I guess this will mean limited discussions going on!!

Munich is nice but a bit odd

Had a walk last night with my American friends around some of Munich.
The buildings are lovely, loads of churches.
For those who don't know Munich is a translation of Monk and the city has a non-questionable tax for the church.
Lovely weather and was able to eat outside last night and have a beer and then walk to a specialist ice cream place that had a queue. I had a rich chocolate with Ginger and some white one. Both very nice.
What is odd is that they love Pretzels and Israeli dates here. Strange bearing in mind the history and that Munich was a centre for Nazis! just a few miles from Austria.
Anyway, the sun is blazing again today but stuck in a room of about 28c suffering

Car up the creek!

About a year ago I bought a Peugeot from Toomey's in Basildon.
Then a few months ago I was going to swap for a BMW. The BMW garage told me that the car had been resprayed. I told them not when I have had the car, so i called Toomey's. They again said that it hadn't and would give a letter to say so, as it was a demo car.

Anyway after a year and the car being 4 years old it was playing up and I took it to my own mechanic who is a BMW expert.
They said the catalytic converter had gone and caused damage to the Exhaust due to the gases build up.
They couldn't understand why the Cat.Converter had gone so soon on the car.
Then they also notice that the paintwork had been changed and now reckon a previous crash may have caused it.
So it has cost me Stg 400 for the converter the rest (total Stg 770) is down to service and replacement of some of the exhaust as the garage managed to save some.

So I am not happy and it appears that Toomey's of Basildon, Essex are crooks!!!!
