Maybe the piping of his shower exploded and he's trying to swim upstream up the stairs, like a salmon... (Mmmmussst turn offffff waterrrrr...)

Today's pay day.

Nett amount more on my paycheck : 505 euro
Taxes here are ridicioulous

I knew it was going to be bad, but i still had hoped it would be something like 800 nett.
I'll probably get a half decent refund then, but you still have to wait for the refund for at least a year... if not more

Does this mean you can't finish the b-room remodel?

nope, it just means i'll have to get more creative with deductables.

DSL is still down.

So Geronimo, you basically tell the contractors to shove it?

Morning fellas.

Morning Rick!

Ah! Markus is with us too.

Good morning, fellas.

One of these days I am going to find out how to get to that list. In the meantime I clicked the reply button. Pretty impressive. 90% of this 600+ posts thread is produced by four people. Thats a hardcore exclusive breakfast club.

A friend of mine will be attending the Hansa Scuderia Nurburgring instruction course next week. Runs for four days. Involves a lot of driving and even walking around the ring, learning every turn. He asked me to join him but I have to work. "O come on! Tell them you are ill! Its only 1900 Euro! :eek:

DSL is back up!

Markus, sounds like a great deal!

You are backing out of a chance to go to Nuremberg? Huh? Please say it ain't so. Doc you need to go see a Dr. Cause you are ill

Dave you been here via the phone?

Not really, but if they charge too much, which happens ( they can try), I provide the data, plans, numbers to show them that they're wrong, and that were not paying extra.
I work for a group of contractors and I check the subcontractos so they don(t charge too much.
