 Yaaawn!Good Morning Everyone,what a night! Didn´t sleep more than 2 hours and now I am feeling like having been quartered... [xx(]Zoe, make that a bucket full of cafe au lait for me, croissants, butter and two kinds of jam, thank you. I´ll be in the corner booth, trying not to fall asleep again.Who started to talk about math in here? I just hated it - had to do the whole lot, deep down into the guts of calculus. The teacher was a (expletive, deleted)[|(] who later got sacked! I graduated from high school 35 years ago and it is still a nightmare for me!Sam - my philosophy teacher was like your Spanish teacher - just soooo cute! She must have been not older than 24 and we all fell in love with her. Co-education did not exist in those days in Germany, so I was on an all boys school. That lady teacher passed her teaching exam in our class with a straight A++! Lee - parts for Rivarossi US locos are hard to get here as well. Rivarossi is a brand which hardly a LHS stocks. US prototype equipment is only available via mail order shops and you don´t want to know the prices for spare parts. Danny - our government is pumping billions of Euros into dead banks and big companies, but ignore the fact, that the majority of jobs are within the medium-sized businesses. This is, where the credit crunch hits the hardest, as the banks are still overly restrictive in their lending policy. The financial crisis is now starting to reach the job market and we expect the number of unemployed people to skyrocket this year.My own business was already a victim of the credit crunch, as my bank did not anymore honor the financing agreement we had. A clear breach of contract, but I don´t have the 2 million Euros it will cost to sue them. In the process of this, I had to close down my operation and did not only lose my source of income, but also my "worldly" possessions. My wife Petra and I are now living off social security, which pays only for a pretty meager life. As someone thought, that, at the age of 53, I am not able to write up a CV and turn in a proper job-application, I was made to participate in the training I call the GULAG. If I don´t go there, they will reduce my allowance. Aside from attending the GULAG, I am working on a re-start of my business, though on a much smaller basis. But definitively not in Germany - no, Sir!Have a good weekend!
