Dear Fighter,
I have broken with two long traditions. Firstly, the minor one and the one that has actually not reached a true tradition status yet: I have arrived at home earlier than the 24th. And it was actually not that bad. I survived my family and I was actually able to see some friends, even old ones from high-school.
the second one is more serious. I have never taken a girl home for christmas. i was weird. she is a true star; what can i say. she goes along with everything, my friends, the unspleasent feeling of not being fluent in German, working on christmas day and boxing day. amazing. the downside is that it is now officially serious..... don't know how i feel about this? it is serious but i am not willing to get tied down, yet.
what more to say, we had a second christmas at her parents. i actually stayed the night. it was strange at first, but the matress was good. just kidding, it was a very nice evening with me trying to watch what I say the whole time...

XMAS CARDS - the true motivation
Dear Fighter,
today at work, a collegue pointed out the true meaning of xmas cards that one receives from its suppliers. I do have to admit there is some truth in it. Just try it yourself, as someone who knows nothing about the person/company that send the card to interpret the message/meaning of the card.
It will work, try it.
Keep Fightin,
Jochen

...left side...wrong side...right side
Dear Fighter,
I am German! I drive on the right side of the road, I sit on the left side of the car. Though, we all know that we are right, we are the majority but we are also aware that some people believe and act differently!
I have been living in the uk for about 2.5 years and always been driving a German car with German plates and the steering wheel on the proper side. It's not too bad actually, just a pain when driving into (or out of) a car park. Tight left curves taken (as I always do) FAST get the adrenaline pumping and overtaking on a two way road is only for the suicidal! Besides these small drawbacks I actually enjoy but will not test anylonger at least one advantage: I am untouchable by the police! Pulled over three times for speeding and no ticket, nothing! Of course one needs to be quick in explaining how it can be that one is only been in the country for thee month.... Don't get too excited, you can hide from the police but not KEN, yes, our friends from the congestion charge will track you down wherever you are!
Where did I start off? Ahhhhh! Driving, which side? Three interesting facts:
The street in front of the Savoy in London is supposely the only street in England where one drives on the right! It is supposely from back in the days when cab drivers still opened the doors for the passengers. LINK
Austria was driving on the left till 1930s! Hitler invaded his home country and changed the rule!
The postman in Switzerland, and apperantly many other countries, drives with the steering wheel on the right to make it easier to access the post boxes.
Lastly, WHY DO WE DRIVE ON THE LEFT / WRONG SIDE? However, here is the complete update from Wikipedia!

...Child On Board... - the truth
Dear Fighter,
a true mystery to me has always been the child or baby on board sign in the cars of ladies who are almost always driving alone. Yes, most of the time there is no child or baby on board.
The obvious reason would be to protect their child from reckless drivers like, for example, eh, me!? But? Do I care? Do we care? NO, NO, NO! However, I am very sure that they are aware of that! So, what else could it be?
It is an advertisement, that's obvious! But for what! Is it, "hey I made it, I am fertile"? Maybe, but I believe it is more like:
Female + Baby = Young, Heterosexual, and Taken!
But why would she advertise this? Let's analyse:
Young:
One could actually turn this around and say that this sign was placed there by the husband to actually achieve the oposite. We all know, MOTHER, as opposed to girl with child, is not sexy. But we all know, if a husband really thinks that, HE IS WRONG!
Here a couple different examples:
Bitch on Board:
What is the message? Forget all of the above! She is just playing! No flirt! No sex!
Librarian on Board:
Oh baby! A picture says it all:

Urban Legend - Casino & Oxygen
Dear Fighter,
this is actually # 200 of Urban Legends that I had to proof wrong. Not to the world but to my girlfriend.
Is it only me? Have you had or are you still having a girlfriend that truly believes the weirdest things only because mom, dad or god knows who told them that this is true?
Here is the story, I will let you read the details within my sources: Casinos pump pure O2 into their gambling rooms to keep players on the machines / tables since they are not getting tired as quickly.
The obvious answer: No, would be a bit danerous in case of fire! See below the more detailed NO!

Dinner @ Hind's Head - Bray
Dear Fighter, Dear Mr. Blumenthal,
I know, the Hind's Head is not your flagship. But I suggest you should walk across the street more often from the Fat Duck to have a look at the kitchen. The food was not all bad, but too mixed. When I visit a restaurant / pub like yours a expect to get a perfect dish no matter what I order. I understand, there may be difference in taste, but if 7 people agree....I think they are right!
Half a Dozen Duchy of Cornwall Oysters £12.50
| Amazing Oysters, fresh, fresh, fresh
Soused Herrings with Beetroot and Horseradish £7.50
| excellent fish, horseradish was lacking a bit
Potted Shrimps with Watercress Salad £8.25
| strange version of potted shrimps, very heavy, liquid, but overall good taste
Rabbit and Bacon Terrine with Cucumber Pickles £7.75
| excellent
Dandeloin Salad
| nothing special
Skate Wing with Capers, Lemon and Parsley £15.50
| excellent
8oz Rump Steak with Bone Marrow Sauce and Triple Cooked Chips £18.50
| meat quality very substandart, chips very good though
Sea Bream with Fennel Salad
| fish good, fennel salad excellent
Gloucester Old Spot Pork Chop with Pease Pudding £13.50
| meat mediocre in quality and taste, pease pudding is boring
Lancashire Hotpot £15.50
| potatoes burned, below a soup, worst dish of the night
Quaking Pudding £5.95
| BORING
BTW: please change menu and ingredients more often.

Carting in London
Dear Fighter,
it has been a long time since I went carting. The place was hard to find ;-) but the track was not too exciting. We were racing with a couple other people but all were no match for me. ;-)
Here we are in the briefing room.
Before us were a couple of kids, real small and cute....
No pic from the race, but here are the results....
Just to make this clear, I won!
Yes, as indicated above, I was also the fastest of the day! Check out the detailed lap results below!
Here are Lucinda's results. Not bad for a girl who did it for the first time.

Sikh on Motorcycle
Dear Fighter,
tonight, while driving back from an excellent dinner I had the chance to witness another mystery. I drove past a Sikh on a motorcycle and he was not wearing a helmet. Of course, Sikh are not allowed to take their turban off. This get me thinking, does the law, which by the way stipulates that a Sikh may keep their turban on during security control at the airports, recognize a religous superpower wich enables the turban to protect its wearer?
And yes, it does! My research found the following link: SikhWiki
Don't get me wrong, I respect the decision to honor a religous belief. But what I don't understand is that I may not ride without a helmet (or may not wear a seat belt). I am not putting anyone in danger (besides myself) whilst not wearing a helmet or seat belt.
Why do I have to comply whilst other get exemptions from the law?

Frankfurt WE 25.08.07 - IKEA NIGHTMARE
Dear Fighter,
my recent trip to Frankfurt was not one of the best. I had to learn that my stepfather is not doing very well, now after about 5 years in the wheelchair the kidneys have stopped working. I felt a bit guilty that I didn't spend more time with him but there were just too many people around him. And I am not really a big fan of ALIBI visits.
Anyhow, i pretty much reserved Saturday night for a good night. Plan was to go to the Frankfurter Botschaft for dinner and a little bit of party later.
That was the plan. But IKEA destroyed the plan. Oliver, who was supposed to join dinner with his girlfriend Sarah, had men from IKEA over at his house to built his newly purchased bedroom. Their plan was to arrive at 16:00h and to leave at 20:00h. They did arrive at the correct time, but as it turned out, the guys had no clue what they were doing.
In a last attempt to rescue the evening, we opted to meet at Oliver's, as opposed to the restaurant, to have an apperative and then go out. However, 3-4 bottles of champagne and a good amount of sushi the were still not finished (23:30!) 30 minutes later we were finally able to leave. The venue of our choice was a rooftop garden on top of the boerse parkhaus. BORING! Yes, I have to admit, there was the Mainufer fest in Frankfurt and everyone else was there. Anyhow, 2 hours later, took the cab home. It was still a good evening.
BTW: Oliver's and Sarah's new bed did not survive the first night!! ;-))))
On Sunday, RELAXATION was it. TV, TV, TV, TV, nothing else!
Monday: Appointment with a customer of the hotel and then tea with Yvonne and dinner with Gerlinde. Was good to see her again. Though,.....
That was about it, keep fightin'

Can Poquer - Mallorca 2007
Dear Fighter,
the time was right. 12 month after my last real vacation. Malle 2007 reloaded the 4th. Present were the managers (10 days), little schnu and finki (5 days), Lucinda and me (10 days). Additionally, my uncle and his family as well as my mother for a couple of days.
I was quite scared by the fact that my uncle's familie and my mother would be there. I thought it would impeed my relaxation. However, this was not the case. It was a great holiday.
It didn't start of well as we spend the entire way to Luton in a traffic jam. Checkin was smooth, the airport was empty, however, the flight was crazy. We had a girl panicing before takeoff, an extremely smelly unidentified person, a couple brazilian (excuse the french) whores and an extremely bad landing. Though the managers picked us up on time and we let the relaxation being.
Relaxation at the pool, lot's of cava, not so much vodka this time, schotski was less popular and good food, twice to the beach, once to Palma, couple times to Pollenca. Just doing nothing, RELAXING 100% percent. btw. did not get stung by jellie fish.
My B-Day was particularly great. My mom organized a bbq. Was an really nice evening with family and friends. What more can one as for? Here a list of my presents:
Never Eeasyjet again: It started out that we were informed by Lucinda's parents that our flight will be delayed. Upon checking we were informed, after Lucinda paid the obligatory excess baggage charge (4kg only) that our plane would be on time. However, we soon found out that it would be almost two hours delayed which meant that we would only arrive at about4am. We accepted it, no choice. Upon arrival at the gate however, Easyjet announced an indefinate delay and started giving out vouchers. Took it easy and requested to get our flight changed to the next day. Surprise! No argument! 12:00pm tomorrow, please proceed to the ticket desk.
Ticket desk! Rebooked! Luggage? will arrive in 15 to 30 minutes. I wondered off to find a rental car again. no luck! ok, let's take a cab (who cares about the 30 to 50 euros). now: waiting for luggage! after multiple complaints why it is taking so long, and after being told that it is not their (the ticket desk people's) problem that it is taking so long as we wished to rebook our flight and after my request to speak to the manager was put off with the words: "he will not take to you!" Our luggage arrived after a bit over an hour.
So we took the cab back to the house to enjoy the last bottle of cava after shaving out 70 euros.
After a good nights rest, we were driven to the airport. Checkin, no shopping, cafe solo, 1,5h delay, we took off. Flight was ok (L did not puke this time, will she ever overcome her dislike for pringles and kit kat)! Arrival! Long term parking! Traffic Jam! Arrival at work. Holiday over!
Here are the pictures:

??38mph?? - speed limit - Windsor Great Park
Dear Fighter,
I have to correct some of the things I have said in the past about the "ENGLISH". A couple, two to be precise, I wondered why the hell Windsor Great Park had a 38mph speed limit.
Now, I have the answer from the park authorities.
It turns out, the "Park", the most "ENGLISH" thing you could imagine (state estate of the QUEEN) was already looking ahead in 1973 when it introduced a metric speed limit of 60km/h. However, it was set back by the common law which stated that signage had to be in MPH. Therefore, the closest thing to 60km/h was 38mph.
The only question I would ask: Why the hell did they not take the piss and posted a 37,28227 mph speed limit. I guess, they are ENGLISH after all.

Cartier Polo 2007 - Windsor Great Park
Dear Fighter,
the time had come. My 2nd time to the Cartier Polo, one of the most prestigeous events in the British social calander as my gf would say..... PICS ARE HERE
This year it was different! This year I was scared that I had to eat my picnic in the mud, combine my dress with wellies and that I would have to listen to a moaning english lady....even if she believes that due to the fact that she is British, sorry English, she is able to cope with any weather,...and yes, she believes that she may wear wellies to dress. I admire that...if someone really does it. do I believe the that the English would do that? Yes! Do I believe that she would do that? NO!
Anyhow, I was not able to put it up to at test. The weather, yes there were flood warnings in other parts of the country, was good. Hot, to be precise. And NO, I did not learn the lesson from last year that sun = sunburn.
There we were, it rained all night, but in the morning the sun was out. Plan was to leave at 10:00h. She, in charge of food and everything else except driving there, was late, as expected, preparing the food. (she only started the night before) We left at 10:30h! Into the car, "may I take the roof down?", "NO, too cold!", "it has 16C", "NO"! Ok, let's go! Bit of driving and, typical for London, TRAFFIC JAM, &%$£$"SHIT%£$"%! forgot my cigarettes, how will I survive. Franatic search inside the car, nothing, should I go to the trunk and get the cigar? No, let's just hang out in the traffic jam!
One and a half hours later, after realizing the beauty of Windsor Great Park and the ???38mph??? speed limit in the park (no, there is not obvious link when you google it), we arrive at our parking spot on the lawn. Off we went to buy some Moet. A bit of crusing in the retail village, zero cigarettes in sight, none on sale? What has happened to this world. Thank you very much Mr. Ipod Accessories Man!
Picnic, delicious, champagne cold, and yes we had the coolest champagne cooler! Of to the toilette. Traffic Jam again! Of to the bushes! Relief! Return to car, relaxing, dessert, off to the Game! Did I mention that we missed the first one...
Anyhow, game started, polo, not the most exciting sport of the world. wonder what the fascination is.... it's about money and not everybody can play it, therefore, everybody that wants to be a bit posh goes and watches it. Yes, this includes me! Cute horses though, and cut ladies too. Wow, like the legs...ehm....dress.
Game over, CHILE WON! Yesssssssssss.......
Another Traffic Jam, Toilets again. Purchase of obligatory Polo Shirts. And a necklace for her.
HIGHLIGHT: Got hold of friend finally, am able to get into Cartier tent. We had a good look around, she saw two famous people, and we had a glas of champagne. Been there, done that, off we went home.
Good Fight! Good Night!

This year I was scared that I had to eat my picnic in the mud, combine my dress with wellies and that I would have to listen to a moaning english lady....even if she believes that due to the fact that she is British, sorry English, she is able to cope with any weather,...and yes, she believes that she may wear wellies to dress. I admire that...if someone really does it. do I believe the that the English would do that? Yes! Do I believe that she would do that? NO!
Anyhow, I was not able to put it up to at test. The weather, yes there were flood warnings in other parts of the country, was good. Hot, to be precise. And NO, I did not learn the lesson from last year that sun = sunburn.
There we were, it rained all night, but in the morning the sun was out. Plan was to leave at 10:00h. She, in charge of food and everything else except driving there, was late, as expected, preparing the food. (she only started the night before) We left at 10:30h! Into the car, "may I take the roof down?", "NO, too cold!", "it has 16C", "NO"! Ok, let's go! Bit of driving and, typical for London, TRAFFIC JAM, &%$£$"SHIT%£$"%! forgot my cigarettes, how will I survive. Franatic search inside the car, nothing, should I go to the trunk and get the cigar? No, let's just hang out in the traffic jam!
One and a half hours later, after realizing the beauty of Windsor Great Park and the ???38mph??? speed limit in the park (no, there is not obvious link when you google it), we arrive at our parking spot on the lawn. Off we went to buy some Moet. A bit of crusing in the retail village, zero cigarettes in sight, none on sale? What has happened to this world. Thank you very much Mr. Ipod Accessories Man!
Picnic, delicious, champagne cold, and yes we had the coolest champagne cooler! Of to the toilette. Traffic Jam again! Of to the bushes! Relief! Return to car, relaxing, dessert, off to the Game! Did I mention that we missed the first one...
Anyhow, game started, polo, not the most exciting sport of the world. wonder what the fascination is.... it's about money and not everybody can play it, therefore, everybody that wants to be a bit posh goes and watches it. Yes, this includes me! Cute horses though, and cut ladies too. Wow, like the legs...ehm....dress.
Game over, CHILE WON! Yesssssssssss.......
Another Traffic Jam, Toilets again. Purchase of obligatory Polo Shirts. And a necklace for her.
HIGHLIGHT: Got hold of friend finally, am able to get into Cartier tent. We had a good look around, she saw two famous people, and we had a glas of champagne. Been there, done that, off we went home.
Good Fight! Good Night!

Doping - Sports, Tour de France
Dear Fighter,
I am a competitive person. I hate to lose and the 2nd place is truly the first place of the losers.
Therefore, I understand why people use doping.
These days there is not sport that is free of doping. The current witch hunt and media boycotts are the bullshit I have ever witnessed. The media wants records, the media knows that records may only be attained with doping, still they are condemming it because they want to continue to fool the public.
Make doping legal, still the best man will win but the pulic will not be fooled any longer. Consider it advanced training.

- people want to win
- the puplic loves to see people attain new world records
- today's time, speed, length must be better than yesterday's

Die Hard 4.0 - would be a good movie without the jet
Dear Fighter,
I am a big fan of the "Die Hard" movies, I love to see how John McClane gets beaten up, how he bleeds, aches and still manages to kill everyone. Amazing who this one man manages to stop the bad guys single handed over and over again without losing his humor.
Yippie Kai Ya, Motherfucker!
DIE HARD 4.0 / On Wikipedia
The 4th sequal of the franchise has turned out to be a good movie, not great, not excellent. It is a movie that you watch once maybe twice, not more. Why? Action is good, however the main point of critique, the action is too much. My rating would most likely been better if they would have not shot the scene with the F35 and the truck. The makers are actually trying to make us believe that a truck is able to avaid bullets and rockets on a narrow bridge road that have been shot by an iraq trained top breed american fighter pilot. Yes, the US airforce had to send all their good people away to war but! He must be a good pilot, just look at the way he manouvers his plane around and under the bridge. And they are really telling us that this pilot missed a truck from 50 (or less) meters away?
What more? (I will just ignore that i don't believe that John is able to fly a helicopter)
Maggie Q and John's daugther ---> HOT!
Generally, it is a good summer movie (the one liners are not as good as they used to be), sit down, lean back and enjoy the action.

Smoking Ban - An issue straight from my heart ;-)
Dear Fighter,
this comes straight from my heart. What happened to the world that we need legislation to stop smoking. We need legislation because so many people enjoy smoking and they want to exercise their right to smoke. Who cares what the non smokers think? I do. The non-smokers can think what they want, they are free to not smoke everywhere, as long as I am free to smoke whereever I want. Meaning, if an establisment chooses to be smoking, then "dear non-smoker" don't go in there. Too bad, too late now! Now, we can't smoke in pubs, bars, restaurants, !!clubs!!, not even private clubs, work, company cars, staff houses,...., any longer. What do we poor smokers do. We either quit or comply. Quitting means complying, we therefore, COMPLY.
Dear Fighter, Dear Smokers,
UNITE! We need to fight this! What will happen next. No alcohol? No sex? No fast cars? No jaywalking! We need to fight this. Follow our cause and exercise your right to smoke.
I will always ask for a smoking table in a restauant!
Are there any other ways/things that we can do. Let me know.
I don't want to move to CHINA where smoking is still COOL.

Taste of London - 21-24.06.07 - Regent's Park
Dear Fighter,
I have survived it . Taste of London is over. 4 days event, 6 days including set up, 612 bottles of Laurent Perrier, 2000 Demel's Sacher cake and one ruined suit later.
The event was a true sucess even though it turned inot a mud fight on the last day. Guests were happy though and didn't mind the bad weather or the muddy carpet.
It is always a pleasure to be around some of the best chef's from London and the world.
Here are some impression from both the front and the back of the house.

AEHL - Handover InterCon - Park Lane
Dear Fighter,
today, I attended the handover of London Stamm of the Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne to the new Stammvater / council at the InterCon Park Lane.
Being an alumni and member of the council I / we were honored by the managment to generously host this event in true EHL style. Champagne, Pimms, strawberries and fingerfood.
Further, it was good to see that we were able to generate a large attendance of about 40-50 people, who all provided positive feedback to the change. We hope that we will be able to bring the stamm alive and very active again.
A big thanks again to Gary, who skillfully and pationatly led the stamm for almost 30 years. We hope that we can follow in his footsteps.
Dates to remember: (contact me for details)

...wondering about the world
Dear Fighter,
what has happened to this world. Today, i realized for the first time a TV ad on German TV for Betty TV and I lost the last faith that I had into humanity.
To summarize, Betty TV is a piece of electronic that is basically a mobile phone loaded with a gaming software on which you can play games that relate to a TV show that is shown on German TV. Basically, the presenter asks a questions and you are able to answer by clicking the right button and maybe you win. Amazing, the IT part of it, but what has happend to us. Game shows were bad enough, then came live "call in" quize shows, then a tv channel dedicated to it (9Live - that actually makes money and runs profiable) and now this.
Reality - OK, Interaktive - OK but this.... I can't put it into real words but it is annoying me that an organization can actually make money with this. I am not condemming the organizations, NO, I am condemming humanity for participating.
However, in essence, give the people what they want / ask for.

Current Update
Dear Fighter
he has chosen to use the I, as I think the "he" was quite stupid. Anyhow, one learns....
What is going on in my life. My job is still occupying about 75% of my life, i sleep about 20%, therefore, i have 5% left for my private life. However, this has been a constant since about 8 years. Why? Because I am stupid about work. ;-)
Currently working on on a project/event where the company that i work for will cater the
British Airways Executive Lounge and it's own stand with the Demel.
The Event is called Taste of London and takes place at Regent's Park in London.
I will post picturs afterwards.

Dinner @ Sketch - the lecture room
Dear Fighter,
what can he say??? What a dissapointment. The party of 5 spent £1.000 on dinner with wine @ the lecture room.
Ambience:
nice, very nice actually, nothing for everyday, but the unique combiantion of art, antiques, sparkling stones and 2nd hand furniture is an experience. the antique silver cutlery is amazing. The china used is nice, a lot of Thomas by Rosenthal. However, nothing special.
Winelist:
Extensive, very good selection, expensive (as expected), generally it is what one may expect. However, the wine water made two (out of 5) bad choices, especially the amazing madeira did not fit the dessert.
Service:
Hostess: beautiful model, nice to look at, but useless as hostess
Aperitif in Bar: it took 20 minutes for 2 champagne, 1 cosmo and 2 mochitos
Maitre d': tour through he building, well mannered, very good
Service: not smooth enough, not secure enough
Sommelier: 2 bad choice out of 5 (not good)
Food:
overpowering flavours, too many ingredients stuffed into one dish, always a blend of strong flavours, no single flavour may be singled out. pigeon meat was very good, though.
All in all a big disappointment, does not deserve the star!

Dinner @ Roka
Dear Fighter,
he's been there many times. Best Restaurant in London (Price / Value). Staff very professional, read about unfriendliness but never experienced it.
As he had many, many good experiences, this is a warning. This time he was particularly unimpressed by the speed in which the (btw: excellent) food arrived. Drinks (not even water) had arrived when already 4 dishes had been served. All dishes (about 9) were served in 20 minutes. There was no time to enjoy.
The fact that there was a leak in the roof (they were downstairs in the lounge) and it was raining on his guests, just added to the aggrevation. And thinking about it: Considering the rain, they were not even offered a free drink....
He will keep watching....

Woldingham Golf Club
Dear Fighter,
this sunday, he went to Woldingham Golf Club in search for some distraction and a better score. Distraction was a success, even a small tan got thrown into the equation. But the score? Yes, he finally scored again a +22. Considering his last attempts, that was actually not bad. You have to know, he is listed as a +18 player but has not reached that score since about 10 years.
The course was in a very good condition, but rather boring! No water! Some nice tee shots, and lots of slope! Left to right and right to left. His achilles tendon still hurts. Play it once and enjoy your score!

Dear Fighter,
who said that a charity may not be good for you. He had the pleasure of being invited to a charity party @ China White. Not only was he able to have money donated in his name for poor children, he also got to experience a club that is supposed to be very difficult to get in. The result? lower medium to medium rich men, trying to seduce english and not so english wannbe celebs and "speckbeeren" (look it up at leo: speck beeere --> see 1) while paying £8.00 for a G & T.
He has to say: the club is 100% overrated, it might have been good 3 - 5 years ago, but now, it is just a place to seperate you from your hard earned £.
All in all, all the wisdom that was to be found:
