What's New....?

Turned the game on today and got the tourist outfit from the Dubai cutscene. I never noticed or maybe just forgot the water canteen on 47s hip. I really dislike that part but the scarf thing with the shirt is super cool looking.

Oh no! :see_no_evil:

I woke up so sick this morning. The weather is changing and that always puts me down for a couple of days. It’s 5am and I am feeling miserable. I can’t get in to see the Doctor until they open at 8:30. :face_with_thermometer:

I have an ear infection. No strep and no Covid though. Fever of 103°. The antibiotics will be ready in a few hours. In the mean time I’m treating it the old world way. The worlds best chicken noodle soup and a coffee with scotch from my fav Jewish diner anywhere on earth. I have a hour before work. Maybe I’ll have 4 of those scotch coffees (-;

Feel better soon.

Did you bring in the scotch yourself or do they make ā€˜em that way / offer that as a menu item to weary morning diners?

First steps into learning German. I’ll be heading for Germany by the end of next week so might as well start now :grin:

What I was able to get into my skull
Sie mussen uns nicht sofort antworten.
Die frau tragt ein schones Kleid.
Sie wird spater kommer.

I think I know more German now than I do French :rofl:

It’s a good thing I know English since I can cheat a bit by thinking of must for mussen and later for spater :grin:

They have a full bar. Among other things they make a killer Bloody Mary and instead of just salting the rim they have a mixture of salt, pepper and oregano. I almost got that but I knew hot whisky would make my throat feel better.

Coffee with a shot of whiskey in it isn’t typically on any menu, but it’s not an unusual request at diners or casinos at 4am.

Nice and quiet place, just the way I like it :grin:

Baiting with the Gamescom did not even work. :joy:

I was living in Hamburg until 2014, if you want to know a neat bar that is not overflown with tourists, google for ā€œilohhā€.

I was there in 2011 with the German teacher and high school mates.


Ich war dort. :smiling_face:

I was at a Jewish diner in Richmond VA a couple months ago and, similarly, they had their own Bloody Mary upgrade. The rim was ā€œeverything bagelā€ flavored. It was delish.

Also, this is what I’m putting in my morning coffee these days. It’s quite nice. And I’m not even sick!

I remember the beggars in front of the cathedral at the time. I gave a coin to a lady, it was thought that I had been suckered. We visited a prehistoric museum. It was a short day to really explore the city. Looking back, I tell myself that we should have taken a walk near the Rhine. Instead, we wandered into the alleys, which allowed us to discover some charming squares and picturesque houses. Ich sollte nach Deutschland zurückkehren, um mehr zu sehen (mit Google Translate :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:).
