The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
This weekend I visited CW, who has been working away in Eastern Germany for the last couple of weeks, in Erfurt. Erfurt is a beautiful town, clean and modern looking with enough oldie-worldy German goodness that it has that “wow” factor when you wander around. It is clearly quite a touristy place, indicated by the [...]

So, as I appear to be in a reminiscing frame of mind at the moment, I thought I would share a story about a pursuit of lust love. This pursuit would lead to my joining a uniformed organisation and would ultimately lead to a shooting incident where a number of people could have lost their [...]

That’s right ladles and jellyspoons, The Laughing Wolf is continuing his trend of refusing to live more than a couple of years in one place..and is moving across Frankfurt to a beautiful apartment that has just been finished.

Nope, not a Die Hard related post, not even a Bruce Willis related one…but simply and tenuously related to Alan Rickmans classic quote “Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr Cowboy?” In a time where the English postal service is voting on yet another strike, my postcard (and letter from the [...]

Photo by ShellyS…it all comes to an end. No, no, this is not a maudlin post about breaking up or getting some sort of terminal disease. I am referring, of course, to my removal from the unemployed masses and placement directly outside them again. I have indeed gone and gotten myself gainfully employed again. I [...]

It has been an interesting couple of months in the life of the Laughing Wolf. I have been trying to get used to being out of work, and have only recently managed to not get up at 06:30 every morning. I have also just this past week or so, managed to not refer to any [...]
