I will be glad when today is over, I am being tormented by teenagers creeping round my house thinking they are commandos ringing my door bell and running. There is a notice on my door saying cctv recording 24hrs. I have it all on camera so I posted a warning on the village Facebook page saying I have footage. Someone thinks it is funny so I asked her why she thinks it is funny her reply was get a life kids have always played chap door run. I have been restrained and not said what I wanted to

So sorry to hear this and I can’t believe people still do it. Back when I was a kid in the states it was called “ding dong digit”. I never did it and it didn’t happen in our neighborhood.
Glad you posted on FB. Hope they are done. Sending support. Hugs xxx

That can be quite frightening. When I was young lived in flats and some kids played it but it was called knock down ginger. Can’t think why. But same kids would jump off first floor balconies so questionable brain function.
Some parents just don’t seem to care. Kids round here on way home from school keep kicking the big pebbles from neighbours garden into the road. If a car kicks up one of them it could kill someone but they won’t stop.

Glad you’re ok, Jo.
No wonder kids today think they can get away with anything when the people laughing at my post are all adults

All right everyone…I hate to be left out so have decided to join the G& T brigade. It’s the only alcohol I have in:rofl:. Hendrick’s - the good stuff is courtesy of my friends partner. He passed 2 days before my husband. He loved him and she kindly let me choose one of the bottles. So raising a glass to you all.

That’s horrible. I’d be terrified. We called it Knock Down Ginger when I was a kid, but we only did it a couple of times. And if my mum had found out, I’d have had a right tanning.

Guten Abend Pudding.
You are right, the equivalent of Bon appetite is eet smakelijk, (I did look up the spelling.)
- enjoy your meal
German: guten appetit
French: bon appétit
Dutch: eet smakelijk
The German language has many words that come from French.
I just looked it up. There are lot more than I thought, more than 2300 words.
My brother was the linguist. His Latin was much better than my Latin. I hated it. He tried Russian but gave it up.
He translated mainly technical manuals from English into German. He loved it. (Not my thing.) My thing was programming computers.
I did write a complete new sales system. It was much easier to use and it took a lot less time to handle an order. The sales person did not even need to know much about a product. I loved that project.
My biggest project was the the millennium bug. Had to change (fix) more than 1200 programs in less than six months. (They even interrupted me many times.) - I wrote some programs to change the programs for me. It was risky but it worked. There where only about 10 programs that I had to fix in the end.
I would not like to do it again, well, I don’t have to.
Take care Sandra.
Nick
