  • So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I’d have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn’t own either since you don’t need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: ‘Of course that’s an official ID, you gobshite…’. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.



  • Nachdem ich im Juni das erste Kapitel von Tell me why umsonst und die restlichen Kapitel stark reduziert kaufen konnte (Pride Month Aktion) und sehr angetan davon war, spiele ich nun Twin mirror vom gleichen Studio. Bisher gefällt es mir sehr gut.

    Stark reduziert ist aktuell auch ein sehr altes Science Fiction Spiel aus den frühen 90ern auf GOG namens Planet’s edge, welches ich mir aus reiner Nostalgie gekauft habe.

    Auf meinem Bücherstapel liegen gerade Stranger than fiction von Chuck Palahniuk, The last Yakuza von Jake Adelstein, Spaceship Titanic von Douglas Adams und One last thing von Eoin Colfer (der letzte Teil von Douglas Adam’s The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy-Reihe).
