Much needed change of cultures

Leaving the suffocating prosperity of Germany with its by-products - anxious minds, silly trend sports, financial mayhem caused  by banksters on taxpayers expense, wage dumping, SUV's cleaned every saturday at 2 o'clock, latte-macchiato-mothers, self-proclaimed experts, class divided health insurance, cardiovascular diseases, arms deals with villains, prizes and awards for who knows what - to mention a few, for Peru. A country, that is probably  stone last in many categories and never won a sports medal. Guess, that makes  it so appealing to me. And thanks to Ladbrokes for sponsoring the airfare.

That bloke here is Christian von Boetticher (CDU)...

after a confessed relationship with an 16 - year old schoolgirl , forcing him to step down. Chris is another lawyer-turned-politician and a member of the student association "Landsmannschaft Slesvico - Holsatia v. m. L! Cheruscia zu Kiel " ( ürgs ) and after having checked his biografy i would assume he never spent a day in his life doing proper work. That seems to be a major qualification nowadays for higher assignments and i am afraid German politics is littered with shady characters like him. Sad and sickening.

Women Football World-Championships 2011

Some of the games were the most exiting sport i have seen lately and you got to love the superb japanese team. And for all the men, who are still moaning and groaning about ladies football i want to quote Benjamin Franklin "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do."

Deutsches Derby 2.

My selection looked a lot better, than he eventually ran.

Deutsches Derby in Hamburg

With the now confirmed entry of BROWN PANTHER i cannot resist a punt. Brown Panther is owned by football great Michael Owen ( lucky bastard ) and trained by the shrewd Tom Dascombe, who wouldn't bring the horse over the channel without having a lively chance of winning methinks. He is in fine fettle after a recent Ascot win ( see picture ) and also a son of a former Derby winner, so i expect a good run for my money.

Medal for Merkel (" IM Erika " )

The news, that the otherwise respected Mr. Obama handed over the Medal Of Freedom to chancellora Merkel left me flabbergasted. In my opinion her biography does not vindicate that. She is mostly clueless, starts nearly every sentence with the words "I believe...". She is hesitant and made maybe one decision while in office - no money for Greece. The cheque was in the mail three days later. Under her regime the perils of capitalism are alive and well. She is opportunistic and her biggest strength is probably her knowledge, how to remove people, who could jeopardize her position. But then again prizes and awards are like hemorrhoids - at some point every ass gets them.

Champions League Real Madrid - FC Barcelona

Real Madrid most impressive of late. They won the Copa Del Rey against Barca and followed up trouncing Valencia in fine style. Sill the bookies see them as outsiders at Bernabeu (!) and odds of 2.70 with Paddy Power can not be denied. Real Madrid to win.***0:2 What a stinker of a game and watching this horse race gave me much more pleasure , than that bunch of jackasses playing ball.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase

My old fav Kauto Star with 11 years now probably too old to win at the highest level finnished third. But this race showed the whole beauty of the sport. No trashtalking idiots nor ridiculous
referee decisions. Just nice fellows in the saddle and their beasts.

15.01.2011 King George VI Chase

Steeplechase legend Kauto Star (FR) tries to win this race for the fifth time and if he puts up a clean round of jumping is nearly impossible to beat. Odds of 4/5 are on the short side, but this bet will certainly not pass me.***3rd

A stroll through a snowy forest

Fresh air and fun.

Tony Furtado

Surprisingly banjo & guitar ace Tony
Furtado showed up in Hamburg to
play a great concert. I had the pleasure
of meeting him back in the 90's, when
i travelled through the U.S. studying
Bluegrass banjo.
