    That's terrible. Is fashism/neo-Nazism big or is it unusual for something like this to happen?

    It's unusual on this scale - there are occasional neo-Nazi marches/demonstrations but they normally involve a small group of slightly shamefaced-looking skinheads with banners. There's also normally a mini-demo at the Oktoberfest but the demonstrators are quickly bundled out and arrested.

    It's Reunification Day, is probably why it's so large. I'm thoroughly disgusted.

    :mad: I have constant rage at our tiny tiny fridge and its freezer compartment; basically impossible to have more than 4 or 5 days' worth of food in there, can never freeze left-overs, etc. I consider where to put a big fridge-freezer, daily!
    Funnily enough Glam, one of the few MSE things I do is make my own yorkshire pudding, and my own spicy potato wedges or diced etc. Otherwise I am very sinful shopper and our monthly is easily £350+ (with no cigarettes).

    I am still keeping up with the thread but been hectically busy this week and under a lot of pressure and just rarely got round to posting! But I am here!
