ein paar Faustregeln

- aus einem Pint werden gerne mal drei
- wenn man hier den Leuten sagt, dass man Elektrotechnik studiert bekommt man "oh, das aber schwer oder" zu hören
- deutsche Diplom mit 5 Jahren finden die in der Regel komisch, und man wird sconma gefragt warum wir nicht Master machen/haben

food delivery

Today arrived my first food delivery ordered at tesco. Some may think now, thats really sophisticated or ever weird. But let me explain.
First off all, tapped water in the UK is chlorinated; I mean really chlorinated, you can tast it and smell it. Secondly, ther aren't really good shopping facilities in Dunkirk, well there is a Spar market, but it's very small and expensive. So I have bougth my stuff mainly in Beeston at Sainsburrys and took the bus back home. Anyhow it's quite complicated with two heavy bags full of canned food and water. Furthermore it's always about £1.40 for the bus.
Consequently: food order. However, not at Sainsburry as the don't accept my english debit card. But Tesco does.
So how does it work.
1. You create your online basket (some items are limited in numbers, e.g. Water)
2. Choose a delivery sloot (2h at Tesco, 1h at Sainsburys)
prises varies trough the day at Tesco, Sainsburys has fixed prices at £5 but you muast order two days in advanced. Tesco only one!
3. Bank detail, and thats all.

So I got my delivery slot today 25th 1-3pm (£4.75). The driver arrived at about 1.30pm.
Was a lot to carry upstairs, as you can see.

Delivery comes into return boxes, so I had to put all the things on the floor first.
Oh yeah, was about £75 altogether.
One thing to mention, they don't have always all the things you order, so they pack equal things and you can decide wether you take these ore not.
I should get 8 bottles of Tesco diet coke instead od Tesco coke. The normal one is good, but diet... it' diet. However, I took two. It's not that bad.
And here you can see my personal fod storage facility. I think next order will be in 1-1.5 month, I only have to by fresh things until then. And I won't die with thirst.

20/10/07: Oxford

Today we visited Oxford, where I stupidly missed to see the placer wherer Harry Potter was filmed. I mean the scenes in the Great Hall. Whatever....
So we started early - I mean we shoud have...
Bus trip took longer than expected and we had a break, but luckily the coaches were brand new.
As we had arrived we got town plans and an information sheet. Oxford is really compact.
Old buildings, colleges spread all over the town, a bit like Camebridge.

[ja, hier wärs zu Harry Potter gegangen]







We ate in a Pub he traditional fish 'n' chips, was very good, and also 20% student discount on the pints. ;)
At the end we saw a church which could be visited, as there was a queue, only one and a half hour left to the "expected" departure and I also wanted to by some gift for one of my flatmates whose birthday was tomorrom, and I also wanted to write some postcards... well...our group split up - in the guys, who saw the harry potter thing, and me.
Departure was, .., delayed.
Here you can see one of the two busses.






[it was better in real]

After the trip we went to the Mooch to see England loose the 2007 Rugby World Cup againt South Afrika. Later on there was a smal figth, also close to us. Finally the two guys flew over the couch of our group where the other two guys from Brunswik were sitting. But none of us got hurt, everybody could go away before. And also the two guys didn't hurt each other. Then a few bouncers occured.. one left instantly..the other (probably more drunken) guy needed a bit ime to put all his things togehter and then needed some guidance to leave.

It was a very nice day.
(I probably missed some detail, but I don't care.)
