So apart ftom screaming the room down in the Bar when Rubes scored...and apart from screaming it down even more when Patty saved the penalty oh and also apart from being accosted by a prostitute dressed in all red on the way home( Chris de Burgh would’ve blown a fuse) apart from all that my last night in Hannover was uneventful and apart from all that Man Utd are still our bitches...oh and i‘m up at 5-30 tomorrow morning...
Made it to the train ok despite being a bit weary...it’s another double decker too.Have to change at Dortmund which is another place I know nothing about apart from their football club...
Pretty much the same as Hannover really.Everyone knows about Berlin,Hamburg,Munich etc so I wanted to try somewhere a little less known,even though it’s a fair sized city.Like Dresden , its worth a visit but maybe three days rather than the five I had...the reason i‘m spending a bit more time in these places is I didn’t want to spend all my month in Germany travelling between places.I once talked to a couple in Prague who were interailling and they‘d done something like fifteen cities around Europe in twenty days which sounded like madness to me...
The game was a bit tense last night.I thought we might nick it in the end but then again Man Utd probably thought they might have won too...I was a little bit drunk when I wrote that opening paragraph in case you couldn’t tell! The bar was busy but not packed and most of the punters seemed indifferent to the football...the prostitute on the way home was funny.It was an empty street Just out of the city.She was sitting on a bench looking quite smart all in red and I thought it was a bit odd but actually thought maybe her boyfriend had gone for a slash behind the bushes(this was the same corner where the accident was the other day) but as soon as I approached she sprang into action...in time honoured fashion I made my excuses and left.
The ticket inspector on here is a German/West Indian saying „“alles gute“ in a thick Jamacian drawl...it sounds very cool.
Asking a fella why Hannover hbf is so packed all the time.He said it‘s the change over station for the country,a bit like Crewe is in the UK...so it‘s not just the shops.Although he also told me to get around the sunday trading laws Lidl had opened a shop right underneath the hbf.Crafty sods...
Next stop is Bielefeld which for all you dedicated conspiracy theorists out there apparently doesn’t exist.Our lizard overlords Just want you to think it does...like all good conspiracy theories it began as a joke put on line by someone and of course it gained traction because there’s one thing social media can’t grasp and that’s a joke...if I were to say „“well I know it’s real as i‘ve Just stayed at the station „“ „“ah that’s just a hologram to fool you“ etc...no point in arguing with them really.Christ there’s some out there who believe Australia doesn’t really exist! Almost makes flat earthers look sane.Almost...
Well as i‘m talking conspiracy theories I was asked outside Hannover hbf for a light—-Haben sie Feuer? Which I think charmingly translates as „“have you fire?“—by a fella.Got off at Dortmund and having a smoke on the platform—you can here in designated areas—for the Düsseldorf train and the same fella asked for a light.It was all a bit Truman Show...
Safely ensconced in Düsseldorf‘s Alt Stadt at the Auberge Bar.A lovely little rocky place.My first taste of Alt Bier for a year...good to see the same landlady is still ruling the roost.Continuity is good...
See you all tomorrow.
