Bollocks
Reading about the Bollocks Court Case (24/11/1977) I found this quotation from Reverend James Kingsley, professor of English studies at Nottingham University, giving evidence as a witness about the meaning of the word “bollocks” appearing in the album title of The Sex Pistols‘ only official album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols: “The word has been used as a nickname for clergymen. Clergymen are known to talk a good deal of rubbish and…

Autopia
As my swedish cruiser needed its next service at 80.000 km on the odometer, ten days ago I decided to arrange a time and date by using the mailform at the website of the best-known and biggest Volvo dealer in Luxembourg. The first time I’ve heard of this possibility to schedule a service at their garage was sometime back in 2006 on a bill. At that time I thought that it would be easier to…
