Incidentally Hummer is also the German word for lobster. Not quite the same crustacean but close.

Haha sorry about that! To be fair, I wanted to work on that for a while because we were supposed to start exporting to France and UK this year, but the globald pandemic destroyed all of my plans (many of my customers went out of business, bars closed etc) and so I didn’t see the need for an english language site any…

It’s called The EARL Spirit, it’s an Earl Grey based tea spirit. Very unique. If your colleague David Tracy hits me up while he’s in Germany, I’ll send him a bottle or two that he can bring back to the US of A.

That’s nothing compared to being but a filthy non-english speaking foreigner, bored to death at his first job out of college at a faceless firm, spending the best hours of the best days of your life in a faceless office tower in a drab city in Germany that is best known for it’s airport, pushing around numbers all day…

It does look like the Chateau de Versailles on wheels. Probably drives like it too.

Genuinely interested: Is he a known coke-head?

Red Flag in your garage? A Hongqi of course!

That “project car” you bought in 2013 in order “to restore it to full glory” but has been sitting there ever since, because actually restoring a car is like 99% hard work (not to mention a money drain) and like 1% the romantic fantasy you thought it would be.

Munich is a nice city. It sure as hell is not a cool city.

I don’t know where you’re from, but there are much better and cheaper options than Moet such as Nicolas Feuillate, Pommery, Piper Heidesieck, Lanson etc. There are also tons of small vineries from the Champagne region without big brand power that make wonderful, moderately priced champagne. I don’t know about the…

Martini & Rossi would be Prosecco and not Champagne though, apart from the heritage there are big, big differences taste wise. Different raisins etc.

That’s gorgeous, but no surprise: The French have some of the finest animation schools in the world and comic culture runs very deep in their country.
