I found a wolf
Another find for my “car plates can make words in Germany” collection.
German licence plates are organised like this: the first letters (1 or 2 but not more than 3) indicate the town where the care is registered. Then there are another two letters (sometimes one but this is rare) and a number, usually four digits. Until a 20 years ago or so you just took the letters and numbers you were allocated but nowadays you can pick the letters and numbers for a small fee (something like 10 Euro). The only requirements are that no other plate has the same combination and a few letters and number combinations are forebodden because they have a meaning connected with national socialism).

Thou and I
are too wise to woo peaceably.
Words by William Shakespeare (from Much Ado about Nothing). If we can’t woo peaceably, we might just stick to courtship in a non-pedestrian way. The peugeot is registered in Worms.

No Hands Without It
It’s become normal to see people walking, talking, strolling, alone and together, and looking on their mobile phones. Give them the benefit of the doubt – they might be looking at a map or taking photos – but I suspect they are usually texting or … Continue reading No Hands Without It
Scree Is Nothing More than Rubble
Remember Barney Rubble, the neighbour and friend of Fred Flintstone? Then you might also remember his adopted son, Bamm-Bamm.
I immediately thought of him when I saw this car license plate from BAmberg (only one M in the original plate, though). And I thought of this license plate when I saw the prompt for today (yesterday, to be honest).
The Little Brother of Being Grateful
2 – 4 – 6 – 8 Who do we appreciate? Those who drive slowly. Those who mind children. Those who don’t hog the road and let tractors past (particularly those belonging to winegrowers). I don’t know what he is appreciative about – having a … Continue reading The Little Brother of Being Grateful
