Last night Torpedo Entenhausen took on the Bochum Ultras. These are the hardcore fans of VfL Bochum, and I thought that they would be a bunch of violent thugs. It turned out that they were very well behaved. They told the ref not to give them a corner he was going to award, and left their dressing room in perfect condition. The only slightly annoying thing they did was to take the three points with them.
We played the cunning trick of starting with 10 men and bringing on the 11th after 15 minutes, and at times we played some good football. I scored a header direct from a corner; the ball flew into the net and the keeper didn't even bother to dive for it. Somehow we conceded 6 lucky goals and lost by the even 2 goals in 10.
Today we had a meeting at work. The only topic of discussion which generated any debate was the plans for the car park. It is possible to spend lots of money on new electronics without anyone disagreeing or asking questions, but any discussion of parking places causes uproar. The car park for our institute is going to be flattened (don't ask) to build a new building. I made no friends by suggesting that a brisk walk across campus from the other car park wouldn't do anyone any harm. I was tempted to say that this development may delay the point at which the number of chins in the department double the number of employees, but I refrained.
