Of course. Even in liberal Germany sex on the street is frowned upon and you would usually have to pay a fine.

It's neat that there is a city in Mexico called 'Moor killer'.

Probably from Spanish patron saint, St. James Moorkiller.

Also, relay to your friend that for the same cost of delivery (and probably less), you can arrive at their location, and sample multiple products. Even better, you can arrive at a location other than Germany that is better known for quality and at a lower price point.

Interesting, I never realised this:

People working with sensitive information are commonly required to sign a statement to the effect that they agree to abide by the restrictions of the Official Secrets Act. This is popularly referred to as "signing the Official Secrets Act". Signing this has no effect on which actions are legal, as the act is a law, not a contract, and individuals are bound by it whether or not they have signed it. Signing it is intended more as a reminder to the person that they are under such obligations. To this end, it is common to sign this statement both before and after a period of employment that involves access to secrets (e.g. MI5/MI6).

The Irish Naval Service has taken delivery of a £41m Samuel Beckett-class offshore patrol vessel (OPV) from Babcock's north Devon-based Appledore Shipbuilders.

It is the first of two patrol vessels ordered by the Irish Navy as part of a £81m deal signed in October 2010, with the second, dubbed James Joyce, still under construction.

I love the fact the Irish Navy names its vessels after famously drunken authors
