Yes, use the UK one to go in/out of the uk but use your German one or Ausweis at the German border. I don’t know if the egates still accept the Ausweis or not? Tbh in HH it’s always been quicker for me to go straight to a counter on arrival. I was straight thru on my return last month.

My intention is to only use my uk one when I’m going there. I can use my Ausweis when I go thru/enter security on this side.

Well, it isn’t so far to the border. When I went to Flensburg I cycled to Denmark just because I could 😅 I had a daytrip up there last summer to, on the west side.

I can do Lübeck in a daytrip, but I’d need an overnighter to visit Timmendorfer too probably.

I’ve been to Fehmarn! Really lovely wee place. I’ve not been back that way apart from going to Lübeck. I want to visit Plön too at some point.

I couldn’t believe about that when I learned just 2-3 years ago too! No complaints here about my Ausländerbehörde and the
Einbürgerungsbehörde at least 😅 just the Riesterrente I’ve had issues with.

I wasn’t too impressed with Kiel, but I adored Flensburg! Lübeck is just gorgeous, absolut !!Wow!! factor! Not been to Heiligenhafen, is that also on the east coast? I’m on the west side. Generally I’ve been happy with the governance but I still wouldn’t vote CDU!

It’s where I live and I wholeheartedly agree! Surprising when it’s run mostly by the CDU 🙈 although Kiel is run by the greens!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! I’m on year 6… it’s frightening how quickly the time goes! I too suffered from a bit of a culture shock in the first months or so. Especially when I knew so little about it before meeting the husband.
December 8, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Yeah, I realise that you probably would. Always feel I’ve got to correct mistakes though 🙈

Worse! More like AON… really right wing fringe media.

I love them! Afaik they’re not available in the uk except in some odd shops.

Because they’re the tastiest?!

I always used to see Stevie at gigs when I lived in Scotland. Never ran into Stuart anywhere!! I wish the band (& especially Stuart) would get their arses over here. It was lovely to regularly interact with him on the Bad Place.

That makes me want to rewatch it! I love KS‘s films. Dogma is a work of utter genius!

Tell me what film Trump last watched, without telling me what film Trump last watched 🤦‍♀️
