The owner of Abseits Rock bar has posted on FaceBook that the bar looks in tact from the outside at least. He is not allowed back in yet though. The explosion was so strong, that there were fires in the area.

Help metal heads of Munich, Germany, by taking time out of your forum posting, to pray to Odin, for Abseits, and post your comments of well wishings and support here, that everything will be sorted out by Friday night. Read more...

No. I live in Germany. :)

Cloud I have an expensive emergency to sort, about my apartment, located in Dublin. Silver lining I now have an excuse to fly to Dublin. As well as dealing with the emergency, I can visit some of my favourite haunts in Dublin, while I am there.

It is much colder than it has been all August, here in Munich, Germany. Winter clothes are already appearing in the shops. :smile:

You could make carrot jam. It tastes surprisingly good. There are receipes on the internet for it, so just Google. I first discovered it, when I went to Iran. It is very popular there. Mel

I'm baking some yellow and green peppers, stuffed with rice. I will make a beer and cheese sauce to server with them. :yum:

My father used to have a vile concoction every morning, because he claimed it is healthy. It is suitable for a camping trip, because you dont need to cook it. You put a raw egg in a cup, with a few splashes of milk. The trick to consuming it is to swallow the lot without breaking the egg yolk...

''Every cloud has a silver lining, but you'll only see the silver shining, when you move your butt and stop whining! '' I love this quote, which somebody posted on this same discussion, which I also put also on another site. :)

What have your clouds and silver linings been? :smile:

I saw hedgehogs in my garden last night. :smile:

Deep fry a selection of veggies in batter, and make a dip to go with them. I usually make sweet and sour dip. You can make it by cooking sugar with vinegar. :smile:
