The jacket and the astrologist

SZP's jacket was found in his bin in front of his house. The Hungarian Foreign Minister's jacket is very expensive, it was made by a very famous Hungarian fashion house, where prices of jackets range from 300000 to 1000000 Forints.
Why did he throw this jacket into the bin? Was this jacked worn out? No, it wasn't. Then why didn't he give it to someone? Because his name was sewn in it?
The opposition said the minister should resign, because he doesn't know how people in his country live.

An unknown 19th century German astrologist's prophecy:
In the 21st century Germany will have a female chancellor, but her position won't be strong, so she will have to resign. The woman's career will depend on the refugees story. The chancellor to follow her will be a strong man.

Q & A

Do you travel a lot?

I wouldn't say so, unfortunately. I don't have much time for travel and holidays nowadays and I have small kids, which means travelling is a bit more difficult.



Do you travel in your job?

Yes, I do, not too long distances though, only within the county and to Budapest.



Is it easy to travel in H?

Yes it is, Hungary is a very small country, there are no distances. However people don't have too many possibilities.



What is the most popular means of transport?

Cars are popular, also a lot of people travel by train and bus. Flying is something that only a few people can afford.


**********************************************************

How would you describe your home?

It's a single-storey house with a big garden, with four rooms.


Are you planning to change anything about your home?

No, not yet. Maybe later we will sell it and move to a smaller house.

What are the most popular types of housing around where you live?
In Balatonfüred you can sell basically any type of home. Apartments are though  more popular with holiday makers, they don't want to spend a lot of time and effort on maintenance.




PICTURE STORIES reformulated




One day Alice had a call from her friend. Alice lives in London, her friend invited her to Rugby. Alice was happy about  the invitation, she went to the station and bought a ticket to Rugby. She went to platform 6, where people were already waiting. After that she got on the train and sat in a compartment with a young man. The train left. There was an onboard food and drinks trolley, so Alice grabbed a bite as she hadn’t had time to eat at home, she was very hungry. After her meal she and her travelmate fell asleep. Unfortunately they were sleeping when the train arrived in Rugby, the train went on because it wasn’t its destination. They were woken up by the crew after Rugby. Alice woke up and got off the train, she had to buy a new ticket back to Rugby. She had to wait for the new train. While she was waiting for the train she called her friend to tell her what had happened. In the end the two friends met in Rugby.

Helen really wanted a guitar for her birthday. The story starts on the morning of Helen’s birthday. She wanted a guitar, but her boyfriend wanted to organize a surprise party for her later that day. Helen was angry at breakfast because her boyfriend  was just smoking and reading his newspaper as if it had been any other day, he didn’t even say happy birthday.
At her workplace Helen told her colleague what had happened.
In the meantime her boyfriend called all Helen’s friends to let them know when exactly the party was to start.
In the afternoon Helen and her colleague went out to a bar for a drink, because Helen was rather sad. As a matter of fact alcohol made her even sadder. So they went out to a club to cheer up and celebrate Helen’s birthday. At midnight she finally went home to find her boyfriend sleeping with a guitar over the party ruins.

I do exercise twice a week, I do TRX and yoga, These sports help me relax. I don’t have so much spare time. If I have more, I like reading, I like Hungarian author Fejős Éva, her characters live in very interesting countries, her stories are exciting.


Absolutely no. I think family is the most important thing in my life. I think I should have better relationship with my friends, I should have more friends and I would need more time for my friends.

Well, neither of you wanted pálinka.... strange....

I told you the story how I tried to ask for Zizu's help instead of scorning her in the lesson, then we discussed the philosophy behind bringing up kids.  (I wonder if it's a superpower to be able to take off one's tights without undoing one's body.)
