Missed you too, Sussex.

50.000 - well, yeah, you certainly can add another figure to that in a few years, and it draws a lot of attention from outside to the forum, though I am of course thankful they give me this platform.
Attention, well, you know, this is the stuff movies are made of, people just enjoy this.
Perhaps they make a movie out of it, true to the facts, one day, that goes:
I drove a cab in Germany, in two towns, drove around American GI´s in uniform, back then, made three novels out of my experiences, which pleased another former cab-driver who drove around GI´s in uniform, an experience that had formed his view of the world to that extent that he, later on, as Foreign Minister of Germany still was very America-friendly (he would not like the books I would write now, though.)
I then dedicated my fourth cab-novel to Douglas Adams, called it “why hitch-hike, take a cab through the galaxy” and made my characters drive an interstellar cab, then translated all five hitch-hiker books of Douglas Adams, anew, into German, couldn´t get that, much better, version published, though, wrote then a sequel myself, a sixth volume, in German and translated it into English myself, sent it to his agent, Ed Victor, who turned me down, but got somehow influenced and probably coerced into officially ordering a sixth volume to be written, found Eoin Colfer to do it, whose book got spoiled by me, though, for he couldn´t use all the great and compelling ideas I had used for my sequel anymore.
I decided to go to England as a cab-driver to promote my writing, called myself Europe´s cab-driving writer, after that did the license, worked for 9 months solid, then decided to go to Switzerland next, made contact on a fan-forum with Douglas Adam´s very own half brother, got yelled at by him, did the license for Zurich, worked there for 16 months solid, got my life messed up pretty badly by a girl, and feminism, wrote another book about it.
I then tried to return to England, had the quarrel with HCO and decided to offer them world record knowledge in return for an exception and running now with that for an official attempt Guinness Book of World Records, who know me already, for I have tried it with my cab world-record before, driving a cab in three countries and writing about it.
Now I even have formed a political party, written already 50 pages program in a4 for that, though it is not officially founded and, well, perhaps someday I even get farther than Joschka Fischer himself, who knows.
In a different direction, of course, for my political views have changed quite a bit, well, I was a supporter of the EU, back then, and now I hate it, I think they are an occult sect, founded to destroy Europe´s nations and people, I am still a European and world citizen, but I believe in a world of free people and nations.
(So, as for that, I would love to see that you will keep Britain British and stop the mass migration to it, as I try to stop the mass immigration to Germany.)
So, the whole thing has evolved and it obviously not about getting an exception from HCO anymore, if they´d do it I would do another term as a cab-driver in Brighton, but it is now about this world record knowledge, a town map drawn entirely from out of my head, it is something I had figured long ago, if they don´t give in, I won´t do it, it will help me in other ways.
So it is very important to me that you know I don´t hold any hard feelings against them anymore, they did what they thought was best and I did what I thought was best.
Certainly I will not be an Uber driver, though I would love the idea of us living in an society where you don´t have to call a cab, just hitch a lift from anyone and there would be no fuss or danger in there. Yet, behind Uber there is the Big Money and I detest that. And I will not do the license in another town, though I love Worthing and Peacehaven and Hassocks, too, where I lived for a few months, too.
So, let´s look forward to next spring, where I will be sitting on the esplanade somewhere in Brighton and draw town maps from out of my head and sell them to the highest bidder.
In any way, whatever will come out of this - for me coming to England, doing the license and working there was one of the best things I ever did in my life, I will never forget this time and will never forget the British people, they will always be in my heart. Well, no one was overly friendly to me nor gave me anything for free, it was tough for me sometimes and I had a lot of trouble, but it was worth it, though I believe in a strong and sovereign Germany going it´s own way again and free itself from being dependent on Anglo-American culture, I will always be a friend to the British people.
Never an easy one of course
