A Surprise on the Platz der Deutschen Einheit
Platz der Deutschen Einheit would translate roughly as "German Unification Square" and I've never seen a nice one. It tends to be where the street drinkers gather and that's just never pleasant. In Wiesbaden it's also a major bus interchange so it's constantly mobbed and one of my least favourite places here.
On the way home tonight I spotted Kapitän Bigmouth ,my very aggressive Interlocutor from about a month ago there. He wasn't getting on the bus (thank heavens), but he was - what a surprise - trying to start another fight.
Der Platz der Deutschen Einheit is never short of people who would be only too happy to oblige Kapitän Bigmouth. And I was delighted to see that he found one. And I only saw one punch before the bus drove away, but it was enough to have put Bigmouth on his arse. And I must admit to thinking "Well I hope that fight lasts a while...."
The rest of the day was a blur of work. Lots of E-Mails, telephone calls and a bizarre telephone conference with IBM. I was happy to run away at 4. Almost as happy as when I saw Bigmouth hit the ground. And if that makes me a bad person so be it.
