Well, we all misspell at times. However, I have seldom encountered such a faux pas as you are leading to.

The German name Eberhard means - "courage of a boar." One famous person with this name is Eberhard Diepgen who was the governing mayor of Germany's capital Berlin.

And you can joke away – but your imagination would serve you better.

Sincerely,

Eberhard

Only joshing with you Eberhard,it's the notoriously bad English sense of humour,something we don't share with the Germans, who have us rolling on the floor in fits of laughter.
I do hope you were not offended.

I promise,no more jokes at your expense.

No offense taken, and I apologize if my response was "over the top".

You and i both know full well that I get my share of kidding - but I suppose it may help me live-up to the image. My wife of nearly 30 years has never complained.

Next to San Francisco - I consider London as my favorite city - just don't get there enough.

You are allright,

Eberhard

No need for apologies Eberhard,you are clearly a gentlemen.
Congrats on the longevity of your marriage by the way,quite an achievement.

Love the watch,never needed the product it endorses though.
Stay lucky.

A nice selection of cars pal, especially aged 29.

Does the Atom get much use or is it mainly for track use?

Having fun and living life to the fullest is the key to longevity in my view.

All the best,
