When they met on the Hannover Fair in 1997, to be precise. I read through a 'gaffes' list om F.A.Z., and really it wasn't funny at all.

Sixty years ago yesterday: Beginning of the trial od Adolf Eichmann im Tel Aviv, after a spectacular kidnapping operatiom by Mossad. The person revealed in this trial made Hannah Arendt invent the term "banality of evil". Sixty years ago today: First crewed once-around of the Earth, with M...

Must-win not won.

Hertha BSC 2 - 2 Borussia Mönchengladbach

Mainz also won, so we are now one above the relegation playoff spot, on goal difference. Next week is crunch time, away to Mainz.

Played 156, won 76, drawn 33, lost 47

473, striving for excellence and customer satisfaction since 13,710,000,000 B.C.

That is true of many numbers, notably 476. But 476 AD was the year in which the last West Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus was dethroned (not killed, btw. Going wioth a whimper, not with a bang). Many people (but not my father, see above) see this year as the end of antiquity.

490 must be 7x7x7, right?

Greuthet vs. Sandhausen called off due to You Know What.

Hertha at home to Mönchengladbach in a must-win, since Bielefeld won yesterday.

Fancy pants that never fit me.

He must finally have insulted every country in the world. The one for Germany was calling Helmut Kohl Herr Reichskanzler. Phil speaking perfect German, of course. One for Scotland I read was asking a driving instructor in Oban how he managed to keep everyone off the booze for long enough to pass th...

512 got sumpin to do with 'puters, right. Right?

514, proud neighbour to one of the finest non-prime numbers known to mankind.

528 I'm one late, but I think it bears mentioning that 529 AD was the year in which the first monastery was founded by St. Benedict of Nursia at Monte Cassino and in which the teaching of philosophy at the Academy of Athens ended under Emperor Justinian. My late father liked to say that for him, 529...

FC Union Berlin 1 - 1 Hertha BSC Probably more than we could hope for away to an EL qualification hopeful... "Alte" is just the German word for "old" (female ending), btw.. So "Old Forrest Ranger's Office" it is. It is one of those names that came about during the rapid...

Hey!

FC Heidenheim 0 - 1 SpVgg Greuther Fürth

Played 151, won 74, drawn 30, lost 47.

Greuther goalless at the half away to Heidenheim, the City That Never Sleeps.

Berlin Derby tomorrow night at 6. Union are MUCH better than we are at the moment, but we won the first encounter this season.

577 would be a BIG freaking plane if the leading number were 7 instead of five.

579 sounds un-primey, but I can't be arsed to check.

Huzzah for Germany! Yeah, totally! Germany 1 - 2 North Macedonia in a World Cup qualifier. It's not only hugely embarrassing, it's also kind of momentous: In all of the Universe's 6000 year history, Germany have now lost only three World Cup qualifiers: One against the DDDs in 1985, and one in 2001...
