At this rate, it will take longer to do the last 1,000 than it took to go the previous 100,000.

We can't let go of this wonderful game, that's all. Think of the final slow triumphant steps the Ironman Champion makes across the finish line.

7 x 1 = 7

Admiral - my best wishes.

I couldn't believe my eyes, to be honest. "Hertha diddn't play like a relegation candidate, and Bayer didn't play like a CL candidate" was the sober summary in my favourite newspapaper. World Cup qualifiers next, then it's off to the East for the Union derby on the Easter weekend.

Yup, three nil.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2 - 2 1. FC Nürnberg Avoided a derby defeat by a late equalizer. Good for in-law relations, bad for the table and the count. Hertha currently one up at home against Leverkusen. We must win this in order to avoid finding ourselves in a relegation spot. The competition scored unex...

And I find it extremely interesting that the opportunity was given away by an aviation enthusiast, of all people.

747. How very queer, I can't think of anything for that one. You must be joking, 747 being the year Pippin the Younger became housemaster of the Holy Roman Empire anf one of three reported birth years of Charlemagne. 744 isn't bad either. Pippin the Elder thwarted an uprising in Alsace led by Theud...

May the pivo be with you.

Well, that’s as maybe, but in 761 Aongus son of Fergus, king of the Picts, dies (Mors Oengusa m. Fherghussa regis Pictorum). That's innteresting! I have doubts, however. The authoritative website lists four Solar eclipses for 763, one annular on the Southern hemispherre, and three partial ones on t...

Wow. This is almost stuff for the A Life Well Lived thread. Too many people think that, given the choice, in the same circumstances, they, of course have chosen the right course of action, how dare you doubt it. Germany was full of people who resisted the Nazis after '45, positive choke full of them.

768 was also the telephone number under which my entire former hospital could be reached.

But, obviously...

Apparently, there are 773 asteroids with a diameter of 50 km or larger, but I found it on Google, so caveat emptor.

Heid the Ba wrote:Barry Shitpeas and his Magic Hat what was the keeper doing for the first one?

He wasn't too much awake on the second goal either. But you have to give it to him he produced two magnificent saves blocking 100-percenters during the game, so I guess going down two nil is about right.

Oh didn't we...

BV Borussia Dortmund 09 2 - 0 Hertha BSC

Played 140, won 70, drawn 28, lost 42

Greuther postponed to Wdnesday because the others had a Covid outbreak. Hertha away to Dortmund tonight, expecting a thrashing. It's a dangerous combination: Dortmund have been playing inconsistently, even badly those past few weeks, losing sight of CL qualification. The ideal moment for Hertha to c...

Huzzah indeed!

Not to spoil a party, but maybe we shouldn't have failed to mention the Great Tohoku Earthquake of 11 Mar 2011.

Kepler 782b, a Neptune-sized planet in a 160-day orbit around a sun-like star, 1400 light-years away.

Uh-oh, Slavia already one up after, what, 10 min? Lucly shirt to the rescue.

If something is 08/15 (Nullachtfünfzehn) in German, that means it's utterly mediocre, not well made, nothing special. My personal phone at my new workplace has the extension no. 1508. Close shave. As discussed elsewhere, the 1915 variant of the Maschinengewehr 1908 which was ubiquitous late in the ...
