Re: Any Facts that Fit the Numbers

The Anglo-Saxon King Alfred, who is the only English King to bear the epithet "the Great", is one of only two Anglo-Saxon kings whose will has survived the ravages of time. He died in 899 AD.

Re: Any Facts that Fit the Numbers

I feel compelled to use the occasion of my 70,000th post on this board to remind you of the fact that the 896 would have been up for discussion in your post. U.N. Security Council Resolution 896 discussed the possible establishment of a peace force in Abchasia - in 1994, 30 years ago. It's a grippin...

Re: On this day in history...

The first democratic German constitution was passed 175 years ago today. Yes, that long ago. It was discussed and passed in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt am Main as a result of the 1848 revolution. It died when the then Prussian King refused to take the crown out of the hands of the people instead of...

Re: Any Facts that Fit the Numbers

Kloster Plankstetten was founded 895 years ago. They still exist, and specialise in hearty, low-yield, high taste, organic Bavarian specialties. And the beer... oh my.

R.I.P. Daniel Kahnemann

Now I know shit about economics, so can judge neither his economics competence nor if his Nobel was well-deserved. But I did read his Thinking, Fast and Slow book, and found it to be extremeley convincing - the thought processes he describes (or their absence, supplanted time and again, by "heu...

Re: What sports teams do you support?

And can anyone explain to me how a Dutch footballer would get the name Denzel Dumfries? Did Holland somehow snatch him from Sotland?

And indeed, No. 2 (haha) has won. It was FC Carl Zeiss Jena against, well, SV Babelsberg 03. The scorer, forward Elias Löder, already won a proper "Goal of the Month", a technically perfect overhead kick against... well you know whom :shock: - against Hertha, even if it was only against th...

Re: Modern Scotland

I like the stiff-upper-lip way with which Wikipedia describes this abomination, "... resulting in a different nutritional and flavor profile". Different indeed. Did I mention I love Glasgow? I've been there three times only, in the 80s and the oughts, and only for a few days each, but I lo...

Only a friendly, so not for the count, but it's been a long time since it was fun to see Germany play.

Re: Last music video you watched.

Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini died yesterday, at 82. Not a front-page event, but it gives me a little jab of pain - Pollini played three Mozart concertos with the Berlin Philharmonic when I first visited a proper concert, probably around 1980. It was an overwhelming experience, and it started my ...

Re: What sports teams do you support?

Leagues are at rest due to international games - Germany up against the French and the Dutch in friendlies, just to see who's boss (the Dutch and the French are). I guess the thinking is, if we are losing to Austria and Turkey by now, we might as well do it against proper football teams, that will m...
