Stretch limos look really stupid IMHO. Totally wrong proportions, just long for the sake of it.

As the subject line states, from September 14th

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00230sd For many years his time in Berlin between 1976 and 1978 has been mythologised and romanticised by writers, filmmakers, critics and by Bowie himself. There’s no footage of Bowie in Berlin and very few photographs. But now documentary filmmaker Francis Whatel...

You're quite right, I have always declared my very modest wins from the Premium Bonds down the years. Only have a few these days, hardly worth it TBH. And they are not at all like the Lotto here in D-Land, for the reasons you cite, and also because they are in the UK.

‘It enriches your mind in every way’: the fight to keep the UK learning German

I sympathise, I thought the whole point of collapsible bikes were they could be transported as a "bag" rather than requiring a Fahrradkarte as such. Maybe you just were unlucky to get a pernickety controller.

If it were possible to award a PhD for in-depth knowledge about this subject, you would surely deserve one, Phil!

That’s really frustrating, not being able to vote because of institutional incompetence… I’m probably going to watch the C4 election night special with Rory Stewart & Alistair Campbell. Other guests include (ahem) Boris Johnson megafan Nadine Dorries :lol: Don’t know how long I will last but hop...

Big celebrations in Neukölln...

WTF, 2:1? Unbelievable!

There was a lively atmosphere at BRLO beer garden next to Gleisdreieck for DE-DK. It's a good place to watch the football but fills up really quickly, you need to get there significantly early to secure the chance of bagging a table, especially as at one point they shut the gates and stop letting fo...

Any WTF predictions for England vs Slovakia this evening?

I'm waiting for my plant....

Sounds like it's BBQ time round your place (if the rain stops!)

I'm definitely in the system (I diligently renew my right to vote annually) and the bristol.gov.uk website states that postal ballots will be sent out by first class post on June 17th (next Wednesday). :arrow: (should have said next Tuesday) Pretty efficient, the ballot arrived this morning, a day ...

Still waiting for mine...

As I recall, it comes with an international reply-paid envelope, but as this is probably the slowest route it's wise to pay to be sure it will get there on time (Einschreiben).

There is also Das Gift in Neukölln which used to be Scottish owned (Barry Burns, keyboard player in Mogwai), but is still a decent choice for the football. Albeit not really close to Wedding.

The Berliner suggests the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg although that might not be what you fancy. Personally I like Prater for the football, but four years ago we turned up too late and they were not letting people in as it was already too full. https://www.the-berliner.com/berlin/where-to-watc...

I guess it's still too early for anyone to have received their postal ballot? :geek: I'm definitely in the system (I diligently renew my right to vote annually) and the bristol.gov.uk website states that postal ballots will be sent out by first class post on June 17th (next Wednesday). :arrow: Sligh...
