German in England, loves travel, books, history and cricket. ‘If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs, and blaming it on you…’

Ich lasse heute den Papst Benedikt XVI. sprechen.

Das Wort zum Sonntag ist womöglich aktueller denn je.

@drumheadberlin Sex wird vergesellschaftet? Du liebe Zeit!

@ClarkeMicah @WalkerMarcus Absolutely! And while von der Leyen doesn’t stop talking about Ukraine (which isn’t in the EU), she doesn’t say Brussels should impose sanctions on Ankara for illegally occupying 40% of an EU member’s territory.

@WalkerMarcus I’m so glad I saw it in 2014.

@Selerenca @ClarkeMicah Ever since I found out that we lost the war despite fiddling with the clocks, I’ve been in favour of natural time all year round.
What a mess the Kaiser created!

@Steve_Laws_ Perhaps you should actually visit the continent - you might find quite a few castles that could rival any English one. A visit to Germany would be quite enough.

@ClarkeMicah @adriant91901209 Article 5 merely states that if one member is attacked, each other member "will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary" - this can be e.g. armed response or a protest note.

Wenn die Leistungen der Gastarbeiter von Politikern gewürdigt werden, dann geht es immer ausschließlich um türkische Gastarbeiter, nie um italienische, spanische, portugiesische oder Gastarbeiter aus Ex-Jugoslawien. Warum ist das so?

@hoyer_kat Wunderbar

@ClarkeMicah @DailyMail Well, quite, @ClarkeMicah - good coffee is hard to come by outside one’s home.
I prefer it as described by a Turkish governor in the Balkans in the 18th century:
Black as the eyes of a beautiful slave girl, bitter as the wrath of the sultan, and hot as the pleasures of paradise.

@EduardHabsburg Much more interesting in my opinion that a Habsburg was Emperor of Mexico.
Yes, I know, it ended badly at Querétaro - but still...
