@IIHFHockey Great matches today in Switzerland! For Basel though, may I suggest turning the flags around so they aren't reversed 😇 i.e. the flags from Slovakia, Czechia and the USA.
Thanks to UTC, we get some extra seconds, the last currently having been in at 23:59:60 on January 31, 2016. Retrospectively, I may have celebrated the start of 2017 a second too early... #RegularFunFact

#grammartime! The plural of octopus is octopi (but what to call an 8-sided pie?!), platypus in plural can be platypodes. So, at least gramatically, anus is closer to octopus because it can be ani (although anuses is more commonly used). #RegularFunFact
@postschweiz Ihre Bestätigungs-SMS kommen weder bei meinem Freund noch mir an, egal ob ich direkt die Nummer oder mit Vorwahl (+41 oder 0041) eingebe. Irgendwelche Tipps?
@GeorgePointon_ My boyfriend came up with the following joke recently (and he's 32!):
