Europe was still massively overrepresented at the World Cup at the time, mind. But that doesn't alter your point that qualification was tougher than now.

The Germans having a normal one again, I see

Whereas this is sadly not a parody 😬

Did the post-war Germans try to "both sides" what happened in WW2?

It's 12 months until it becomes a year.

Europeans love a bit of heroic failure. Americans absolutely hate it. This is fine.

I'm currently sat at the table on the back right. This feels scarily close to actually taking one of CT's recommendations

This New Zealand local election has the perfect candidate. I'd vote for him. https://voteauckland.co.nz/en/information-for-voters/candidates/waitakere-ranges-local-board/GDEMW.html

That is brand new information!

It's been bugging me for ages what Dan Burn's smile-grimace makes me think of, but I've finally worked it out - it's the end of this 'glory days of the internet' classic: You're welcome.

The Lord had the right idea.

This is the question really. Around here it was a Labour-Tory marginal last time so I voted Labour to get rid of the Tory. Next time it's probably going to go Reform anyway so I might as well vote for something closer to what I actually believe in. I feel sorry for the new Labour MP here as he's done nothing wrong so far - he showed up to our local library that's at threat of closure, he gave me a copy-pasted but considered response when I contacted him about the AI theft laws, and so on - but when you think about what else your vote is enabling, it becomes harder to hold your nose and vote for it anyway.

Aye, nothing against Leverkusen but I wouldn't bother staying there when there's proper big cities nearby. The German train system has a habit of collapsing at regular intervals so that's the one argument in favour of staying somewhere closer, but otherwise I'd go with Düsseldorf or Cologne, the latter being what we did last time too. Worked well, other than the Cologne speciality being inexplicably small beers.

I must leap to Frankfurt's defence here. It's fine.
