Oh, no, I said it was possible to tire of the Beatles. The Beatles Bible was not mentioned.
Anyway, I’m not going anywhere.
What will you do the the Beatles Bible then if you are tired of the Beatles?

The German for stage fright is ‘Lampenfieber’- lamp fever 😀

Not really.
OK so what I really learned today is that Donald Trump’s German family name was Drumpf. It was changed shortly after his family immigrated to the US.
Apparently HBO’s John Oliver discovered this and put together a campaign called…
I discovered all of this after seeing an article about a local brewery here in Philadelphia (Dock Street Brewery) which is launching a line of anti-Trump beer with the slogan “Friends Don’t Let Friends Vote Drumpf”.
The first in this new line of beers will be the “Short-Fingered Stout”. It is described as “a bitter and delusional stout with an airy, light-colored head atop a so-so body”.
Another reason to love beer!

I kept on reading that first as “brasserie” I was very confused.
Now I get it:
A-ha!
The French for brassiere is ‘soutien-gorge’ i.e. ‘support throat’…..yes I don’t understand it either*.
While in German it’s a Buestenhalter- a ‘bust retainer’.
A bust retainer is a much better word than a support throat so it’s why German wins.
Interesting fact: The contraceptive pill in German is called the ‘Antibabypille’- the meaning is pretty clear.
I for one think it’s hilarious, you don’t get these no-bullshiting words in English, German gets straight to the point about what something is.
And that’s why German is a much better language than French.
Los geht’s Deutschland!
*Edit: Okay I found out why it is. In old French the ‘gorge’ was considered both the throat and the breast (that’s stupid but then again Irish has no differentiating word between “arm” and “hand” and “leg” and “foot”, so I don’t think I should be saying a language is stupid).
If you read Voltaire in his original tongue, he would ‘gorge’ instead of ‘seins’- the modern day word for ‘breasts’
And there’s another thing I learned today.

Oh dear, that’s rather unfortunate, for both the people with TB and the dogs.
Ireland had a massive TB problem up until the 1950’s. Part of the recommended treatment was two pints of Guinness a day….
A fun thing to do is go onto the Irish census, type in random surnames and see how many people in a family had TB or ‘Consumption’ as it was called in those days (I also found John’s ancestors and George’s relations before on random searches- ’tis good fun so it is).
A sad fact is the high infant mortality rate, Children Born: 8, Children Living: 4 🙁
In Dublin alone, around 10,000 people died from TB every year, more than half of them children.
I still have a massive mark on my arm from the BCG injection for TB. It’s like a large weird-looking bubble, it was meant to pop but mine never did 🙁

@Bongo is a regular member of both forums so maybe he can give a compare and contrast of each forums positive and negative qualities and pick which forum is the best.
