They’ve not been very nice to him, have they?

However this plays out in Germany will probably be a major influence on the cannabis policy in other EU countries in a few years.

What can you even say, Klopp is one of the greats and has done it all with LFC, of course he deserves to leave on his own terms.

It’ll be interesting to see how things work out without him and who the club can bring in as a replacement. LFC were already on the up when he came to Liverpool but I don’t think they would’ve gotten over the line and won the league without him, so how long can they sustain their success after he’s gone?

With all the current negative articles about the political and economic situation in Germany, I think it's also important to remember to share the positive ones. Although that's not to say there aren't worrisome things going on here.

There's another article from this morning here, it might give you a more complete picture of what's happening: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/21/germany-afd-party-deportation-masterplan-protests

There are more protests happening across the country today, the one in Berlin is at 4 pm at Brandenburger Tor. See you there.

Es war für mich eine traurige Überraschung, als die BVG heute 5 Euro mehr einnahm und ich in den Nachrichten nachsehen musste warum.

Get rid of the bot and we’d already be way better off.

 

Beim größten Sharing-Anbieter der Hauptstadt gab es am Mittwoch Durchsuchungen. Wurden Daten parkender Fahrzeuge manipuliert, um Gebühren zu umgehen?

 

Erratic Deutsche Bahn services make our commutes a misery. Luckily, their meaningless announcements are an art form

My favourite excuse is an expression that might one day be emblematic of contemporary Germany. I hear Deutsche Bahn wants staff to stop using it, but it can’t banish it from our minds. Verzögerungen im Betriebsablauf – “operational delays” – is meaningful and meaningless in a way that only the German language allows. One day it might even become one of those golden words co-opted into the English language – like zeitgeist or schadenfreude. (Let’s retire Blitz, a word that is jaded and overused in sport, politics and beyond.)

Verzögerungen im Betriebsablauf is the magic phrase for not getting anywhere fast while also suggesting everything is full steam ahead. It is sinister in a beautiful way. It is a phrase Kafka might use if he were writing today, a perfect description of a situation where no one can do anything but everyone is busy.

We realize that this reply will not necessarily meet with your approval, but we do hope that in retrospect you will eventually be able to appreciate the reasoning behind the decision.

Absolutely incredible. The cheek!
