EURO 2016

@General-Kromwell

I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.

Classic advice! Nothing says safety like a day of drinking and fireworks 😂 Stay safe out there! Fireworks are definitely a hot topic with the Holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year—coming up. I’ll be in France for Christmas and New Year, and I’ve heard New Year’s celebrations there are amazing with fireworks. Found this tourism statistics interesting too, https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-france-statistics-2023-all-you-need-to-know-5275. So excited!

series of History of the First World War by Marshall

Candelvish Publications(they did the W.W.2 series).

Pictures, illustrations, charts, graphs, side articles of W.W.I,

written by the generation who went thru it, and, the ones

afterwards.

Your library might have a loaner series, to take a book home,

or, order it thru the state library system.

I read my series at Buffalo Main Branch at the turn of the

century, took me under two years to go thru the whole series

of books.

Impossible one does not get a feel for The Great War, much

less ideals for House Rules, thanks, Pellulo

Seeing my older brother every Christmas after he left to go live with his dad. My older brother died about 9 years ago short one year of his 50th birthday. No Christmas gift can ever replace him.

I agree with everything you say GHG, but as LHoffman pointed out Bettman is merely doing the owners’ bidding, which is the role of the modern commissioner. The position is no longer a “caretaker of the game” but a pit bull used in mauling the player unions during collective bargaining agreements.

The funny thing is Nashville fans should have been appreciate of Bettman since sunbelt expansion and team preservation is one of his primary legacies. Let’s see the result of this Cup run on the Predators’ TV ratings next year, which were laughably low this season.

Sitting out the Olympics will be a huge mistake for the league and its branding, I figure the owners will have to blink eventually.

This generation of players -led by Crosby- will certainly go down in Canadian lore. That second Cup and most recent international gold vaults him into rarefied hockey air.

Wow is right ! Whoever put that together gets an A+

@Funcioneta:

Germany is Germany.

And for Spain… no chance, pals  :-D Media Mark have a promo: if you buy a TV in MM and Spain passes quarters, they give back you the money. You can imagine. Any spanish know Spain never will pass the quarters in any soccer championship, even non fans of soccer as I.

Edit: and when, somehow, they manage by a miracle pass the quarters, Spain gets an utterly and total defeat in the finals  :mrgreen:

Seems I was wrong  :-D As I said, I’m not an expert at football, and this confirm it. Anyway, it’s good seeing spanish flags in the houses for once without bad things happening. If football unite spanish people, maybe serves for something. Congrats on all spanish football fans, and also for german fans for Germany playing the final match  :-)
