Der Funke Leben / Spark of Lide -> classics

we had just upgraded out TV last month, 65 inch, so we had real impact with this movie.

Its not one I'll go easy to sleep with... meaningful

 

gogo

At least in Germany 'All quiet on the Western Front' is in cinemas since mid octobre. Our second watched it in a cinema with some friends. She talked about the movie and I said even I was at a naval air wing - first six weeks in general training we had to learn entrenching and using the foldable spade as a weapon in close combat. In the garnison museum were spades from WW1 soldiers made as sharp as razor blades for trench combat. The bayonetts on a rifle were usable in attack, but when fighting in a trench one at one shorter weapons were needed - and everyone had a spade.

classics -> cinema

Corona had a heavy impact on the classic entertainment: live concerts, cinema, theatres...

cinema => matinee

matinee -> delightful

I remember a few times getting to lunch time movie showings. Always felt like a treat, specially with picking up some good food in the area... montreal had great cinemas in those days... enter the Imperial!

...just for a movie right?

delightful -> Loreley

The Loreley rock was turned into a gun platform as a border fortress against France. Ruined many of the romatic look but the platform is now location for concerts with up to 100000 people.

I am so old that I visited David Bowie Outside tour at the Lorelei while being at university 1996.

Its just a strange lately that Ive come to "dig" David Bowie...even the slow stuff... great lyrics, timeless sentiments, always a fresh journey with him

marble -> bridge

Lahnmarmor from the Lahn river area is a special type of marble. In Villmar is a bridge made from Lahnmarmor since they had more marble than other stones. My son in law is a bridge engineer so we did some canoo trips along the Lahn river to visit the bridge, often starting the day trip at my hometown Wetzlar at the Lahn.

 

If the Lahnmarmor is polished it is very colorful, as in the Empire State Building:

bridge -> aunt

my aunts REALLY good at bridge

gogo

[chattius 2,519]

aunt -> village

grewing up in a village we said Tante (aunt) to every female adult person who was close to the family in a way: real aunts, aunts second and third grate, neighbours, friends of the family, ...

I had countless uncles and aunts, but not all gave birthday presents when I was a young kid, wonder why :)

[gogoblender 3,066]

 chattius, I think we all had a few of those nefarious aunts as well!

village -> trust

 

gogo

[chattius 2,519]

trust -> but

I think 99% of all sentences containing 'trust' also contain a 'but'.

I t hink Lenin said: 'Trust is good, but control is better'

Reagon said 'Trust, but verify!' which is quite the opposite of trust, even for a politician

With teenage daughters and being a math, I am with game theory 'tit for tat'. Trust till fooled and then react.

Seriously Steve, you make that offer TOO GOOD

I was actually down in Houston years ago visiting family we know there years ago... I remember that Galleria AND the hot weather... beauty place!

Ribs -> company

bbq needs company!

Steve does your area stay warm during the winter months or get a little chilly?

[chattius 2,519]

company -> Quarkbällchen

When I do Quarkbällchen the kids were swarming around me, each trying to get the first ones. So I do double the amount to have some left for the next day. It are small balls from yeast dough containing Quark (in our case self made, sort of creamy curd cheese) fried in hot fat. Our old family recipe did it with meadowsweet instead then very expensive real vanilla. The fat for frying was homemade clarified butter.

The closest baker is selling them for 3€ per 10 pieces in a paper bag. He is very close to a elementary school

[gogoblender 3,066]

Quarkbällchen => Qbert

It normally stays fairly warm with lows around 0 Celsius. Although, February before last we had temps of -18 Celsius.

battlezone -> Elite

The BBC Acorn was never a success un Germany. I bought one in a sales out because I knew how to code the 6502 processor. We had 6502 machines at school. It had good interfaces for attaching hardware: morse decoder, stitchery machine, washing machine, .... Still functional used with our knitting machine.

It game with the game Elite.
