So wish I would have drove up to Bulgaria when I was living in Macedonia in Greece. The border was only three hours away and I would have liked to visit. Pah. Some time. I have a good mate from Varna.

Thanks mate.
I was offered a good job in Glasgow this week Duality. You could have had a new drinking partner/groomer.
Fun fact, it isn't so powerful.
The power of gravity is the power that, if electromagnetic forces weren't present, would drag us straight into the earth's core. It is the aforementioned forces that keep us on the surface of the earth's crust!
Anytime!
"could've had"? FFS!
I'd have liked that really.
No one does mate...LOL I never go to Glasgow
In all honesty, if any of you are in Bulgaria this year - I'm okay with driving up to whereverland to meet someone (provided it's in July, possibly).
Swerve Sunny Beach, it's just not good. Lots of other places to see along the shores (I'd suggest Sozopol, beasting, gf loved it).
Stalin's guards were so scared of him that it took 12 hours for them to call a doctor after he had a stroke, in case they were executed for acting outside of his orders.
The assassin bug wears it victims' bodies as armour. @BlueLlama, this needs to go on the approved list.

My Father, who passed away last month, was one of the two people who developed the defibrillator. Only found this out at the funeral.
I wonder how many on GOT are alive due to this invention.

Awesome, lid.
I believe it was one of those words that was just wholly adopted into the English language, like schadenfreude. Kept the German pronunciation, too.
On the subject of German pronunciation (since I know you're the one of the few people on this forum that can sympathize with this), I have the misfortune of telling a lot of my American friends that they're pronouncing their family names wrong. A lot of times people with German family names will adopt an English pronunciation of it over time. Like my girlfriend, for example, her entire family pronounces their name wrong. I've told her (she didn't care). I haven't had the heart to tell her parents yet.
Okay, getting back on topic.
The highest office ever held by a member of aSocialist Party in the United States is the Mayor of Milwaukee*, my fair city. In the early 20th century, the multiple Socialist mayors of Milwaukee prided themselves on the advanced-for-the-time sewer system that they built, something that many other American cities did not have in that point in history. Because of that and their general pragmatism, Milwaukee Socialists from this time became known as Sewer Socialists. Not that fun, but socialists or communists in any position of consequential power is rare over here.
While it was built slightly before their time, the City Hall that the socialist Milwaukee mayors governed out of was for a brief period of time (1895-1899) the tallest habitable building in North America. Yes, taller than anything in New York City. Or Chicago. We were cool once.
*Current US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont identifies as a Democratic Socialist, but runs on the ballot as an independent.
