For those wondering about King Charles’ Dinner for One joke in Germany - it’s a reference to a TV show that’s been shown on NYE for 60 years.

The British actor had been performing the sketch in Blackpool for years when German TV personality Peter Frankenfeld saw him. Frankenfeld invited Flinton to Germany to perform his sketch. They even had a polar bear rug for him - a crucial prerequisite - but Flinton preferred to use his own tiger rug as he had perfected the timing of his stumble - and that was based on the height of the tiger head.

My website designer had to resign from my project, so I'm looking for someone to complete the work. Anyone know someone who fits this profile?

- WordPress self-hosted website
- Focus on graphic design
- EU-based (ideally Germany)
- Tax-registered This is the kind of style I'm looking for - minimalist, elegant but not boring. I'll do the content myself, it's the design that I need help with.

Around 8 pages - fairly simple.

Oh, and it has to be bilingual DE/EN.

Husband asked, ‘Huh? 1979? 10 years before the Wende?’ (Fall of the Wall).

... ‘Yes. My family escaped from the DDR in a small airplane’.

Ok, wasn’t going to go there but there are a lot of people completely missing the point David Lammy is making. Here’s where I went from being that ‘white saviour’ to seeing it as deeply problematic. A couple of years ago, I was invited on a trip to Kenya with a group of bloggers from around the world. To write about maternal health and the importance of contraception access.

Ok, so this is over-simplified but the responses show just how little folk in UK understand this issue. 1. Yes, the cousin can apply for Dutch citizenship but every EU country has their own rules and she may not be eligible yet.
