Man nearly sucked out of window on Ryanair flight

 Surprised ryan air havent charged the man an extra fee for the experience

Yeah, this guy will get an apology letter, but if he wants it printed out, that 's 50 Euros

RyanAir will probably send him the bill to replace the window

Before you wonder: yes, it was a Boeing.

Not all Boeings, but always a Boeing

USA-Belgium. Trump an Infantino: „Das Spiel muss so lange wiederholt werden bis wir gewonnen haben.

 I remember: I voted for Trump, but ...

2015
 

Belgium national team celebrated their fourth goal against the USA by doing the Donald Trump dance

USA-Belgium, Fussball WM 2026, Seattle,

die US Streitkräfte werden in Belgien einmarschieren

USA played Soccer, Belgium played FOOTBALL

Trump intervenes in FIFA red card decision

Hat der Trump dem Infantino offenbar zu wenig bezahlt? Werden die Belgier jetzt von ICE ausgeschafft?

There will be a rematch once the Yankee call the corrupt FIFA President.

Jetzt ruft Trump an, Belgien wird disqualifiziert und USA ist automatisch im Finale und darf gegen Haiti ran.

Jetzt lässt Trump Invantino festnehmen und steckt ihn 20 Jahre in den Knast. Die richtige Frisur hat er ja schon

Upps….Brüssel bekommt jetzt wahrscheinlich wieder Strafzölle..

Belgium players mock Donald Trump dance after decisive World Cup win

The US has lost even after cheating.

Wake up people this corruption has to stop. The USA should be taken away from hosting the next Olympic Games.

Trump will appeal the result and will play in the rematch

Belgium will get seriously tariffed now.

Infantino, he is litteraly a fugitive, he is under investigation in switzerland so he fleed to quatar for 4 year and now he hide in usa.

The British Prime Minister should call Infantino and ask him to overrule the red card that the player from England got in it's recent game with Mexico. As a matter of fact, all national leaders should call up the FIFA president every time one of their key players gets a red card in a world cup match.

FIFA and Trump have cheapened the World Cup

Tonight we were all Belgians!!!

Trump: "I understand sports well" = "I understand cheating well"

Winning by cheating is not winning. Trump only knows how to cheat.

corruption by Infantino and Trump: I feel sorry for the genuine American football fans whose name has been maligned by these despicable individuals.

Trump ruins everything good in our country

Trump Dances To ‘YMCA’ At His CTrump Dances To ‘YMCA’ At His Trump Trump Dances To ‘YMCA’ Campaign Rallies,  "People tell me I might be the greatest dancer in all the histories. Maybe even better than Lincoln."

"People tell me I might be the greatest dancer in all the histories. Maybe even better than Lincoln."
Watch Trump complain about this and get USA through to the next round
Welp, Belgium just became the new Greenland

Boom! Tariffs on Belgium.

Donald Trump (80), the president of the United States, faced unprecedented allegations of "external pressure," and Belgium responded with merciless mockery.

Belgian players gathered in a circle near the goal line and performed the so-called "Trump dance" as a group.

Watch: Lukaku and Belgium break into ‘Trump dance’ after knocking USA out of World Cup

After netting Belgium’s fourth goal deep into stoppage time, striker Romelu Lukaku broke into the now-famous ‘Donald Trump dance‘. Several of his teammates immediately joined in, forming a circle as they celebrated the emphatic victory. Videos of the moment spread rapidly across social media, triggering thousands of reactions from football fans.

Overturn this!' - Belgium players perform Donald Trump dance to celebrate World Cup win over USMNT amid furore surrounding Folarin Balogun ban reversal

World Cup
USA vs Belgium
Belgium’s stars sent a defiant message to the White House and FIFA by performing the 'Trump dance' during their dominant 4-1 World Cup victory over the United States. The clinical performance in Seattle served as the ultimate response to the controversial reversal of Folarin Balogun’s red card suspension, a decision that dominated headlines and sparked fierce debate in the build-up to the match.

The lady in the green dress is the best dressed person in an airport for the last 30 years

 Pretty too. Loved her dress.


 2018

And she looked comfortable.

The first time I rode a plane was in 1985. My grandmother went to Sears and bought us dresses for the occasion
The one in red too. Classy
I used to fly for business, I didn't always wear a tie but, at least dress shirt and sports coat, I know that dates me but, I earned my age
The one in red too. Classy
Was thinking the same.
 
Refreshing to see people with class again

.
I thought the colour really suited her.
 
Style, hard to define easy to recognize.
 
My dad always made us dress up when flying.
I make sure my kids do the same.

She is still dumb for shooting vertical video.

 Imagine if cinema screens were vertical

... and our eyes were aligned vertically??

You are in a tin tube flying 35,000 feet above earth with 100 other passengers. Sit down, shut up, and mind your manners.

 Exactly .  Old school.

if it was “old school” they would be both drinking and smoking cigarettes.

"old school" would be drinking, smoking, dress very nicely and never bothered anybody. Back then it was a privilege to fly.
AND you got an actual meal.

Thank you, Steve, great adventure. I enjoy photography of old graves and gravestones in far off forgotten places. I told my wife when I pass, I want to be cremated. She came and told me yesterday my appointment is next Wednesday!

Im schönsten Wiesengrunde

 Im schönsten Wiesengrunde Ist meiner Heimat Haus da zog ich manche Stunde ins Tal hinaus Dich mein stilles Tal Grüß ich tausendmal da zog ich manche Stunde ins Tal hinaus Müsst aus dem Tal ich scheiden wo alles Lust und Klang das wär mein herbstes leiden mein letzter Gang Dich mein stilles Tal Grüß ich tausendmal da zog ich manche Stunde ins Tal hinaus Sterb ich im Tales Grunde Will ich begraben sein singt mir zur letzten Stunde beim Abendschein Dir mein stilles Tal Gruß zum letzten mal Singt mir zur letzten Stunde beim Abendschein

his income was not enough,

     George Grey Barnard was a risk taker and led most of his life on the edge of poverty.

His success led him to adopt a somewhat romantic view of himself. He recalled bicycling across the French countryside and unearthing fallen and long-forgotten Gothic masterworks along the way.

Self Improvement Plan

Robert Louis Stevenson improved his writing skills through a disciplined, lifelong commitment to study, imitation, and meticulous revision. He famously described his training as acting as a "sedulous ape" to masters of literature, consciously practicing their techniques to develop his own unique style.

His methods for improving his craft included:
  • The "Sedulous Ape" Method (Imitation): As a youth, Stevenson trained himself by imitating the styles of authors he admired, such as Hazlitt, to Lamb, to Wordsworth, to Sir Thomas Browne, to Defoe, to Hawthorne, to Montaigne, to Baudelaire and to Obermann. He would read a passage, and then practice writing in that same style to absorb its rhythm and technique.
  • Constant Practice and Observation: Stevenson always carried two books in his pocket—one to read, one to write in. As he walked, he practiced "fitting what I saw with appropriate words," treating writing as a craft to be practiced like carpentry.
  • Meticulous Revision and Pruning: Stevenson viewed writing as a form of "pruning" and editing. He focused on choosing the mot juste (the exact right word) and removing unnecessary, "watered" phrases to ensure his prose was concise and impactful. He famously argued that if a thought could be expressed in one sentence instead of two, the shorter version must be used.
  • Focus on Rhythm and Sound: He believed that literature, like music, should be pleasing to the "internal ear". He improved his writing by carefully arranging the rhythm of his sentences, utilizing alliteration and assonance.

Hans Wurst

 Der Hanswurst, seit dem 16. Jahrhundert (Hans worst[1]) war (und ist noch immer) als Spott- und Schimpfwort in Gebrauch. In Österreich entstanden die Versionen Wurschtl, Hansnarr, Hansdampf. 1775 verfasste der 26-jährige Johann Wolfgang Goethe eine Farce mit dem Titel Hanswursts Hochzeit.

Als Hansdampf in allen Gassen wird umgangssprachlich ein aktiver, vielseitiger und umtriebiger Mensch bezeichnet, ein Tausendsassa .

: Jack of all trades – and master of none (dt. etwa: in jedem Beruf Geselle, aber in keinem ein Meister).

Mozart

Piano Concerto No.17 K453 - Mariana Achba/Vakhtang Kakhidze

 

On May 27, 1784, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart bought a small starling in Vienna. It wasn't just a pet: this little bird had a special talent! Mozart soon realized that the bird repeated the melodies it heard with incredible accuracy, but not only that... it also added its own variations! One day, the starling sang the first 17 notes of Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K. 453, with some modifications: It added a musical coda in the first complete bar. It sang a G-sharp (G#) instead of a natural G (G) in the next bar. It is said that it was the starling's version that became the definitive version of the concerto. When his beloved bird died on June 4, 1787, Mozart organized a lavish funeral and even wrote a funeral poem, demonstrating the special bond he had with it. A genius who found inspiration everywhere... even in the feathers of a little starling!

Description

       “I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” ― Anais Nin___
