I love it when memories are linked to certain songs but on the other hand sometimes it can ruin a song forever haha.

Thought of you @Stan & @nudge. Trending new on LinkedIn.

@UK Grun Weiss is a massive Max Kruse fan as well as a Werder Bremen fan.

@Bluewolf finally started watching Ride with Norman Reedus... Only one episode in so far but I thoroughly enjoy it already!

Nope, not yet. Damn, I remember the day he died. It was so shocking.

Funnily enough, I was down towards that end earlier today.

I have not but I'm sure it is worth reading as Ronald Reng was very close to Robert Enke and his family and his books are mostly a great read.

Class that is... I do enjoy Speed by him as well... Motor special just for you Nudge

Yeah - I have a hammock in my back yard, and when the weather is right (like it is now), I like to go out there, lay in my hammock with a book and a drink, play that song and just enjoy the moment. Very few songs have that kind of pull on me, but for some reason that song always takes me back to a place where I had no worries.

Love that song @nudge Very nostalgic for me as I can remember the exact place and situation in which I first heard this song.

I made a mistake of going out for lunch today and the town was full of people celebrating New Year.

Welcome!

You can add Borussia Dortmund for me if you want as I have always kept track of their matches over the years and nowadays as I was stationed in Dortmund in my army days (early 1970's).

That's why i always add to avoid this

for some reason I just saw Relling first, and I was thinking...NO WAY...so I added him to RB real quick...only to see that everyone was WAY off.

My dream as a child was to be the first person to start a new civilisation under the sea....

Mission update: 1st dive: Atantic - Puerto Rico Trench - COMPLETE. In a historic feat, explorer Victor Vescovo became the first human to dive on a solo mission to the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean – the verified bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench at 8,376 meters/27,480 feet in his private submersible, the Limiting Factor. The trench was previously explored to approximately 8,300 meters by the French submersible Archimede in 1964, but it did not reach the deepest point. The dive also makes the Limiting Factorthe deepest diving operational submersible in the world, surpassing the previous operational record-holder, the Chinese submersible Jiaolong which has reportedly reached a maximum depth of 7,062 meters. A groundbreaking documentary series about the expedition is also being filmed by Atlantic Productions for Discovery Channel, and will air in 2019/2020. In addition to Vescovo’s solo dive, the expedition also accomplished: First manned descent to the verified bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench, the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean First American-made submersible to dive deeper than 6,100 meters since the US Navy’s DSV-4 Sea Cliffin 1985, thirty-three years ago Only the second solo dive made deeper than 5,000 meters. Only James Cameron in his Deepsea Challengerhas made a deeper solo dive, to full ocean depth (10,908 meters) in 2012 2nd dive: Southern - South Sandwich Trench - COMPLETE. The Five Deeps Expedition crosses another historic dive off its list when explorer Victor Vescovo became the first human to dive to the deepest point in the Southern Ocean – in the southern portion of the South Sandwich Trench – at 7,433.6 meters/24,388 feet in his private submersible, the Limiting Factor. Located just north of the Antarctic continent, the Southern Ocean’s South Sandwich Trench has not been thoroughly explored and is the only subzero Hadal zone (deeper than 6,000 meters) in the world. No human has ever dived in the trench, and what few samples have been taken from its hadal depths, date back to the early 1970s. Due to its remote location, this dive posed many logistical and weather-related challenges, however the scientific findings could prove to be groundbreaking. In addition to Vescovo’s solo dive, the expedition also accomplished: First human being to reach the bottom of the Southern Ocean in the southern portion of the South Sandwich Trench Most accurate mapping of the South Sandwich Trench to date using a modern multibeam sonar system • Deepest dive into a sub-zero Hadal zone, only the third solo dive below 7,000 meters The third-deepest solo dive in history, after James Cameron’s 2012 dive to the Pacific Ocean’s Challenger Deep, and Vescovo’s dive in December 2019 to the bottom of the Atlantic 3rd dive: Indian - Java Trench - COMPLETE. For the third time, the Five Deeps Expedition has successfully dived to the previously-unvisited bottom of one of the world’s five oceans. The team completed a mission to reach one of the most isolated points on the planet: the deepest point of the Java Trench in the Indian Ocean. Now measured at 7,192 meters/23,596 feet deep, Victor Vescovo is the first human to dive to its depths in the DSV Limiting Factor (Triton 36000/2 model submersible) the world’s deepest diving, currently operational submarine. At the bottom of the trench, the team managed to capture footage from the sub and from the landers of what are believed to be entirely new species, yet unseen by humans. From the sub, a new species of hadal snailfish was observed amongst many other bottom dwelling organisms, and the landers observed an extraordinary gelatinous animal – thought to be a stalked Ascidean, otherwise known as a Sea Squirt – which does not resemble anything seen before. In addition to Vescovo’s solo dive, the expedition also accomplished: First descent to the bottom of the Indian Ocean The most solo dives - three - deeper than 7,000m have now been made by a single individual, Victor Vescovo First manned descent of any significant depth (below 2,000 meters) in the Java Trench and the first descent to the absolute bottom of the trench (7,192m) Deepest dive by a British citizen (Scottish) in that country’s history, by Dr. Alan Jamieson to 7,180 meters, and first to visit a hadal zone First seabed lander operations including biological sampling and depth confirmation at the bottom of the Diamantina Fracture Zone in the Indian Ocean, 800 miles west of the Australian coast Discovered at least 4 new species of life, including one significantly-sized, stalked Ascidean, previously unseen by any member of the expedition science team Completed the third dive of the Five Deeps Expedition and thus 60% complete with the overall mission, and remaining on schedule for completion in September 2019 Three down, two more to go! Next step - Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench!

Jackie Stewart has hated Lewis since day 1, got worse when Lewis passed his record. He needs to take the KKK mask off his face, the senile prick. Oh Vettel.

The memes from the 1st episode are on another level

Not really surprised or disappointed with the first episode. It was bound to be used to set up things, and I thought it did a good job. This season is like Avengers Infinity War and Endgame. It doesn't matter how good or bad they are, we are all emotionally tied to the series that we will enjoy every bit of it. On a funny note, my wife introduced her mum to the series last year, and even watched most of the episodes with her. They made a pact to watch the new season together. She was going to stop over at her place this evening to watch the show. But my wife secretly tried to cheat during her office lunch break, only to find a check mark of watched on the episode in her streaming account. Mother in law has accepted her crime.

IndyCar is class though.

Worry not, nudge is taken care of (check first post).

Just downloaded a book that was recommended to me. @nudge @Tommy @Faithcore - Have any of you read this?
