I suppose it's fantastic living in France but the European Championship 2024 will be hosted by Germany. Next manager at Old Trafford: Zinedine Zidane

We are going to have 4 matches here in Cologne at the Euro's 2024

Needless to say that none of Alain Delon's characters survive these 3 French gangster movies...

Spectacular performance!!! I love the positive energy from Gershwin's music

The ceramic drums were impressive. The drum in the first picture is about 5'7, at least. A huge thing. Pic 2+3 is a drum, too.

Some photos from an exhibition of the Nasca culture, we visited recently. They found a lot of ceramic musical instruments in Peru, like the pan flute in pic 2

^^^ @marlam, @John M, @zepscoda: fantastic pictures!!!!

Wonder if I could gain more street cred in those sweatpants???? Thank you gibson for posting all this funny Zep stuff from ebay, great founds.

Hefe but alcohol free - I really love the alcohol free Hefe, and much more than lemonade

We went to a lovely petite Crêperie. I had a Crêpe with Nutella (can't stand Nutella but I like it on a Crêpe). Mr. LedZed had a Galette (a Crêpe made of buckwheat flour) with salmon and spinach. Erdinger and Nutella are a crazy combination but I was so very thursty

We went to the football match this afternoon. The club of our city, 1. FC Köln, was relegated to 2. Bundesliga last season but the matches are still sold out (stadium capacity 50.000) and the atmosphere is still outstanding. We have the 2nd best atmosphere in Bundesliga, including 1. BL. Only the "yellow wall" of Borussia Dortmund is having more fun. Today's match was spectacular. Our club lost 3:5 but we saw: 8 goals + 2 disallowed goals (offside) for our home team. A penalty against the home team and a red card against our home team. Mr. LedZed is devastated but I enjoyed the entertaining game.

Hilarious!

Are these gratinated french fries?

The noodles sound delicious. I love all different types of Asian noodles. In a soup or fried. Yummy. Because I don't like cilantro I think I'd prefer the lemon flavoured hand sanitizer

Will more teams water down the competition? I don't know and FIFA don't care. They'll take the money and run. I watched 4 Tottenham games in the Champions League last season. They played fantastic football and Kane is a world class striker. But he is on a different level than the rest of team. Well, England lost against Spain. I'm excited to see how Spain will develope under their new manager, now their devine midfield is retired: Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Cesc Fàbregas. Sigh. Those were the days. 6:0 against Croatia, that's great. I'm still angry about Croatia:Denmark - one of the worst matches I've ever watched.

I prefer the WC but I enjoy the Euro's too. 2020 won't be hosted in a country - oh no - it will be played all over Europe: St. Petersburg, Glasgow, Copenhagen, Baku. I heard the Nations League is a back up system for the big teams that failed to qualify in the EURO qualifiers.

Mother's Finest are coming to town but to a very small venue. What a pitty. I'll play the album instead. When 11 isn't loud enough:
