Their quaterback (Peyton Manning) also broke the league record for passing yards and touchdowns with 55. Mr. Bubi has been a Denver fan since the first day I meet him.
Well, you can't have everything. At least it's played in NYC. I don't have an opinion on neither team, too. Some people my girlfriend knows favor the Seahawks, but I just hope for a good and entertaining match :)
SanMarco hat geschrieben:The Secretary of State will be in Berlin on Friday. Hopefully our countries can patch up our relations. The news reported today that Mrs. Merkel is still mad at us. As she should be.
Actually, it's unbelievable that any country being caught with it's hand in some other countries cookie jar would afterwards state, that they would continue to check as they please. How could anyone imagine to not utterly destroy ones relationship? You can't just excuse everything with "war on terror"... I'm no terrorist, but wouldn't be treated any better... It never was just a simple matter of an apology (which we absolutely deserve)... It has to stop, right here, right now.
SanMarco hat geschrieben: I read that the Bund has changed grooming regulations and no longer allows beards and piercings. Does one have to be a certain rank or in a certain job to have a beard?
In my time with the Bundeswehr, it was not allowed to grow a beard on duty, but if you had one (e.g. after vacation or weekend
) , you were to trim it to a proper lengh.
In case of piercings and tattoos, there were no greater need to regulate this in my time, because they were quite rare, so tattoos were tolerated, piercings were not.
Bundeswehr just added some paragraphs on these topics... nothing special...
