    NATO... as to the why, I presume that has everything to do with orange45 disgracing our shores and the Turks having a pop at the Kurds...

    Dynamo were in the Eastern sector of Berlin - so was it the defection of Falko Götz and Dirk Schlegel whilst in Yugoslavia for a match against Partisan, they then went on to play for Bayer in West Germany.

    Cheers Fez. What was first used in Bohemia in the 12th century and then in Flanders in the 14th, spreading to England in the 15th ?

    As in brewing beer but that's an ancient process.

    That's the one Fez. As you say it is an ancient process but hops were first introduced by German monks in Bohemia around 1150 - prior to that other herbs such as mugwort or ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) were used to supply the bitter note. Over to you.

    A capon is a castrated cockerel but I don't think that any are renowned for thinking.
