Believe it or not, I entered the year of 2014 when standing in the middle of that ski jumping hill. It almost seems unbelieveable now. Does any actual ski jumping take place there? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Looks like they recently added some nice modern youth training hills: Maybe we’ll get a Croatian ski jumper someday (at least at a YOG or something) dcro 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

It regularly hosted ski jumping events until the early 1980s. Then there was a short-lived reanimation around 2006 or something, but not so much since. There are talks about renovation every once in a while... But only "talks". #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I couldn't find much. For better or worse Hungary is doomed to send Hungarian language songs, because apparently we almost never write songs in English. I just look for whichever songs I like most and they are simply rarely, if ever, Dutch . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted April 11, 2020 Author #1165 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Good Morning Ladies and gentlemen, we are now only about 15 minutes away from the start of the Grand Final. We will take this opportunity to present a couple of Croatian singers of the olden age. They are Vice Vukov and Josipa Lisac. tuniscof and mrv86 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can imagine it's annoying to have to scan your entire room with your webcam to make sure there's nothing in it, like I had to do when making the Ethical Hacking Foundation exam (which I did at work, but I still had to scan everything, including under the chair and desk, so they could see there was nothing fishy) tuniscof 1 .

It’s pretty much just honor code, with some security built in the online platforms (I.e no extra tabs/windows, time limits, etc.) “Sport has the power to change the world.
