Oh my goodness, this is perfect :wub:

 

I hope you told her that it wouldn't be weird if she had a picture of a potato at school. That's like taking away kids pictures from parents' wallets...

She showed me this today

IDK, I’ll have to ask her. (And maybe have her teach me some basic Lithuanian)

A secret recording of the 1940 armistice has been released

 

 

the video here

 

 

Spoiler

 

"Je tiens à vous dire qu'il y a certaines conditions que nous n'accepterons pas quoi qu'il arrive." La voix mal assurée du général Charles Huntziger traduit le malaise de la délégation française, ce 22 juin 1940, dans la clairière de Rethondes, à l'heure de signer le document entérinant la défaite de la France tendu par le représentant du Troisième Reich. Un moment d'histoire gravé dans un enregistrement sonore secret, dont le contenu est révélé pour la première fois dans le deuxième volet du documentaire 1940, les secrets de l'armistice, diffusé dimanche 3 février à 22h40 sur France 5.

Des disques longtemps restés cachés dans les recoins de l'histoire et à la trajectoire rocambolesque. Réapparaissant soixante-quinze ans après les faits, grâce à l'homme d'affaires et collectionneur français Bruno Ledoux, qui les a retrouvés en 2015 lors d'une vente aux enchères en Allemagne, ces enregistrements comportent encore bien des mystères.

 

 

"I want to tell you that there are certain conditions that we will not accept whatever happens." The insecure voice of General Charles Huntziger reflects the uneasiness of the French delegation, June 22, 1940, in the clearing of Rethondes, at the time of signing the document confirming the defeat of France by the representative of the Third Reich. A moment of history engraved in a secret sound recording, whose content is revealed for the first time in the second part of the documentary 1940, the secrets of the armistice, broadcast Sunday, February 3 at 22:40 on France 5.

Records long hidden in the corners of history and the incredible trajectory. Reappearing seventy-five years after the fact, thanks to the businessman and collector Bruno Ledoux, who found them in 2015 at an auction in Germany, these recordings still have many mysteries.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
