Not Czechia!

I really feel like this is going to stay around for quite a while

Can we have a break yet? My glass is empty

What the hell, no, you still need to post your 12 points! What is happening!

Huh what? Too much Catholic talk I guess....

Malta Definitely my favourite of all Mediterranean islands with weird isolate languages!

To think back then there was still an entire continent named after one of the most insignificant Dutch provinces, instead of just a country

Yep. Personally I mostly hate how much it influences local politics. Like, we've got the SGP, a very, very strictly Christian political party. Usually scores a very solid 2% or so, nationally, which has been hovering around that for many decades, since their base is very strong yet very....undynamic. However, in certain places, including my own, it gets to 20%+, even above 50% in some smaller towns (like one that is part of my municipality). They want to rule with the Bible in hand, which just goes so much against everything I believe in (people being free in their religion, but religious choices having no place in politics, laws and so on). And to think I know from experience it can definitely be 'normal', if people want. My own sister is Christian, yet treats everyone absolutely normal and with the same kindness. Same for her boyfriend. Heck, even my very own girlfriend is a Christian, but also the kind who doesn't try to convince others about it being the 'right' way or anything. If that was the case, she and I (a very much non-believer) wouldn't have been together for almost 6 years now But having grown up and still living in - and probably always living in - a town where it plays a huge role...yeah, a lot of people take it way too far.

I'd say that too depends on where you are. In the somewhat Catholic south of the country it might be one or two (depending on how big the city is), but I assume one. Like I said, the northern half doesn't really have the Catholic things and masses, but regular church services, which I assume are done in one language. Haven't gone to one in many, many, many years, but I assume in my town an unfortunate amount of people in those services don't even speak anything else than Dutch...

Last serious chance for Israel to score points, given New Zealand's usual.....odd voting pattern?

That probably really depends on where in Europe. Anything Catholic is barely a thing at all here, especially in my part of the country (the northern half) it's really just the non-Catholic Christian things (protestant or whatever it's all called...just not catholic with the saints and the masses and all that ).

And someone drinks, I would like to add!

I am imagining but have no idea if that means it's late or what The only church things I know is that on Sunday morning I hear the bells of the 23576 churches in this town and on public TV there's some program where they're singing church stuff instead of showing sports

Wow, that is an epically unfortunate pairing this TOISC

Who knew the big superstar would end up walking away with it...

Ukraine

This still neatly equals the leaderboard here: https://leaderboardhq.com/ttaereoz

I'm starting to be slightly cognitively impaired, but I'll give it a try

Nope We got it from a cousin and yeah...there we are It's a few years old now and probably about 1m high. It produces a few olives I believe, but I think the birds often get them. Too bad!

Poland

Not very fun fun fact: we have a little olive tree at home.

Then is dinner defined as a specific time of day when one eats, or a kind of meal? Because especially on a Sunday we do eat a warm meal around 12:30-13:00 or so, but we don't call it 'dinner' even though it's what we would normally have at dinner time

Southern people are weird man.

Same here It can be a bit later because of two people who are often working until 18:00 and so are home 18:05-18:10 or so, but eating later than 18:30 is....rare. When we eat as a family, that is, I often eat alone because I do a training after work and am only ready for dinner at 19:00+

You backstabber
