There is still a bit of news for the usual football news, but those should stop in the coming weeks as every national championship / league will finish.

I will post about the prediction tournament over there too.

I was talking with a friend about the basque coast in france and he told me

They do a sport called 'longe côte' where you walk quickly along the beach with water up to you chest.

And what do you know, this morning i saw two groups of longe côteurs. A fascinating local sport.

Just coming back from Madrid, it was really nice. Wide pedestrian streets, beautiful buildings, nice terraces and amazing food.

I guess being Belgian I always have some negativity towards capital city (Brussels gave its name to the phenomenon of lack of urban planning leading to ugliness, bruxellisation), but this made me reconsider this.

So, dear Europeans, what is your favorite capital?

For context, my knowledge of current football is almost non existent.

Yearly football doesn't appeal a lot to me, but what I like about the Euro or the World Cup is seeing a large number of countries represented, and the popular enthusiasm during the matches.

I have fond memories of watching matches on a giant screen or at a friend's house, and no matter what the outcome, it's generally a great time.

So two questions:

  • would you guys be interested in a !euro2024@instance community? It would be mainly for match feeds and sharing other news.
  • Would anyone be interested in a prediction contest? You don't have to know a thing about it, it's usually the people who know the least who win.

Surprisingly good music from some kids in Cork.

Basically title.

I'm going with my parents, so looking for more chill bars and restauranrs than clubs.

We'll be staying around the Plaza Mayor.

For visits, we'll be doing the Retiro Park, Fountains of Neptune and Cibeles, Temple of Debod, Royal Palace, Royal Theater, the Cathedral and Prado Museum

Thanks!

Amsterdam, Cafe Brecht

The crowd spans all ages and nationalities. Ada Popowicz, a 25-year-old master’s student from Poland, came to the event because she wanted to work on her thesis and meet like-minded individuals. “You think better because you’re not interrupted,” she says.

Hello everyone,

I noticed I have been the only mod here, which is usually bad practice.

Anyone wanting to join me? The community is quite laid back, so usually not a lot of work to do. Modlog is public so power tripping is usually quite obvious.

It’s better if you are a regular commenter here, but that’s about it. I would also prefer Europeans, as it's the topic of the community.

See you in the comments
