Stick a toilet paper scarf on it, and it'd be the image of Cecilia

The Stiftsbibliothek in St Gallen does have an exhibition about St Gall, including a video about him, which left me wondering if it wasn't a sneaky marketing attempt by Tourism Ireland

Have to admit, I've been caught by using "grand" myself

I'm surprised at John so low, though maybe if they'd called him Prince John?

I signed it yesterday as an Irish person resident in Germany for example. (Not entirely sure which I "counted" as though)

I'd call it "naps" as much as "nopes"

It does seem hard to believe it's the same cat who would just about sit in a box on the other side of the room

There is, however, the small Zeppelin Museum in Zeppelinheim www.zeppelin-museum-zeppelinheim.de/html/en_inde...
And another 30 something museums www.museumsufer.de/en/all-museu...

I feel obliged to point out that there are funiculars in both Wiesbaden (a water-powered one) and Heidelberg near Frankfurt, if you want those.
But I don't think the Museum of Ancient Boats in Mainz will be reopened until later in the year

Probably not considered so at the time (according to my hazy memory of how religion worked back then).
Which seems a bit weird, to be honest, but then I have been reading about stuff like the Albigensian Crusade, so I’d more expect differences of belief to be seen as huge rather than papered over

Oh, that goes without saying (I'm reading about the Albigensian Crusade at the moment, which wasn't all that different)
The Swedish contribution to the 30 Years War being a great example of someone using it as a cover (being funded by the French later making it even better)

But how else are you going to save people's*souls*?
It's always struck me as one of the most senseless conflicts
