Armut Interessantes Projekt, falscher Autor. It is outrageous by the attitude with which he does this. Altmann portrays himself as a tramp freed from all civil constraints, to whom the fat philistines have to give something. When Altmann equates himself with a "real" homeless person, it becomes blatantly: One begs because he desperately needs it. And one begs because he is paid for it. From his publisher. We are both starving. The hunger of one as well as the hunger of the other, it does not matter how it came to the biting feeling...

Deutsche Bahn An amusing history lesson. I travel a lot to train stations, but never have I heard someone ask, "On which track does the Joseph Haydn train leave?" Trains are sufficiently identifiable by (estimated) departures and (hoped) arrival times and end or intermediate stops and therefore, unlike cats or dogs, they do not need names.

Churchill A boring, cheesy movie. Juhu, a film about Churchill, about the Second World War! A film in which even the history student can leave his desk without a guilty conscience and make his way to the cinema. But there immediately the first disappointment: Even in a movie about Churchill you are not allowed to smoke cigars in the cinema. To mitigate the second disappointment from the outset: The darkest hour is not a comprehensive Churchill movie, not even a comprehensive Churchill-in-World War II movie...
