Over in real life, today is my last day working on the Spring Framework, which has been my job for the last 19 years. I am going to take a long break, and see what new job I can find for 2025.

With tonight’s match ahead, it’s time to start some banter. This is the stern piece from the Royal Charles, the English flagship that was captured by the Dutch in the Raid on the Medway in 1667. We keep it in our national museum. No, you cannot have it back.

It is a home-brew Pulp Cthulhu campaign that follows the trail of the Polish Black Brigade during WW2 through 🇵🇱 , 🇭🇺 , 🇮🇹 , 🇫🇷 , 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, 🇫🇷 again, and finally 🇩🇪, while trying to find ancient artifacts that the nazis are after to prevent the universe from ending…

In my completely unbiased opinion, the Belgian "speculoos" is a pale imitation of the Dutch "speculaas", which has a richer taste due to more spices, and is part of a centuries-old tradition instead of a 20th century ripoff "invented" due to lack of spices.
