Architect of the EU is stretching it a bit. I thought he was one of the worst Presidents ever
And if you look at the ladder from 1974 and 2020 , Richmond won the flag in both years and if you take away the 5 interstate teams who were not around in 1974 , we ended up 8th in both years . 
Too much time on my hands tonight 
âEuropean settlers have difficulty adapting to life in an 1850âs Australian townshipâ. What else would they have been expecting?
Weâre middle of the road? Things are looking up!

Well, at one stage we were called the Gliders
Thereâs not too many good French Presidents, TBH.
dâEstaing had âlâaffaire des diamantsâ where Bokassa, the dictator of the CAE offered two diamonds to him, when Minister of Finance. When this was exposed, some years later, it finished his re-election bid.
Still 28 days to go 
He also pretended to be some sort of aristocrat - the name was made up. He was also a pompous prick. I was forced to read his book in French âFrench Democracyâ and comment on it. My comment was that it was a work of fiction of the fantasy genre - got a fail for that.
I always held out hopes for the Huguenot Rocard, but did not get past PM. I did not mind Mitterrand - there was a great pic of him and the German Chancellor holding hands,walking up the hill to the Verdun mausoleum. Near there in NE France is also the site of some awful battles in the Franco Prussian War and Sedan where Louis Napoleon or Louis Phillipe ( canât remember which one) was captured.
I think it is a remarkable achievement that France and Germany have not been at war with each since 1945.
Hand of God, best cheat of all time.
Fun and games when the lights went out.

Not sure he pretended, the aristocratic name was acquired by his grandfather (you can blame him) - essentially the family was twice removed from the aristocratic line.

Did he actually have that voice or was it put on?
Peter Alliss, British golf commentator, at 82.
Had been feeling under par, I believe.

Very sad about this one. Heâs more or less been on golf broadcasts for my entire life, and maybe the best there ever was. In his later years he got a bit⌠strange (see bottom video) but never failed to entertain.
