Interesting:

• Plone.org pumps out about 4m hits a month
• Zope.org (which must do about 1/2 as much again) has just been relaunched based on Plone

So to everyone who questioned whether Plone could handle any amount of traffic: Bite my shiny metal ass.

We were talking about attendees to euvolt, including one person I thought was a foreigner living in the UK. Mike corrected me, saying No, english living in Germany. This reminded me of this quote:

Some years ago I spent a lot of time with a young lady who was very proud and conscious of being English. Once she asked me - to my great surprise - whether I would marry her. No, I replied, I will not. My mother would never agree to my marrying a foreigner. She looked at me a little surprised and irritated, and retorted: I, a foreigner? What a silly thing to say. I am English. You are the foreigner. And your mother, too. I did not give in. In Budapest, too? I asked her. Everywhere, she declared with determination. Truth does not depend on geography. What is true in England is also true in Hungary and in North Borneo and Venezuela and everywhere.

But I was astounded to discover that Sabrina - our resident expat Merkin - hadn't read George Mikes' classic work for such immigrants. So here for the benefit of such persons are some links to it.

Given that we're going to be living round the corner from the station in Dunbar, and therefore somewhat dependent on trains up to Edinburgh, I thought it would be useful to find an online guide to train times.

Given that all attempts by UK train operating companies are dreadful, I was pretty chuffed to find that the German national rail site has UK train times. In English.
