April 16th is a big day: not only the eightieth birthday of Pope Benedict XVI, but also the fourth birthday of Transblawg.
On this auspicious or inauspicious (depending on your point of view) occasion, one is bound to ask: what do Benedict XVI and Transblawg have in common, and what not?
We have to conclude that there are only a few similarities. Both were born in Bavaria, but Transblawg is not likely to reach the age of eighty. Both speak German and English. Both invite comments - up to a point.

Transblawg / Since the last entry attracted comments, here are two pictures of the Palast der Republik to confirm the comments. And can anyone tell me what the not-quite-legible ad in the last picture is for? It says something like 'Der Beweis, dass auch…
Back in Fürth / Zurück in Fürth
Transblawg / Taken two days ago. I might have written more, for instance something about legal translation, but my provider has been down. Here's a view from the office window, also from Wednesday:…
Heritage Day/Tag des offenen Denkmals
Transblawg / In Bavaria, the Tag des offenen Denkmals was moved forward to Saturday 9 September to avoid a clash with the Pope’s mass in Munich on Sunday. Other cities may have more (Open House London is on 16 and 17 September this year), but Fürth u…
