Deadspin So PSG - Paris Saint-Germain rolled yet another French team today. Shocker.
PSG Are Hampered By How Horrible Ligue 1 Is
deadsp.in
Paris Saint Germain played Lorient in the league today. And they won. Just like they have in each of their last eight matches, and 17 in their last 18, and 30 in their last 33. That’s because as good as PSG undoubtedly are, Ligue 1 sucks.

The First World War Diaries of Stapleton Tench Eac 7/12/16
Very dull and cold today.
Everything appears to be at a standstill at present and there is nothing at all worth jotting down here.
We shall soon have Christmas here but I shall spend it I presume in a vastly different way to the last.
It Read more ... is a year ago at the moment since I was travelling along the Mediterranean and out into the bay of Bis on my way to my beloved country.
I remember we were all so happy on board the hospital ship and our hopes were running high with the prospect of spending Christmas at home in the dear homeland after our long Eastern travels.
I shall never forget that most pleasant of all voyages as long as I live. It was pleasant in all respects and unmarred by the knowledge of facts, which I was destined to face.

Suffren was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, launched in July 1899.
She was named after French Vice Admiral Pierre André de Suffren de Saint Tropez. The ship was originally intended to be a modified version of the Iéna design with more firepower and better armour.
Before World War I Suffren had an eventful career as she twice collided with French ships and twice had propeller shafts break. She was quickly sent to the Dardanelles after the beginning of the war to reinforce British forces already there.
Suffren joined the British ships in multiple bombardments of the Ottoman fortifications at the mouth of the Dardanelles. She was moderately damaged during the major action of 18 March 1915 and had to be sent to Toulon for repairs. Upon their completion she returned to provide gunfire support for the Allied forces during the Gallipoli Campaign.
The ship provided covering fire as the Allies withdrew from the peninsula and accidentally sank one of the evacuation ships. After repairs she was assigned to the French squadron assigned to prevent any interference by the Greeks with Allied operations on the Salonica front. While en route to Lorient for a refit Suffren was torpedoed off Lisbon on 26 November 1916 (reported 7th December 1916) and sunk with all hands.
