AA reader from Düsseldorf, who discovered the following sentence in a “Gala” issue from January, drew our attention to an explosive event: “Rafael van der Vaart and the handball player Estavana Polman are moving to Bulgaria in the summer, where Estavana is replacing Rapid Bucharest in the Champions League will play”, is written there next to a photo of the beaming couple.
It’s either a mistake by “Gala” or, far more dramatically, a mistake by the couple, which should soon lose their radiance. So let’s hope that it’s not too late and that the two haven’t bought an apartment in Bulgaria yet: from Sofia, for example, it takes more than five hours to get to Bucharest, the daily commute wouldn’t last in the long run. And should the mistake lie with “Gala”: Why actually Bulgaria? Bucharest is usually confused with Budapest.
The time difference as a killer
Margot Käßmann and her boyfriend live in different cities, namely Hanover and Gießen, which according to Käßmann is very practical: “When I come to him, he has cleaned up and cooked, the other way around is the same”, she tells “Frau im Spiegel”. . If both lived together, it would probably be untidy and the fridge empty. Kylie Minogue and her boyfriend had to cover even longer distances, who, according to “Frau im Spiegel”, have now separated because, according to an insider, “the time difference was a killer”: She lives in Melbourne, he in London, so “17,000 kilometers and twenty flying hours apart”. Not easy, of course, but on the other hand there is plenty of time for cooking and cleaning up.
Sometimes they have time for each other before midnight: Lindner and Buschmann

Party friends Christian Lindner and Marco Buschmann live closer to each other, who responded to the “Bunte” question as to whether he could also call Lindner at midnight: “I actually sometimes call him at midnight. But that’s because we both have time.” A moving performance – midnight conversations between two men who only feel freer when the rest of political Berlin is asleep, in a way that they would never have been able to do under the awake Habecks and Scholzens . Should Buschmann and Lindner become estranged from each other, each of them could also be considered as a new partner for Kylie Minogue: If you like to make calls at midnight, no matter how big the time difference, you can’t be afraid.
A tip from Buschmann
“Bunte” can also elicit from the Minister of Justice that he was a very good student, but of course not a nerd. When asked whether he had had classmates copy them out, Buschmann replies in a typical politician’s evasive manner: “I’d even rather give people a tip so that they got through.” This FDP principle of motivating personal responsibility was certainly well received during class tests: “Psst, Marco, what is the result of task seven?” – “I’m sure you can figure it out yourself. My tip: You could use Newton’s iteration method, you’ve probably heard of it.”
As a hobby DJ, Buschmann could have commented on the choice of music at David Hasselhoff’s daughter Taylor-Ann’s wedding. When her father walked her down the aisle, The Verve was playing the song “Bittersweet Symphony,” which has downright depressing lyrics with lines like “Have you ever been to the bottom?” or “You’re trying to make ends meet and some money collect, and then you die”. We would have thought that the Hasselhoffs would be doing a little better financially. The father’s biggest hit, “Looking For Freedom”, would not have suited a wedding well, but rather a party conference of the FDP.
As we can see from “Bunte”, chef Anton Schmaus named a restaurant bar after an album by the Rolling Stones: “Sticky Fingers”. Apparently there is cutlery there anyway. If the Stones fan Schmaus wants to open more houses, there are other album titles from his favorite band: “Beggars Banquet”, the beggars’ banquet, for example for a student kitchen, “Let It Bleed”, let it bleed, for an economy with house slaughter and “Goats Head Soup” as the name of a place for those who like to experiment and want to slurp up a goat’s head soup.
Pop singer Guildo Horn has just celebrated his 70th birthday, although he was only 60, “Bild” knows. “You age faster as a pop singer,” explains Horn. “I’m just celebrating in advance. And when I announce 70, everyone says, ‘What? He looks a lot younger!'” Shortly before our 52nd birthday, we wanted to try that right away, especially since the “colorful” horoscope for us Pisces said: “Go out and collect compliments!” We so we went out and spread the word that we’re going to be 62. And we actually got a compliment: someone said we must look five years younger.
