The worlds first telephone directory was issued in 1878.
A single sheet listing 50 subscribers.

The last person to dial Directory Enquiries in 1878 had their call answered in 1965.

I did try to save it with a silly pineapple post, but nope, this is picking up traction now..

Nothing silly about pineapples, lovely (even on Italian pies)

So what you're saying is that the prosecution works, as they caught the criminal and sentenced them or will do according to their crimes? Ok, cool.

For the second article - corruption exists outside of the Balkans? Deary me, unbelievable!

Our prosecutor general was hired by the ex-communist defacto mafia dictators (second link from earlier protest here) - a fact known and well documented everywhere. The same ones who buy their way into being the leaders of the country, and as they're the leading party - nothing can be done against them while they hold all the power. We had a massive protest less than a month ago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Bulgarian_protests as I cba finding other sources, it's mostly linked in the article - and it's not even the first ones we've had, all due to deep-rooted self-serving corruption.

So, in that sense, "they hired a company/person they favoured for a year and were found guilty and taken off their high position" is a win, yes, good job.

I know you and how you were banned from the CA forums and remember for what, and I know you think you know better than me about where I live and how things are here because you've read about it somewhere daft, but I was on the streets for those protests and will be again when the Kremlinites and mafia members try to put it in an entire country's collective ass for their own gain.

And to be on topic and not get this thread locked up - 1878 was a great year. Everton, other things lads. 1878.

It was a great year,and I've never been banned from any forum in my life, enjoy your day.
