Meant to share this with you when I read it at the weekend, but forgot. There it is. And sorry if you saw it...
Anyway... It seems that the last Habsburg crown prince, who died on July 4, aged 98, was once asked at a function if he knew the result of the Austria - Hungary football international. "I don't know," he replied. "Who were we playing?" Well, it tickled me. |

The Habsburgs could usually take it on the chin.
