Another friend […] gathered a group to go to […] a no-frills comfort food restaurant, with a vast menu of classics sold at extraordinarily low prices: the only item in the 11-page menu over 1,000 forints was a bottle of sparkling wine, a reasonable 1,190 forints for 0.7 liters. (Note to self: if ever in Budapest on New Year’s ...)

Many of these classic methods are still used, with some modern improvements. For example, with the aid of special microphones and automated sound detection software, ornithologists recently reported […] that pine siskins (Spinus pinus) undergo an irregular, nomadic type of nocturnal migration.

His trademark was pseudomilitary attire that replaced the customary tailcoat with a uniform complete with a short and stiff jacket, shining brass buttons, a tight belt, a helmet, and a pair of light gloves.

The machines can automatically take account of late running of trains and, if it exceeds a pre-determined amount, can despatch a train out of turn.
