This and that and ... who cares it's an entry!

This is a thing of beauty: Berliner? Pfannkuchen? Palatschinken???
(Kreppel! And I wonder about Quarkkeulchen sometimes)

I went bouldering in Yorkshire before this year's work congress. Being all on my own, a 15 minute walk from my car with no mobile reception I, for once, heeded common sense and did not try any hard moves.
(I might have looked a bit less like a deer in the headlight if I had...)

Then I went to said congress. And it's yearly dress up dinner. This year it wasn't fancy dress but black tie.
Boring. But now I know how to tie a bow tie. Useful? Probably not so much.

And now I'll do some maths homework because I've decided to see how far I can stretch my motivation on a distance learning course in civil engineering. See me decide it is too much work in a couple of months...

Pretty. Like a cross between the Doctor and 007.

Bow Ties are cool!

[ridicully]

I wasn't impressed by the amount of guys wearing clip on bow ties.
Wennschon Dennschon!

PFANNKUCHEN!

And wow, you look GREAT! :D

[ridicully]

KREPPEL!


(And thanks :) You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a tuxedo >.< )

Language is fun!
Thank you for that link!

And you really rock that Fliege! Bow tie?

[ridicully]

Language is so much fun. After moving all over the country I appreciate it even more :D

And yep, Fliege, Manschettenknöpfe und Lackschuhe. Das volle Program!

Kreppel!
(And there was that French mother in my son's class who got the job of bringing Pfannkuchen to the (Berlin) school's carnival. She brought Crêpes...

And wow! for your bouldering - looks like lots of fun!

[ridicully]

Finally someone who sees the truth of the Kreppel :D

(Carnival in Berlin is just asking for trouble. But when I imagine the kids' faces and can't stop laughing)

The bouldering spot was great! I need to convince a couple of people to come with me next time. Having a few crash pads would also be useful...

"The truth of the Kreppel" sounds like a very profound movie. Or a cult! (Auch aus Hessen, wa?)

I have seen the mother's face when she realised why people made that absurd request and how much superfluous work she'd done...

I'm more of a rope-and-harness-person myself, but your pic really makes bouldering look like fun. Or something I'd like to be able to do. :)

[ridicully]

It must be a cult. (Alle Hesse' sin' Verbrescher after all!)

O.o the amount of work involved in making enough Crêpes for a whole class of children boggles the mind. The look on her face must have been priceless.

Bouldering is a lot of fun. And doesn't require a second person to belay - which is sometimes a deciding factor on what kind of climbing I'm going to do on any given day.
(Also: Berlin und Umgebung, not so much with the top roping/lead climbing opportunities outdoors. But a few bouldering spots!)

You look great! (In both pics, though I favor the tux)

[ridicully]

Thank you! (The tux, after all, is meant to look pretty. The climbing clothes only need to be comfy :)
