And the "Champion of Devlishness is: Sir Manfred Tinebor!" Just look at the chessy-cat grin. LOL! Great photo of you, Champ!
I enjoyed your "Dies und Das" photos - in spite of several of them being in German and/or Russian. I managed to get my translator working so I could understand what was being said. Even though I've never studied German, often when listening to someone speaking in German, the words sound a great deal like the English language--with a much harsher pronunciation--I am able to understand what the topic of conversation is about. Of all the European languages, I think German would be the easiest for me to learn. Both my beautiful husbands spoke about six/seven languages fluently. Both tried on several occasions to teach me French. That was an absolute disaster. I just slaughtered the French language; too much Southern accent to overcome.
No, no, I'm not a champ! Cycling is just a great fun! :-D English and French languages I learned in school. I tried to learn Russian a little bit by myself. Sadly without success :-| In the youth the learning was easier :-)))
