If you’re lucky enough to learn a language at school, take it. It might take you on exchanges to France, Germany and Spain, a year abroad, student adventures, fun times. You might interpret Albanian in Kosovo, teach Romanian, work with Farsi and Chinese - and discover a whole new life along the way.

Ich hab mal in nem Kaffeehaus gearbeitet, in dem großen Wert darauf gelegt wurde, dass wir unbedingt Konfitüre sagen, wenn es sich nicht um Zitrusfrüchte als Basis handelte. Während die Gäst:innen natürlich weiter nac "Marmelade" frugen.

Just read the word ‘frugen’ - as past tense (plural) of the verb ‘fragen’. Never seen that before, and a quick google reveals that it’s old-fashioned or perhaps regional. Anyone know where it’s used?

Only realised recently that here in Franken, we say ‘frägt/frägst’ instead of ‘fragt/fragst’.

But the lie, peddled by this vile, racist grifter is halfway around the world ..

'oscarisée'… c'est un vrai mot, ça?

found a bike thing that i could easily beat Pogi at

I'm not sure it was clear in this post - Hezekiah (under his ring name of Ching Hook, that surname spelled a variety of ways) was a FOUNDING member, elected at the first meeting to confirm members. Alec might have been. Cool, huh? He'd been boxing in London for four years at that time 🐻🥊

🇧🇪 Remco Evenepoel settles for second behind 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar in 🇧🇪 Soudal-QuickStep farewell at 🇮🇹 #ILombardia

“The moment when Tadej attacked, the pace was already so high, it was impossible to react, so I had to do my own rhythm, my own pace.”

I’m not a Tadej fan either

Although I could be persuaded if he want rogue and joined Lotto

😂

I do follow many riders at U23 level too

Thanks for your answers though- I’m always there to be pushed and question myself

If Sharar Ali is that much against @zackpolanski.bsky.social then I know Zack must be the right person for the future

East Berlin, 9 September 1959. I post photographs taken on my Berlin visits in the 1950s and 1960s. 180 historic street images of East and West Berlin are in my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publishing). #Berlin #DDR #GDR

What’s the FA Cup?

Oh it’s a one day event in August …

So many joyful posts on here about FA Cup day, tin foil cups etc. There'll be none of that bollocks from us, we can assure you. 😐

The only thing that can stop him is bad luck/mechanicals or the terrain (MSR, Roubaix so far) or weather (Amstel). If this post proves to be incorrect today I will be both surprised and overjoyed.

Alternatively push him to brake even earlier and rattle him

Obviously nobody wants to see him injured or crash (surely not?) but get into his mindset about being cautious
