Of Yum, Manners And Age

Ingo had an idea for Friday night:
Go to the steakhouse.
And the Christmas markets - as rain was predicted for the coming days again.

So, at first we went and had a mulled wine, blackthorn this time.
A couple popped up beside us and the man demanded "I get (whatever)".
Ummm. Do you?
I really do not like when people speak like this.
"I´d like...", "can I have..." and usually I end with a "please", too.
By golly, I´m so old-fashioned, I´m a pain, huh? ;-)

But, ya know. There are real people who, in thick clothes, take care you get your hot mulled wine, eggnog or whatever.
You can ask nicely, right?
How about you, do you ask or do you demand - you pay, after all...

At the Steakhouse...

The 30-something couple at the window had (surprise) steak.
In a Steak-House.
Without steak knives. Maybe their first time and the waitress did a bad job - they used normal knives and fought their way through, it hurt seeing it.

Then another couple in their mid-twenties took the table between the other couple and us.
The woman ordered her steak "gut durch", well done, he ordered french fries instead of potatoe - outchy.

Ours was, as always, super yummy, with a good crust, yum!

We then took off and people shook their heads at me again cause I took...

Yep.
But it´s nice, no?

Let´s go for the real thing:

Last time I did this must´ve been around 2003, when we were no externals but in a team with th VW-guys.
And I felt too old even back then, hence:

Do you dare to skate?
I still have a pair of skates, you can see I´ve been outside with them:

Once. And it was awful, I´m too afraid to fall.
Back then you couldn´t stop me, skates, skateboard, you name it, I fell and got up again (no knee-/ellbow-protection, we got blood here! ;-)...).
I have to admit: I´m too old for that now (but don´t they look nice?).
Are you still into such sports?
