Me + Richard Armitage 
Also, DER Spruch wäre mir jetzt dazu nicht eingefallen 😁 Tacheles reden kenne ich nur mit der Bedeutung: jetzt müssen wir mal ernsthaft und dringend reden. Mit der Betonung in Richtung: jetzt ist aber Schluss mit lustig 😆

I think that’s the side of the current incarnation of Tacheles in Berlin in his photo. That’s why I picked it.

oh, and it’s also down the street (kind of — Monbijouplatz is at the other end of Oranienbergerstr.)

Oweia, ich hab’s nicht kapiert! 😁 But Google sei Dank ist jetzt alles wieder im Lot. Kunst ist nicht meine Stärke 😜 Ja klar, Tacheles redn. Nix blöder, als Witze zu erklären ….

No problem. Probably 90% of readers have no idea what I was talking about. Risk of making obscure jokes.

Und dabei hatte ich mir gewünscht, dass ich zu den verbleibenden 10% gehöre, die annähernd 98,9% deiner Witze verstehen. Alles zu 100 % zu kapieren wäre dann doch unrealistisch 😂

Ach so, und bitte lass mir die Hoffnung, dass ich meistens “glaube” zu verstehen, wovon du redest 😆 Auch wenn du das stark kryptisierst.

In other words, don’t feel bad — not every obscure joke I try to make actually works …

So for this one you’d have to know modern art, German idioms, Yiddish (since I spelled “reden” in the Yiddish style), and the geography of Berlin. Plus that I was trying to use the “straight talk” metaphor to underline the starkness of the moment …

Isn’t the blond lady at the left, Joanna Bending, RA was playing with in “Use me as your Cardigan” in 2002? There are also pics around when both attended a charity event in 2005??

Yup.

Ha!

She has a really distinctive face, although a lot of it is obscured by the lighting. I went back and looked at that 2005 picture and he really doesn’t look any older than he did back then.

He had a slightly different hairstyle and was very, very clean shaven!! 😉

ah…. and yes! His job obviously keeps him engaged/virile and rather youngish.

and looks like a wolf, I think!

Hmmmmm… searching the wolf in him…..?? I think he really looked very slender, almost angular. Both have remarkable noses!!! 😉

he was frightening!

So, no chance of RA running the London Marathon this year. Too much partying going on. I hope they had a good one🍷🍷

Looks like he had some kind of a marathon over the last 6 months! 😀

Indeed. Nice way to spend one’s first day “off,” I think!

Actually (eigentlich – fits perfectly here!) I thought it to be an unusually spy-like, tight lipped Good-bye! Or aren’t there any big thanks necessary this time??? Just wonder….. (Ok, I’m not the world champion in saying ‘Goodbye’!) 😉
LikeLike
who knows … maybe he already suspects he’ll be back? (he said Auf Wiedersehen and not Tschüß ? would he know that). Or maybe he knows he won’t be back and is glad to go?
LikeLike
Ha see, there are at least two possibilities!!! Although the 2nd one sounds rather like……things taking a disagreeable course 😀
LikeLike
well, who knows — the thing is if the principle of the story is that he’s there to catch a whistleblower, it seems to some extent to delimit the boundaries of the story. He’s not a “Berlin regular” —

so who is the lady in the middle?
LikeLike
Carlie Norris, who tweeted the photo. She’s apparently best friends with Jo Bending, whose birthday it was.

Oh, was it Joanna’s birthday then? I was trying to figure out who “my Bessie” was…..couldn’t find any cast or character by that name in EastEnders….

Guessing it’s UK slang for best friend (like some Americans say “Bestie”)

That never even occurred to me, I thought it was more popular there as a proper name than it is here 😀

it could have been a nickname. And now, I don’t know everything 🙂

now that filming has ended, I hope that Mr. Richard Armitage will finally take a break/vacation and spend it with his family/friends, especially his parents or maybe spend some time with them and then take a vacation from everybody and be by himself and try to relax and breathe a little.

I hope that he takes some time off, too. Especially if he has a hangover this morning 🙂
