Dieter is not a first name I expected to see outside of Germany.  :hmm:

Is this the part of the show when we dance?

I am sure there many, if not too many, Dieters in Ibiza. ;)
I take it by now, for you, Austria is just Outer Bavaria.  :D

Dieter is not a very common name in Austria.

He who controls the lettuce controls the salads.

Apparently there's medieval guild for that.

It's funny to look at The Sun's reporting on this. So much OUTRAGE. And the comments... :lol:

That's what I said! :D :D
