I'm off

To Holland tomorrow - land of polders, dykes, tulips, iffy cafes, some miserable bint that was locked in an attic and ladies of negotiable virtue.

Sadly I'm taking the kids and the missus (and therefore the car - hence the regret) but we (missus and I) are planning to treat it as a bit of a recce for our second trip in July to see U2...

As for myself I'm still pondering a trip to Arnhem later in the year to croos the bridge on my Monnie...

Back Tuesday, see y'all... :burnout:

Public transport over there puts ours to shame.

Why go to Holland, we've got some perfectly lovely dykes of our own right here in the club. There maybe even one or two tulips (usually called Alice or Saxon), but you may have to look in a few closets for them.

tip

When you take the bike to Amsterdam, if it's two o'clock in the morning, raining hard and you're looking for your friends flat around "de pipe" area, make sure you keep your front wheel away from the tram tracks.

If you don't, you'll end up chewing dutch tarmac with the monster on top of you and the missus, then she'll be highly p*!$ed off and limping around all weekend with a twisted knee - and you'll need new brake levers and a mirror.

i am a stickler for monogamy and always choose the flying rug option when visiting. could be worse, at least you were on holiday.

some people have all the luck, the way of the Ena is making a huge comeback on the chests of styled NY types.

She really should remove that t-shirt.

Go anywhaere but Amsterdam, then you won't be hassled by burnt out hippies and second summer of love refugees asking you for "like a couple of euros to help me get home man". Delft is ok, Rotterdam is horrible, shame on you space.

Yes I know- I wasn't impressed by the whole damned country, but the Euromast is worth going up. Bloody good job I didn't mind heights back then as it was the tallest structure in Europe, with glass floors up the top...
