I live some of the year in Veenendaal in the Netherlands, keep some of my car collection there. We ought to meet up for a beer sometime.

But, Im a professional (don't laugh), and won't be taking the mickey...

but I am finding that I'm actually saying things that previously I'd only thought.

"that's because you've got too many planners and not enough implementers"

"it's time that people started putting their signature's where their mouths are"

they can't fire me for stating the bleedin' obvious

What about "You've only got this job 'cause your mum owns the company."?

Respect where respect is due

Mcquiggd munched through a plate of pig's intestines at a somewhat dodgy Chinese restaurant in the Amsterdam red-light district followed by several rather strong Belgian & Cloggy beers without even *looking* like barfing.

Rumour has it that he then proceeded to yet another bar or three before turning for a light sleep prior to his return to the kingdom of Blair.

Definitely a major loss to contractordom if you ask me...

The 'pigs intestines in white wine sauce' were surprisingly tasty, although the spinal cord was a bit chewy... and thanks for your girlfriend announcing what each unrecognisable lump was before I ate it

Also cheers for the guided tour of the beers - I became quite adept at holding those funny glasses like I was sipping a fine wine, and ended up the next day in a small 'brown cafe' that has a range of 200+, managing to sample enough of them that my Strippenkaart was looking distinctly blurry...

I still can't remember what the Dutch for 'dirty old man' was though Padinka... care to refresh my memory...?

Ah, Padinka and I did wonder if there were more CUKers that hung out in that part of the world... perhaps once I am established 'over there' we can flush some of them out into the open, and maybe share a few Blondes...

Did you see what he did there? Masterful, truly masterful. As you would expect from the old pro that he is.

Bottoms up, Jenever - something I did not get to try (the gin type thing I hasten to add)... seems like there's a few of you just over the border... perhaps a coach trip style CUK Mystery Tour to Bruxelles is in order at some point...
