      The longer I live in NL, the less I want to be Dutch.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        Dutch are like Germans without the sense of humour, apparently...

          You can't keep it up on your own? Is that really something to broadcast on t'interweb?

              I employ a Gurkha, as a guard, and a punka-wallah to fan me when I get hot.

              The gurkha, I saved when I was visiting the hindu Kush and he works for nothing, saying that his 'abunger' is mine. He was about to be executed , when I intervened to save him, and now he owes his life (not to mention his abunger) to me. Apparently he asked for tea and a scon, instead of tea and a scone, a serious misdemeanor in some parts.

              The punka wallah, is after residence in the country, so I owe him no loyalty and pay the minimum wage (although he does wipe the grandsons abunger when the kid has the runs)

                I don't have what you would call staff, but Darcus Howe has turned up at my house a few times with a film crew.

                  I am the staff. I'm sure DimPrawn would approve.

                      Our postman has been here for the last three years and waves to me if we pass in the street. He'll get a Christmas card with a "thanks" in it for not waking us up in the morning when he can just leave it on the porch.

                      Our bin men used to be great but now they are just renta-drones who do the job to the lowest acceptable standard. They can f off.

                      The Cleaner get's an extra weeks pay at Christmas, the gardener (me) gets a free night out with the lads. All other "staff" are under the age of 16 and pay me for the privilege of sweeping the chimneys.
