But surely you were at that starting point when you were young and left it behind as you grew up so how can that develop you? Can you think of an example?

I think the older you get, the more you forget.

My wife and middle child were in the swimming pool changing rooms. A lady with a large ass came in and started changing, my middle child said, at the top of her voice, about the size of the ladies ass.

Trying to explain that to a 5 year old, and a 9 year old is an entirely different experience; one understands, or is starting to understand beig polite, the other one you are teaching to be honest.

I'll come back to another explanation once I return from town.

Its gets better as they get older, as they start understanding humour and things like irony. They also start asking questions that make you think differently, as they ask them from a different starting point, which actually develops you too.

But **** me, when they're young, it drives you insane.

Yes, kids are like that as well.

I was queueing behind a woman with a small child yesterday, and it was just constantly talking drivel (the child that is). How do people put up with this? I pity people who have this all the time, talk about ruin your life.

I was in a meeting with 3 high level managers and exactly the same sentiment occurred to me.

Rijksmuseum and van Gogh museum are both worth a visit, there are some nice shops outside of the 'more touristy' area as well.

Anyway, with 3 kids, you don't tend to think about sex anymore, given you're so frightened touching another woman would give you another one...

Nemo Science centre's worth a visit;

NEMO

A bit simplified for the geeks, but fun nonetheless.

If you want to see an old Dutch town, get the train to Haarlem (about 15 minutes); much nicer, good restaurants and the original old town centre's still intact; They have another science museum to; Teylers. And yes, they have independent contractors.

FTFY.

Watch out for the beggars old boy. I found them the most aggressive and persistent in Europe.

Time to ban this dull sockie, which is now in its 3rd incarnation, methinks.

What, because I called you a twat? Man up you simple dullard.

[sasguru]

Oh shut up you simple man. What else would you go there for if you aren't going to pay for the sex?

Ah, I see.

Stag night son, stag night.

Twat.

Jeez, you really are a terminally dull cliche, aren't you? Bloke goes to Amsterdam and gets stoned, whatever next

Getting your own boat around the canals is a fantastic way to see the city. Please remember to untie the ropes, however, if you have been in one or two of the cafes, as people tend to laugh lots if you don't. If you visit the cafes, please ensure you don't before the awards, and most especially do not avail yourself of the variety of 'coffee' named after a black and white mammal that can make you smell quite bad. If you do, prepare to not remember much about an eveing spend wondering around in a state of unconciousness, with yuor willy hanging out. Apparently.

Anne Frank lived there. That's pretty much all you need to know about that.

There are some interesting animal shows, with rather attractive ladies who help them perform.

MF may spend €50, but that's why he is covered in lesions, warts and dead tissue. Up the budget and enjoy yourself with a proper lady, not the ones that also have a willy
