Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun? | |

Cheers for the suggestions. Chips and mayo I get Ali, but can you give more descriptions on the other gastronomies, I'm a fussy eater... |

There's a great drink ... it's a bit like squash, but made of corn-syrup, and is really nice It's called Sirop |

Slagroom is whipped cream, wafels are waffles, ein broodje kaas is a really tasty cheese roll (the ham ones are yummy too if you eat meat ... I was a carnivore when I lived there), and vanillefla is a thick vanilla-flavoured milk drink ... in a large bottle from the supermarket ... they do other flavours too, such as chocolate, if you prefer. It's all comfort food (baby food!) really, but oddly compelling! :rolleyes: |

Sounds interesting. A workmate recommended we hired bikes...not sure if that would be a good idea if visiting coffee shops

Fairly safe, as there is usually some kind of railing between you and the canal. If you get dizzy you can always dismount and take photos of the wonderful reflections!! (I nearly died in Amsterdam btw, from various different causes! ) |
