We were going to propose that when we meet in Amsterdam...

By the way, we have already booked our flight and hotel, so I supose you can't delete us from that ugly list (maybes) and write us to the GOOD-PEOPLE-WHO-HAVE-CONFIRMED-COMIGN-FOR-SURE-FOR-SURE...lol

edit: we're arriving late on friday (about 0.30 or so) and leaving sunday 17.30.

As oneo f my challenges for the GTG I decided to master Dutch - had a couple of weeks so I figured no problem to an English guy who can barely speak English.

Looks like I may need more time - say a decade or two - to get anywhere near understanding the throat affliction that is the language of the Nederland. Sigh - I hate to fail :-)

Have to confess that I now know that gekke is crazy but what does "weet" mean??? I suspect it is more Dutch slang along the lines of muts :-)

Ohh, how ugly it is to be on the maybe's list...

I forgot to confirm previously, so consider this message as my confirmation, so I can be removed from the ugly maybe-list.

Time to start singing the Pernod song, methinks!

To quote from the old musical stalwart: "What a swell party this is."

Great!
Not in the mood to type a longer message because I am just back from St. Petersburg and very tired. :)

Saturday evening or sunday I will post the meeting location (same as last time), time schedule and stuff like that.

10/14/2006 06:05:00 AM · #96

Just realised I am on the "good ones" list - and I am devastated! All of my adult life I have tried to come across as mean, hard, a dude to be reckoned with - no more Mr Nice Guy. And what happens? I am on a "good ones" list - again!

PS Hope this message was not offensive to anyone

PPS I am currently decorating a rather large area of the house and need to get it finished before I leave for Amsterdam on Thursday. However, due to work commitments, that just leaves today and tomorrow to do about 3 days work. So instead of getting on with it I am sitting here complaining about being on the good list. It seems that I am more Mr Procrastination than Mr Nice Guy.

The location where we are going to meet next Saturday is "De Restauratie" @ track 1a (in dutch spoor 1a) @ Central Station. This is the same location as in januari and easy to find.

We are going to meet there at 12.00. Half an hour later, when everyone is present, I think we will walk around town a bit and see where it goes. Last time I had this great plan and nothing came of it. :)

I tried to hire a guide, but they were either very expensive or wanted the group splitted up. So no guide. I have a Rembrandt walking route and I think we will walk parts of that route to check out where Rembrandt got all those bright ideas. On the way there will be pubs, probably pannekoeken, have dinner together, drink a couple of beers and stuff like that. When the weather is crap there are plenty musea's and exhibitions to check out. Someone has also threatened to shoot me when we don't do a canal tour.... You know who you are!
When Hanneke goes home I have to leave you for a moment, she has to be at the trainstation by 18.00.

If people want to hang out on Sunday, let's discuss that saturday ok.

Oh, almost forgot: Bring your camera!

BTW, PM me your phone numbers. That way I can call you when something changes at the last moment. I'll PM you back with mine.

@ Az:

- I WILL shoot you when we're gonna do an anal tour.... uuh canal tour.
- thanks for bringing me back there, feels better. I guess you guys are gonna eat after that? :(
- Bring your camera, because I won't bring my DSLR and I need a light-measure-buddy to help me out!

:D

Looking forward to this all!

oh by the way, my hair changed. It's blonde with pink :D
