Saturday 10 February 2007 at 12:18 pm

You never quess what i've found in the Xenos: Tesco's original pickle!!! (for only 40p (for the Dutchies amongst us: 60 eurocents)) 

I'm happy!!! (i still had some anyway, but hey, more pickle is always good ;-))

Something fishy?

Saturday 10 February 2007 at 12:04 pm Fatty fish will never be the same... From today onwards white fish, deepfried, with a coat of flour and eggs (like 'kibbeling') will be classified as 'fatty fish' (at least in that way, we can still have it when we make our lifestyle change) Lees verder

Alarm!

Thursday 08 February 2007 at 3:30 pm A weather alarm for heavy snowfall: 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches in a day). Schools are closing early. Public transportation stops. The government advises people to stay inside. Do not let the Canadians, Norwegians or Russians hear this...

Off the trolly...

Tuesday 06 February 2007 at 9:13 pm I must admit i'm a bit astonished by what i heard on the BBC today... (and i can't find any info on their site

Honey will be classified as junkfood?!?! Other 'healthy' foods as All-bran, marmalade (i don't think of marmalade as being very healthy, but hey, that's me), and, here it comes, porridge, are also junkfood?!?! But a small bowl of chips isn't?!?!

Weekend tales (2)

Monday 05 February 2007 at 6:06 pm On account of Saint GlinGlin (my families' own kind of Christmas or Sinterklaas) we've exchanged home made gifts in the family. For my uncle, a huge Robbie Williams fan, I've made a "Rock DJ" costume: a black underdrawer with a tiger patch and a white undershirt with a red "11". The next morning I asked if he could show his new costume. "I already have," he said. And with a big smile he explained: "But you weren't there..."

Weekend tales (1)

Monday 05 February 2007 at 5:36 pm After pooring juice in a cracked glass, my aunt annouces a bit irritated: "That's the third broken glass today." As a reaction, my grandpa lifts his glass and examines it closely. After an intense look he says: "It sure isn't broken, but it IS empty." And happily poors himself a second wiskey...

Stories of a weeping buddha

Wednesday 24 January 2007 at 2:38 pm A long, long time ago there were two warriors who confronted each other in numerous battles. Both of them wore masks and never saw each other's face. After many such encounters, one finally prevailed and the younger warrior was killed. Upon removing his opponents mask the older warrior discovered he had killed his own long lost son. He placed his head in his lap and filled with sorrow, the brave old warrior started to cry. Lees verder

Blown away

Friday 19 January 2007 at 3:12 pm Question: what would you do if there were gusts of wind with the power of a hurricane? Stay in like the goverment suggested? Spend the night at the train station? Skip class before a crane comes plungering in through the roof? Or would you go out and buy yourself some tampons? Lees verder

Fantastic view

Monday 15 January 2007 at 5:48 pm "What is that robot-like-building near the big white bridge?"

"Do you mean the apartments and the cranes near the football station?"

Bonjour?!

Monday 15 January 2007 at 5:40 pm I'm used to hearing "goedemorgen", "good morning" or "günaydin". Even the sound of "buon giorno", "sbah lkhir", "dzien dobry" and "Guten Morgen" do not make me raise an eyebrow. But today a melodic, incomprehensible language, spoken like a verbal diarrhea reached my ears. I was totally and utterly flabbergasted. It took several minutes before I realized: it's French!
