You'll be a cool Dad (Based on me actually meeting you)

Aww thanks Don

Both times i took my wife in for our kids, the NHS staff made me feel like a spare part. barking orders at me the first time around, really talking down to me. like they were the worlds biggest spice girls fans.

second time her waters burst in my new car on the way in so i was not in the mood for BS when we rushed into the word. almost got removed for not taking any shit until a doctor turned up and removed one of the midwifes that seemed to be the head bitch.

after that i got talking to a load of the new fathers i got to know, as you do when you have kids, and they'd all see the same treatment from the female midwifes. FUCKING SLAGS.

anyway super chuffed for you man. hope you got all the clubbing done you wanted to, enough to fill the next few years.

I suggest you check out some museums during your stay, especially the Stedelijk and/or Foam - pretty sure you'll enjoy those. The Van Gogh is also good, i've always felt i didn't truly understand his work until i saw it for reals. If you plan to see more than just a few places i advise you rent bikes, it's the proper way to see Amsterdam. But public transportation in the city and from the airport is also excellent. For quality beers go for local breweries such as http://oedipus.com/, you can safely skip most of the tourist shit in the centre. Hope you enjoy your stay and if you have any questions let me know

Cheers, I was thinking about the Van Gogh and maybe a canal tour. I arrive early in the morning and leave fairly early in the evening so I'll probably go around taking photos most of the time. Any restaurants or cafes you'd recommend with a nice view?

I'll let you know when I plan a proper visit with the missus

Keep me posted too Mazda - it's only an hours flight for me

Fixed.

Also watch out for crime from the usual suspects (trying not to sound like a racist) but someone I was with got his phone plucked from his hand by some lovely chap on a bike last year.

Nothing like a broke Romanian on a bike.

Sounds shitty man. My last kid was born through emergency c-section in October last year. The hospital staff guided me through the whole process with lots of care and attention to my (mental) well being. I was relatively relaxed but they wanted to make sure I wasn't detached from reality or something because everything happened really, really quickly.

Cheers, I've learned to keep my eyes on the gypsies as there are lots of them in Scandinavia.

Many friends i have in Europe tell me the same.

I love the NHS, the thought of having to pay for emergency care is terrifying to most brits (and i have private care). I've had to take our youngest in because if a fit and they were stellar then, 10/10 care. It's just spoilt by a few bell ends because they are at odds with different levels of professionals within the NHS. Don't get me started on the so called none doctor specialists with a years training thinking they are important.

Turns out I'm arriving tomorrow in case one of you queers want to have lunch.

Mazdas buying.

and by "have lunch" he means "oily grappling"

i suggest making time for lunching with Mazda!

Just make sure you frisk him for explosives.

Dutchos, your country seems lovely and your people are very friendly. Can't wait to do a proper tour of the NL

Seen Amsterdam, thinks it's representative of the whole of the Netherlands.

here come the rurals

I saw Amsterdam, it's cool but the rest of the country might be a steaming pile of shit regardless of what I know about its people and culture.

Better?

Keyword being "seems". I guess Eraser's one of the rare Dutchos whose English is shit

Good you enjoyed yourself mang

Hope to be able to actually meet you next time instead of changing diapers and missing sleep

So this is happening again, this time with the missus.

Will arrive in Amsterdam October 12th at 6:35am, leaving 8:55pm.

Then again October 30th 1:55pm til October 31st 1:30pm.

Who wants to meet up?

12th is my Birthday but I'll be in Florida
Not sure I'll be able to swing the 30th either :/

Swing by and we'll grab a beer.

I am afraid I'm going full tourist and I'll be in Kissimmee...which I assume you live quite a dap away from you?

Best 1 hr 45 min trip you could make.

I hate Orlando.
