I would like to go to Copenhagen. Or I would if the drinks weren’t so expensive.
When I cancelled the flights I had to Crete the airline said I could use the money for another booking within the year.
Where to go? Japan and Australia are maybe off-limits. Maybe Chile?
Hmmm.

I seem to have joined the ranks of those who wash up before rather than after meals.
This is less than ideal. I will have to take 10 minutes out of sleep schedule so i have time to cook, wash up and play Dark Souls.

5. Nowhere where the drinks are too expensive
Hmmm…..

Top tip: If it is less than 7.5% abv you can add 100ml of white spirit per can to reproduce the taste you are after. I put it to you, Sir, that you are taking the piss. Not me guv. It's why cans are 440ml, but glasses hold a pint. Room for the zinger and a bit of froth. |

Morning all!
Fucking roiling temperatures last night, giving way to a cooler and more moderate temperatures on Monday. I'll be back with the local weather in half an hour.
TD - frazzled. wacked out. wazzered.
Games - Monster hunter. Smashed in the mud fish thing and the rock monster. Now on to big angry rock monkey. After being ab it lost about what I'd got myself in for, I've now remembered the thrilling marketing for the game - fight big angry rock monkey, Dracula, and some other fucker! To the moon!
Gams - also Sea of Tarts. Its top banana and free were available. 5 stars out of 4 from the G.

If you are feeling really adventurous try Quarry Bonk, Lye or Stourbridge as well. |

In the port of Amsterdam
Where the sailors all meet
There's a sailor who eats
Only fish heads and tails
And he'll show you his teeth
That have rotted too soon
That can swallow the moon
That can haul up the sails

Forget Amsterdam.
Go to Haarlem.
Less tourists, got canals etc,
cheaper and you can still purchase anything that you wish to purchase in Amsterdam.
Copenhagen. You can go there and get ripped off for hash/weed in Christiana.
Then not spend as much on getting ripped off on beer as you're already ripped.

I’m hoping to be able to go to Utrecht in November. I could transfer the money into a flight to Schipol.
I got a late ticket to Crete and had to shell out, so the money I’ve got to use is more than for a standard flight, but I won’t get credit if I spend under the price of the new one. I could maybe go first class to Schipol ...
I wonder what Bermuda is like. I once had a manager from Bermuda. I imagined he was going to be like a cartoon ‘cool dude’ with Bermuda shorts and sunglasses. He turned out to be a very serious man with a moustache ….

Why go to Chile when you’ve got all of the Benelux, right here. There. Across the North Sea.

Though driving from Ghent to Lille in rush hour when there has been an accident closing the road you need out of Lille is a close second.

I would like to go to Denmark, sort of. Though the associations aren’t always good:
Soren Kierkegaard
Mads Mikkelsen
Danish bacon
Anti-Islam
Festen (the film)
Lars Von Trier
I think that’s it. A heady mix.

I watched a couple of Danish films recently: Pusher 1 and Pusher 2. My perceptions are skewed.

South Africa - killer snakes & insects, racists.
Chile - killer snakes & insects, Nazis.

Actually, Australia comes out of this better than I was expecting.
It might be time to rethink Australia.
