Remember years ago when I posted about Fox News trashing the Netherlands? Then later about the Dutchie’s response to the ridiculous babblings of Bill O’Reilly? I don’t think it’s any secret that I think Bill O’Reilly is a complete douche, nor do I think it’s an unpopular opinion. He’s a blow hard who hears nothing [...]
If you are a friend of mine on Facebook or have followed me on Twitter, you’re fully aware that my anxiety levels were through the roof this year during the holidays. Mainly between Christmas and New Years.
Why? – Because of the firecrackers, bangers, fireworks and everything else that went off causing my dogs to spin [...]
If I were to make a list of my least favorite places to be here in the Netherlands, it would be here. The waiting room at our local huisartsenpost (kind of like outpatients, where you go outside of office hours, only … different). I took this photo with my mobile while sitting there being miserable [...]
Ok so we had contacted the company that hosts my domain and they said they were going to monitor the servers and see what was going on. This is what they sent to my husband the other day:
We were able to resolve your website without any latency. We suggest you to try with other browsers [...]
If Rex is ever up for eviction in Big Brother UK, VOTE HIS ASS OUT!!! OMG, I don’t remember the last time I ever saw someone on TV, fictional or reality, that I despise as much as this man.
Is anyone else watching this season? I want to climb through my screen and poke his eyes [...]
I was listening to Howard Stern today at work, I know… how cool is that, that I can listen to his show (downloaded mp3) while doing my work… oops, off track…
One of the things they were discussing was Heath Ledger’s death. Right, it’s sad as hell but I’m already tired of hearing about it. So [...]
This week I want Eneco (our current, and soon to be former, energy company) to FUCK OFF AND DIE! Argh, I hate them to the very core of my existence!!
When we got back from Canada we got a huge bill from them that we weren’t expecting, and the entire amount was taken out of [...]
Today I am FOADing the Canadian Embassy in The Netherlands, and possibly the Dutch influence on them. How friggin’ hard can it be to change your surname when you get married?! I mean, seriously!! These people make me insane!
I’ve been trying to sort out a new passport because we are going back to Canada in October on [...]
It’s thundering outside with some lightning but I never bother to look at the lightning here because you can’t actually see it. I wish we got really cool fork lightning here that I could take photos of, but we just get the white sky kind.
The closer it gets to summer the more and more [...]
This week’s Foad goes out to the British. Yes, all of them.
With my first month back to work almost complete, I have spoken to … or rather been hung up on or told off by more British people than I care to mention. In the most polite way possible, of course… they ARE British :P
Seriously [...]
It’s time for Foad Thursday once again. It’s been a few weeks since I took part and I just remembered that there was something I meant to bitch and moan about but was saving for a Thursday.
Spitters. I don’t like them and I’ll never understand them.
I don’t remember a time I’ve ever hawked up a [...]
I’ve been waiting for days to post about this because it is perfect for FOAD Thursday. It’s about those links, the scary ones. The ones people send you and say “Hey, can you see the difference in these photos?!” or “Listen to this song backwards, it’s funny!” or “Read this carefully, can you find the mistake?!”.
The [...]
This week’s FOAD is going out to the pancake makeup wearing, pissy attitude giving, hate-my-job-so-I-will-make-you-miserable waitress bitch I encountered yesterday.
Yesterday I went into town to meet up with a group of other expat women for a bit of shopping and lunch. After mass confusion and not being able to decide where to go for lunch, [...]
Today we at BAM! got our first hate mail!
I expected this of course, since people who put music on their blogs obviously know how much people hate it and keep it there anyway, so they will have some absurd inner rationalization about how we are all nuts and they are like the underdog ‘artists’ of [...]
This week’s FOAD Thursday is being dedicated to the crazy guy on the bus yesterday.
I was on my way to my doctor appointment and just as I stepped on the bus this guy sitting behind the driver turned to look at me. No wait, he didn’t just look at me, he glared at [...]
It’s Wednesday and I’m writing this now and pre-dating it for Thursday as my very first FOAD Thursday post, because I know if I don’t by tomorrow I’ll forget I was ever pissed off about it.
I decided to join in the Foad fun when I came across a post on someone elses blog that reminded [...]
Yesterday our friend Alan came into Rotterdam for a minor “Movie Marathon”. All three of us have the Ulimited Movie Card so we decided to go see a few movies, since we can see as many as we want for “free”.
First we saw Over The Hedge, which was hilariously funny and totally pic worthy.
I [...]
I was just chatting with a former guildmate of mine from WoW, he was telling me about how he went out with some friends the night before to have a few drinks… When this part in the conversation happened, I had this little comic running through my head of me running happily and then [...]
I’m sitting here on a Friday night watching Holland playing Ivory Coast in the World Cup (which we won!) and I decide to check out Flickr, where I’ve recently posted some Oranje photos like the football newbiefan that I am… and this message was waiting:
Hi,
Is it not soccer that you are celebrating with the orange??
Is [...]
