This has been the weekend from hell, seriously. I’m pretty sure that when I opened the door to our flat on Friday night that I walked through some sort of gateway that took me straight into Satan’s bathroom. Let me go back and tell a little more about what was going on… You may want [...]
That’s what I’d say to my teenager if they told me they wanted to sail around the world, climb a mountain people die on, bungee jump, skydive or … oh, I don’t know… roller skate? It’s probably a blessing for my imaginary children that they don’t actually exist because this is one of those times [...]
The above video was taken this evening just after 8pm. It’s our Remembrance Day (Dodenherdenking) in the Netherlands today and during a 2 minute silence at Dam Square in Amsterdam panic broke out. There are a number of stories in regards to what started it all, someone screaming, becoming unwell and knocking a barrier over, [...]
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 [...]
Do you remember ages ago when I made a post about Fox News and their opinions on the Netherlands? Well, the bastards are at it again! Recently a video has come out where Bill O’Reilly gave his backwards opinions on Amsterdam. FU Bill O’Reilly, FU!!! Sometimes I think this is more home than even I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One of the things I hated about gaming, and don’t miss in the slightest, is all the smacktalk that goes on. When you play online games of any kind, you can’t escape the morons who use the games to make themselves feel like less of a loser and spend all their time mouthing off. I [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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?!”. [...]
