OK, we'll call it quits... but don't let me see you hanging out in dimly-lit Cribbage halls when you're 90 telling this tale to impressionable youngfolk!
Purely to annoy you, I'm calling BS on this comment.
Make with the proof or I shall forever assume that you were whipped 2 or 3 times in a row by the computer and then came up with this "the computer gets a better hand theory" in desperation.
What's happening in the Netherlands?
I've been living here for the last 3 years and haven't noticed any massive changes... perhaps I'm reading the wrong newspapers, eh?
I'm an Irishman living here 2.5 years. The missing out on the 30% ruling must have really kick you in the nads, I am still on it and I pay 28% of my gross (~euro180k) on tax. (It's actually closer to 35% until you factor in the mortgage-interest refund).
Having lived in Dublin most of my life, and Porto, Portugal for 6 months, and London for 6 months I can say that traffic here is non-existent compared to the other places! I bicyle 15k each-way to work everyday unless it's a lightning storm or I'm diabolically hungover, and I find the public-transport is cheaper than Dublin.
I absolutely love the vibe in Amsterdam, and the city certainly FEELS a lot safer than Dublin, except perhaps in the Red Light District, but I only go there to show visitors around.
I'm making slow progress at learning Dutch, but in general most people are receptive to my attempts. For me, and of course it's a personal thing, I cannot see any downside to living here, and I think the whole Muslim issue is being blown out of proportion. Things in Northern Ireland were 1000 times worse for 30 years solid and that never led to WWIII or whatever the right-wing nuts are predicting will happen here.
Interesting point!
Now all you need to do is write a treatment for a screenplay. Set in the future, everyone else is teleporting around willy-nilly apart from the good old catholics, fill in the blanks, 4. profit???
Lemme tell ya, same thing applies if you believe you *ARE* an omnipotent being!
In other news, I've just seen a large airliner escorted by what appeared to be 2 fighter jets heading towards Schophol airport. Interesting!

Excuse me?
Care to back that up a little?
Pass me that spliff man ...
I have an occipital bun and the bridge row thingy ... a quick spliff and I'll be painting caves with my soul.
Cheers dude! I'm doin' my best! =)
Couple of quick points.

But not in The Netherlands, since the start of this year.
Was it the Sun who had the story of the 16 year old girl with all natural 34KK boobs? Oh mercy! No wait ... it wasn't the Sun ... it was the Star.

It's this sort of attitude that causes wars and poverty and famine and rape. I hope you're happy with your work here today.
I never ever heard the word "mote" before, you learn something new every day ...
Ha ha, no mod points, sorry, but I like it!
And you missed the (admittedly misquoted) Simpsons reference. Shame on you.
Aiii'!
So you only want Americans posting to your blog?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh x? I thought Hex was 0-9 then A-F???
Chimps give great head, no beers necessary.
Whaddya mean "when I had the chance" are they not available anymore?
Ha ha, how is this flamebait? It's hilarious! Not to mention true!
Hup Oranje!
Ha ha, nicely done. Understated, but the timing and pace are spot on.
Why on earth is parent modded a troll? The GP makes absolutely no sense to me either ...
