Quoted from Geoff


You mean there's actually a place where there isn't shopping on Sunday? I think one of my credit cards just had a stroke.



Copenhagen! Coming from England, where everything is open seven days a week, I find it a right royal pain in the ar*se.

Quoted from Joost
I have the feeling that some Americans see the Democrats vs. the Republics as left vs. right, but for Dutch political standards that's more like moderate right vs. far right...

Thanks for that perspective, Joost. I'm obviously much more "left" than most of my countrymen. For example, I have a "Democratic" senator now, with whom I disagree at least 70% of the time. The Republican I used to have I disagreed with 98% of the time. I feel neither of them represents my viewpoints regarding environmental or social responsibility.


All you've got to do is choose love.  That's how I live it now.  I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden.  I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

I'm used to things being open 24/7. I'm the sort of guy who'll go grocery shopping at about one o'clock in the morning because that's about the time I'll get hungry and discover there's nothing in my fridge except for four strawberries and an ounce or two of orange juice. If I'd had to wait for morning for something to open I'd have been arrested by now for hunting squirrels.

The squirrels are lucky you don't live in Germany  
No shopping on sundays and between 10 pm and I think 6 am.


Exception is petrol stations, but they are expensive.


I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place

Actually, I'm probably lucky: me with a gun is like Wile E Coyote with a stick of dynamite.
