 rubschin: Well if we are willy waving I could list the 37 hotels I have stayed in over the years that I have been visiting Holland but it really would be boring.

I could bang on about having been stationed at RAF Laarbruck which, as any fule know, is just across the border in Germany and thus mention all those happy shopping trips in Venlo and excursions to Amsterdam and other Dutch cities but that too would be boring.



In fact you could go to Bournemouth ~ lovely at this time of the year.

But I wasn't so I didn't...

I haven't been there, but I went to Ostend a couple of times on football tours, does that count? Never played any football mind. Mind you, like BM I was flying for a while man...

Definitely a good place.  Van Goch Museum and Haarlem and you can have a day at the sea, go by train to the sea.  Lovely.
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

My lasting memory of Amsterdam is the streets being paved with dog turds.

Presumably something to do with having waterways where the turf should be.

I have been there and had a lovely time.  I have been told a tale of a stag 'do' by a chap I knew years ago who went, had his name and hotel printed onto a piece of paper which was attached to his breast pocket, he drank so much that he threw up, however he caught it in his hands and deposited it in a pocket. sick2:

Reported before but  worth repeating. Many years ago I went on a werk conference to a small hotel near Canterbury. Much collapso was consumed. I found a Head of Faculty asleep on a couch the next morning. He was in Room 16 but had got his key fob upside down and, after fruitlessly searching for Room 91, had packed up and collapsed  noooo:
