For example there was a whale in the river thames in london the other day. that was interesting to say the least.
Nope, nothing ever happens here.
They're building more houses here in my town, nothing else to report.

Yesterday we had the (almost) famous WIK open Darts tournament in Enschede ;D
Today nothing worth to mention
today i am in nottingham and dragonforce are playing tonight MEGA
Big Brother has finally finished.
Finally.
We had a French market in Acton this weekend...
We had some local politicians searching for voters yesterday. Some of them gave the "mere mortals" some balloons, some gave a red rose...
And i got nothing!!! :'(
;D
MAD.
We're having "bathe in waste" for the fourth week in a row. There's a strike that involves the garbage collection, which is about raising the weekly work amount from 38.5 to 40 hours...
waaaaaaah, someone tell them that in "real life", i.e. not in civil services, people are used to having 40 hours in their contracts but working 50 hours anyways....
Yuch!
What a bunch of wieners!
About 5 weeks ago, Bouge and I were in town, and there were two people dressed as pirates parading about, I didnt have a clue what was going on so i asked a police woman and she didnt even know. Talk about weird!
My Learned friend has forgotten to mention the fact that not only were they dressed as pirates, one was being pulled along on a trolley/pirate ship by the other and singing and dancing, songs such as "in the navy", while trying to get us to join in. I reluctantly did, and made an idiot of myself! Oh well!
He also neglected to mention that we stalked (I mean followed :)) them for atleast an hour!

They can sue you for that. ;)
MAD.
Only if they see us ;)
Actually, I think they did cotton on, they offered many people the chance to pull along their ship, but we were never offered; a real shame really, probably thought we would run off with it!
Bouge
As a direct reply to the topic: Probably nothing.
Do you want to know what's happening in my town today?
At this very moment there's a guy who makes it possible to have a super fast internetconnection.
We will get fibreglass cable.
It's 20 times faster than what I have now (now I have ADSL connection). Woohoo.
When I post again it will go a lot faster! ;D

This week, so also today, there's a fair here in Vianen. Must add though that it's not very interesting.
Imagine yourself "small" and believe me, this fair is even smaller. :(
My daughter liked it though. ;)
We have a fun fair in Ealing, West Londinium at the moment. They want £1 just to get in, and then we have to pay for the rides!
Bollocks to that! >:(

Today there's a jazz party in the town. I'm not sure what to expect, but then again I'm not going. ;D
But my daddy goes.
I'd be most surprised if anything were to happen here... "Can't happen here, 'telling you, can't happen here..."
Who was that?! 8)
Yesterday we had a fair here in Vianen, which was pretty nice but there wasn't really anything usefull. Lots of food, lots of bands 'trying' to make some music and lots of stalls with, as i mentioned earlier, with lots of ehm...nothing actually.
To make a long story short: Didn't buy much yesterday. :-\ *horns*
Edit: Yay, I'm the king. ;D
We've been to some kind of festival....
Damn... i've never been to such a cheap festival.
Several cultures but man looking cheap....
Worthless... and a waste of time.. :(
Here in Enschede we have an International Market this week. A lot of stands with stuff from other countries. Looks pretty cool, but man, why do they have to play that hideous arabic music so loud >:( (Like they don't have normal music in Turkey ::))
Not really in my town but my parrents in law lives in De Meern, The Netherlands and they were having a party today due to their 40th wedding aniversary. The evening started off good with Blof but unfortunatly, music wise that was the highlight of the evening. It went pretty fast down hill from there.
Let's see: Froger*, Borsato*, some skyradio stuff, Joling* and so on and so on. :-X :'( :-\
But the beer tasted good though, and besides the music we actually had a really good time out there. *horns*
Up to the next 40 years i'd say. 8)
*some dutch characters who think that they can sing. :-\
Well. Froger and Borsato can sing (They have good voices), they only chose the wrong genre... ;)
here is celebration .. all July - Lithuania B-day 1000y :)
Cool! Paaarty :D
I live in a town called Bedford and every two years, we celebrate what we call a River Festival which is when everybody goes to the river and there are fairground rides, markets, all sorts of food stalls, a ferris wheel (which the radio stated was like a miniture version of the london eye), live bands playing (the bands are from the counties schools ans stuff but theyre fun) and all sorts of goodness takes place at this event. The River festival took place Saturday and Sunday and the evening finished with fireworks and a hot air baloon went up glowing nicley in the night sky.
It was a rather hot weekend for such an event and the ammount of people there didnt help. Overall, it was fun.

Does remember me when I was going to a music shop where they were playing house music awfully hard, that made me go to the concurrent next door. I'd rather hear Turkish music than house!!
Today I take my kid to a festival in Venlo.
Iheard there where many things for kids to do so... we'll see.
I just hope I don't get a big mouth when we return back home... I really hate that >:(
Hope you have fun debs! (And not a 'grote mond' ;))
Last couple of weeks there happens a lot in our town. In our part of the city (wijk) which is called 'Vathorst', there's a lot to do.
It's even so much that I wouldn't know what they're doing right now.
Well actually, it's a lot of shit anyway.

I wouldn't mind if it was cowshit which is (in my opinion) waaaaaaaay better than dogshit.
Better yet, give me a hundred euros and I'll dip my nose into it.

That's the good thing with cats they dig it under, so you don't have to take it away. Not so fine is it that they do it in a children's sandpit, if they do it in the garden than sometimes they plough away some plants with their legs, not nice either.

I think it's enough for now..(the rest of the year)
Man he really doesn't know when to quit...
Please don't come up with me with... he's only a kid....
For a 4 year old kid he can be very VERY ungratefull :(
BUT.............. I really enjoyed it seeing him having so much fun for these two days ;D :D
Not today but yesterday (saturday) a bunch of very, very, i mean very expensive cars came riding through Vianen. It was a part of some charity event, don't know the details, and they drove through a couple of cities in the vicinity of Utrecht if i'm correctly.
The cars my daughter and i saw were astonishing. Cars like Porsche Boxter and 911 Carrera, Ferarri Enzo, Lamborgini Diablo and Bugatti. 8)
I'd be very rich if i could affort only one of them. :-\
Unfortunatly they didn't stop. :(

It was very cool to see indeed!
:'( too bad I didn't see them...I love that kind of cars :P.....
Quote(...) Ferarri Enzo (...)
:o Talk about expensive...That's really an awesome car. It's costs about 990.000 euros, a bit too much if you ask me :P
some family of neighbours of us own a Ferrari 360. MAN that thing is soooo awesome. I can hear them coming into our street, VROEMMMM 8)
QuoteUnfortunatly they didn't stop.
Hehehe bummer :P it's really annoying if those cars are 'showing they're engines off' they can produce a MEGA amount of noise.

A few years ago i made a instroduction book for the car and in it there were all the specifications of the car and the price. That scared the hell out of me. :o Awesome pictures btw. Still have that book up the attic.
And no. I won't sell it or give it away to anyone. :P 8)
QuoteAnd no. I won't sell it or give it away to anyone. :P 8)
Hehehe :D
I got the 'carros' (some kind of catalog from all cars of that year) where the Ferrari Enzo specifications are in. Really mindblowing... But in that catalog in another car that is even more expensive then the Enzo....The Bugatti Veyron....THAT car has 5 radiators... :o just 2 of them are there to cool the turbo's on that thing...It has 1001 breakhorsepower and a top speed of 406 KM/h (253 Miles an hour). You will never get late for work that way :P. It costs about 5 million dollar to build. But only a few were made
It's a drving death machine....I LOVE IT :P 8)

It's Queens-day in Holland so it's interesting almost everywhere. ;D
Yep, in Vianen (the Netherlands, where i live ;)) we have three days of interesting stuff happening.
Every year we have this thing called 'Nationale Sleepboot Dagen' which roughly translated in English would mean 'National Tug-boot Days', where a lot of Tug-boats enter the vast(!) harbour of Vianen (;D). What you get is a nice collection (+150) of Tug-boats, old and new. There some pretty nice ones between them.

In what way do I disagree with Maddox on Dream Theater?
Dream Theater is one of my favourite bands, take a look at my listenings profile.
The only thing I can think of, is that Systematic Chaos is not quite the album I wanted Dream Theater to make. That's mostly because of the lyrics!! But musically it is really good, although it could've been better in some places.
Threshold's latest album is better in my opinion.
And by the way, if I want to kill, I make reasons!

So, today is the Oldtimer day in Vianen.
A lot of old cars and trucks are driving their rounds through the city and will be parking on the main street.
Made a few pictures and there are some great cars between them.
Lovely.
Today, it is the St Jean, special occasion for a feast and a fun fair in the town for all the week-end.
It being a summer weekend, as usual what is happening in my town is lots of loud lawn-maintenance equipment in use while I'm trying to sleep. Most likely someone's plotting to raise property taxes again too. :P On the plus side, I will be traveling to another place, where there will be heathen festivities, including beer and Nicky-approved food.

Well, for starters it was quite wet.
Wet is what has been going on all month In Jax Florida. Got 2 inches today and another 2 inches expected tomorrow. We are 10 inches above normal for the year, and a tropical storm now developing. Half of downtown is flooded, and about 15 streets closed due to flooding. More time to listen to music cuz sure don't want to be driving.
Some b*gg*rs've made off with the cash machine (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/8275262.stm) from my local bank. This was the second nearest machine to my house, although how near it is now is anyone's guess!

A new sculpture has been unveiled in our county town, complete with some bits to stop folk climbing on it. Inevitably some Herbert will see this as a challenge (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/8286961.stm).
This marks the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin, we're told. I presume he was the inventor of the Slinky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slinky)...

I have to say it is asking to be climbed, especially after a few drinks.
It's a bit like asking people to refrain from climbing on the lions in Trafalgar Square.
