Amsterdam started a 'stay away' campaign aimed at Brits. Nothing to do with Young master Smokie though. The target group is 18 to 35 year old British men. "Amsterdam launches 'stay away' ad campaign targeting young British men Amsterdam has warned rowdy British sex and drug tourists to "stay away". A digital discouragement campaign targeting men aged 18 to 35 in the UK is being pushed out by the Dutch city's council. The initiative forms part of efforts to clean up Amsterdam's raunchy reputation as Europe's most liberal party capital. Typically blunt, the videos show young men staggering in the street, handcuffed by police, finger-printed and having their mugshots taken. The online ads, highlighting the risks associated with the excessive use of drugs and booze, will be triggered when people in Britain tap in terms like - stag party, cheap hotel or pub crawl Amsterdam." www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65107405 |

I'm usually sipping espresso down at De Pijp...not swigging Heineken in the red light swamp.
Similar could be said for lower Sukhumvit one supposes.

A feller in the pub told me that. |

Have you noticed how you need to use a license for most things these days, dogs, driving, TV, fishing, using software.....now reading. Do you get fined if you don't have one?

I suppose you're classed as too right-wing for the recent vacancy there, so we have no need to worry about losing you just yet.

At times it's a wee bit unclear who is responding to whom. Doesn't really matter, al least the guy in the mirror agrees with me. |

The top jolly of the Netherlands resigned chum, I have been informed that an envoy was en route to your palatial gaff hours ago.
Can you really reject your homeland in it's darkest hour.

Party time you mean? Right party, left party, covid party. I don't think they need me for that just like old Blighty didn't need you when BoJo resigned.

Personally speaking, I think rott's absence from UK central government is a loss to the entire nation, I'm firmly of the mind that he would do a sterling job. And we'll have no cracks from the peanut gallery about my recent MRI and discussion about dementia, thank you very much.  |

It's amazing the effect a brown envelope has.
Or is he just taking the pysse.
Another poll is called for.
The good news changers is that I am off to the Siam Riviera on Monday, been contracted for a fact-finding job. I need to verify the progress made on the beer bars at the Beach Rd end of Soi 8.
Another big job.

Would the above comment lead to speculation that the ghost of Bernard Trink is about to spring forth and manifest itself from the crypts of The Big Mango?
