Number 6 on that link reminds me of something I saw in Marrickville once

Scrawled on a bus stop "God hates Homos" just below it
"how does he feel about felafel?"

I don't own a cat either but my missus does.. so i guess by extension it is mine as well... it likes to meow at 4am in the morning. GE, can I please ship it to your address? Don't worry I will pay the postage & handling fees 🙂

Things you don't wanna see when returning from taking your dog for a walk!

So many unanswered questions.
Your dog is afire truck?
Does maple syrup burn.
If there is a fire won't the snow melt into water n put the fire out.
Where is hat and is he safe.

 

[globaleagle]

Of course my dog isn't a fire truck! My bear is a fire truck...sheesh.
Maple syrup does indeed burn.
Nope, and
Hat is hanging on the wall 20 cm's away and is safe. The fire alarm was a false alarm. Better half didn't even leave the apartment!
Hat and I thank you for your concern. 🙂

Epic Dutch traffic jam on my way home tonight. Just what I needed with my bike needing some repair

 

[globaleagle]

That's kinda awesome/interesting to see. (Not for you.) But I never envisioned a push bike traffic jam! Are the highways clear....maybe you'd be the only one driving on the roads?!?!

At that time of night its pretty busy with bikes. I watched a great youtube video about the civil disobedience to the bike laws and the non-enforcement of them is what actually makes it safer and better for bike riding in Amsterdam.

The reason for that traffic jam is the bridge was up on the canal, you can just see it at the front. Though by the time the bridge went down the queue wound all the way back into Vondelpark. This is heading west just outside vondelpark for anyone who knows Amsterdam, just past the exit where the really tall slide is.

Was actually pretty fun riding with such a big pack of riders to clear the bridge, and zoom in and out to get to the front. The WTF look on the faces of pedestrians was hilarious

On your bike in Amsterdam?
Meh the front guard of my bike fell off shortly before this. it was just dragging and hanging there making noise. Such is Amsterdam life

 

[manlyfan76]

Guard? On your bike? Sheesh that would just slow me down lol. And as far as enforcing laws around cyclists, the car drivers around here winge about bikes but i could write a ticket for every km i ride around here for cars.
Ive only had one incedent so far. Collided with a slow moving Harley Davidson.

It's not really the Dutch who smoke the weed. In fact I don't know one of my Dutch friends who actually smokes it. It's all expats and tourists really

 

[globaleagle]

Plus the video says it's actually illegal! So I'm sure no one does it.


I have a cold.
