Goodbye Cloggies.
« on: May 08, 2004, 08:00:11 AM »
I'm going.

I'm off.

Takin' that boat to Blighty.



Moving home to Britain after five long years living in this country which I can only describe as......flat.  
And windy.

Never again will I have my phone cut off cos the last fella to have that number didn't pay the bill, 2 years ago.  Never again will I be refused service in a store because the assistant is busy stacking a shelf.  Never again will I have to keep explaining the same thing in different ways until the Cloggie who claims to speak perfect English and was really cocky about it finally recognises a word or three.  Never again will I have to go to a Dutch birthday party (oh jeez, don't even ask).  No more relentless wind and rain that comes at you sideways.  No more being dinged at by cyclists who seem to think they have right of way over everything.*  

:D

Man I'm glad to be going home.  I get to climb hills again.  Mmmmmm, meat pies.  Fish n chips!  KEEEEEEEEBAB!  I get to drive on the correct side of the damn road again, woo!  


On the minus side.......no more stroopwaffels.  Um......yep, it's just the stroopwaffels I'll miss.


Ok seriously now.  Bye Holland, been fun but now I'm going home.  Made some Dutch friends that I'll keep in touch with but my general view of Holland is that it's too full of foreigners and the Dutch should stop letting them in.  Especially Somalians.

Well lessee here.......


Nah, curry you can get in Holland, you just need to know where to look.  Coffee shops I won't miss cos they all tend to be really, really seedy places you wouldn't take yr girlfriend into and everything is overpriced, including the coffee.


And no Funked, it's just Cloggies I can't stand, the Dutch are fine people.

God Save the Queen
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen;
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.
Oh Lord our God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix
Oh save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

Our loved Dominion bless
With peace and happiness
From shore to shore;
And let our Empire be
United, loyal, free,
True to herself and Thee
For ever more.
