>>>I don't mind you smiling at all. In fact, I have lived in Europe, but never visited the Netherlands. My experience here with Walter has soured me on all things Dutch.

>>You've got it wrong, man. The Dutch are brilliant, friendly people. And, as an added bonus, so many of them are so big and tall that they make excellent human shields, should someone spray the cafe or bar you're in with bullets!

>LOL.. I only ever met one Dutchaman in real life that I can remember. His name was Anton Gezink, the dutch national judo champion, who eventually became a 10th dan. He was like a mountain; wherease, Charles Palmer the English 10th dan was a smaller man, so I guess you're right.

Well I'm over 6' but once in Amsterfdam I went to a brilliant venue called the Melk Weg (Milky Way) during the late PM/early evening. There was lots going on, in duifferent rooms and, like Amsterdam, there were people of all nations there. I'd gone to see a reggae band. Later in the eve, the foreigners dispersed and the place started filling up with the natives. I looked around and it was like being lost in a forest.
