Dutchboy - What? 200 years? When? Tomorrow?

4/21/2008 - What? 200 years? When? Tomorrow?

They couldn't stop talking about this on the radio, last Saturday. An Amsterdam newspaper, Het Parool, discovered that exactly 200 years ago yesterday, the French appointed Amsterdam the capital of the Netherlands. The newspaper called the Amsterdam city governments about the festivities that were planned, but there weren't any. They had simply forgotten about it. The centenary, in 1908 obviously, was celebrated in grand fashion. They're now looking for a new date in the very near future, to make up. Still, it's a good thing there were no festivities planned. The national soccer league came to an end yesterday, and two teams were still in the running for the championship, PSV from Eindhoven, and Ajax from Amsterdam. PSV won. If you know anything about the riots that surround European soccer you understand why it's better this way.

In other funny news that I learned about this weekend, an English woman applied for a license to demolish the home of the man who wants her house demolished because he wants to build a mall on the site. It would be funny if the license was granted.

No, I'm an hour away by train, in the town of Enkhuizen, where I spent Queen's Day watching the local cycling races. Good fun, though.

This, and many other cursors are available at http://www.totallyfreecursors.com. The one I'm using is found under the header: "pointers".

Thanks for the wishes. I hope you had a great day as well.

You are Sandusky, OH

Loser!
You are boring, have no sense of adventure, no sense of humor, you have no friends, in fact you're no good to this world. You are definitely Sandusky, OH!
