You are connaisseurs Witlof with ham and macaroni gratinee with cheese is a dish we eat very often too !

I lived in northern Belgium for a few years, got to know the food very well and it is the same as Dutch food generally. The highlight is the witlof though, I love them.

Then we were close, because I'm from the southern part of the Netherlands !

I had a friend used to live in Maastricht, used to go there often. Watching the dope heads heading home from the 'cafe' was always amusing!

I know, I know, my town in the South-West had a lot of drug-traffic too years ago. They had to close a coffee shop as things got out of control, there was a continuous stream of Belgian and French drug-tourists. But things have quiet down now, don't hear much about that. Rumours are that the fantastic indoor Ski-dome in my town was financed with drugs money

Vlissinghem?
(I think thats how its spelt) Has one of the best meals in my life there.
A friend of mine lived in Ejsden, right next door to Vise. They wanted to put a massive 'coffe shop' there, to keep the drug tourists out of Maastricht, the locals just burnt it down every time they started building it.

Probably a rumour, there is one in Vlanderen, forget te name of the town, and one near Thionville too, and they dont sell drugs.

Vlissingen: close but not quite, it's Terneuzen.
Too bad the Ski-domes in Belgium and France don't sell drugs, would make life more bearable for the people living on the Dutch border, coffee anyone ?

I was thinking of joining the navy to work on an aircraft carrier but then I found out the job is not all plane sailing.

Preflight inspection of the turbine ... CHECK!

He really laid it on the flight line.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When I watched it the first time, I had to think about what another pilot had said about ducks getting into the turbines: Just some grey smoke for a few seconds.
Fortunately it were just his clothes that really got sucked through the turbine in this case. The intake gets too narrow and he got stuck. His clothes were sucked off and did enough damage for an automatic shutdown and that saved his life.

It is a tough job which needs a lot of hard work, but also tolerance and discipline.
But now I am to old and also afraid of getting sea-sick.

I'm from such a bad year that I was not even invited to join the Dutch army, that was a big disappointment to me, but now I think it was probably for the best.
Played a lot of Battlefield1942 to compensate

You can't work out why any of your breakpoints are being hit.

There's a debugger? Why does nobody tell me these things?!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
