Then a top set of Engerlish tunes from DJ BubbleGum, so big up to the DJ and the bar staff , cheers Jason, it's not often the bar staff make an old fogey like m'self feel truly welcome on only their second visit...

It seems I've been doing some for the last 6 weeks, having not yet been paid.
So with that in mind I beleive it only correct for me to start looking for other work (so I have been)
I was up for a job at Orange in Amsterdam a few weeks back, but the agency had asked me for a 'motivational letter' at which point I'd said 'in that case thanks, but no thanks'
Well, that paid off and it seems O. like my attitude and want an interview :)
Shame as I really liked this job/place/people/lifestyle but it is the shape of a pear thanks to the agency.
(Who btw are doing themselves no favours with their client atm...they (the client) don't like hiring people who don't get paid for obvious reasons)
Why is _nothing_ ever easy.

as reported by the Telegraph
"American archaeologists have made the first discovery of a tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings since that of King Tutankhamun was uncovered in 1922, Egypt's antiquities chief announced.
The 18th-dynasty tomb included five mummies in intact sarcophagi with coloured funeral masks along with more than 20 large storage jars, sealed with pharaonic seals, said Zahi Hawass, head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities."

Got my first taste of true Dutchness today, fell off the bicycle on the way to work on some ice and slid up the road on my backside.
There's nothing like starting the working day with a wet bottom :(

Started Dutch lessons last night.
It's a small class ; the teacher , two young women (a Russian and a Maltese Canadian), all stunning btw, and me.
I learnt a lot but becuase of the other class participants I find it very difficult to concentrate :)
Then on the way back to Groningen on my bicycle i got pulled over by the Rozzers for failing to display a front light (it had turned itself off). Once it was established that I am a dumb foreigner he let me go with a warning. Next time it'll be a hefty 20 Euro fine, lol.
Then this morning, as the NoorderSlag (Details here) is about to kick off the hotel got invaded by musos (last night) and I found myself with no hotel for the next 3 days, so I'm off to Loppersum to decamp until my city appartment is vacated on Sunday. Can't wait.

after finally managing to watch the old new series over the last few days I've changed my opinion. It's most excellent indeed.
Anyone know when Ep.2 of the new series is on ?

I'm getting that fuzzy feel of old, pre-adventure jitters, much planning not to do, best summed up with this in mind......
