A new Amsterdam connection

[DigitalBuddha]

as promised, an update.
Good news - the weed pass (weitpas in freeky deeky dutch) has not reached nijmegen yet joy so I have finally paid a visit to one of the many coffeeshops in this fine city and replenished my stocks. bit more expensive than the home grown i have been use to buying in the uk but when you can just walk into somewhere and get it and not be arrested when you walk out, its worth it. you can legally (sic) grow your own here but i cant be arsed with that.

our home in the UK looks like its sold after being on the market for just 3 weeks. either we have a very nice house or we are being screwed by the bloody home report valuation. i think a little from column a and a lot from column b!

if the good lady can just get a job now, we can buy something here and settle in properly.

Sounds like you have found the dude life dude. You're near a good source dude....some burgers, some beers...a few beers...your troubles are over dude!

I agree, just add more beers.

.........and female forms;



..............and more beer.

Yeah man, you'll be OK, can't be bothered by that shit, life goes on man. It'll sell in time, not to worry.

Slowly getting things sorted across here. Have an appointment with some Immigration department to see if I can stay I guess and prove I can afford to stay

Just tell them "nice pad you have here; completely unspoiled."

[milnie]

Yeah dude, totally dig their style ;)

Well, time for an update. The weed pass has made it to Nijmegen! Not that I was stopped when I bought some green earlier today :) the council will apparently revoke it to ensure  tourists do not have to buy on the street an to keep the tax rolling in no doubt. Common sense prevails

Thank you for bringing the new shit to light dude!
Sounds like good news on the weed front!

Another update dudes if that's cool:
Just back in our villa after driving to Scotland and back with a van to empty the house. We have a house rented in the small village next to Nijmegen and it is now full of boxes. Will complete the move in the next few days, the house is suppose to sell on Wednesday Then that's us fully living in holland :)
Second, some places in Nijmegen are asking for id when buying weed. A couple of Indian or Pakistanis were carded befor me in the que but when it was my turn they didn't bother so not sure if there are issues with certain minorities or if they knew I was for it?

Sounds like life goes on, dude. Good to see you are still abiding!

[milnie]

Ah, strikes and gutters!
Had a job interview a couple of days ago which was good, then had an email telling us the house were renting has been sold and we need to move again! Bugger!!!

Nice to get a regular update dude.

So many people have been and gone here.

Even in the short time I've been here, DB can probably list hundreds.

Thanks M5, I hadn't seen much from yourself in the past couple of months and wondered if all the political discussions were not to your taste
