The Dutch Files

OK, it’s time for a brandnew traffic rant. One about something that has been bothering me for a while but just popped up back into my head again yesterday morning on the way to the office, when I yet again encountered it several times…

I am not sure about all the non-Dutch territories but in Dutchyland you are required to use your turn signal whenever you change lanes. No matter whether you are changing from right to left or from left to right… or from right to middle to left to right (ehmm… after going thru middle again I guess)… no - matter - what…

Yeah, so… ya know… it’s always the same ones, right? I am not knocking anyone with vehicles alike but it mostly seems to be the ones with the big ass SUV’s, the big ass Mercedes’s, Volvo’s and BMW’s, the big ass business cars… The arrogant “I Own The Road” kinda drivers…

So this is gonna be short and sweet cuz you know I am directing this at you… You know you are the ones NOT doing what the Dutch traffic rules tell ya to do… You know you are the ones that apparently still need explanation on HOW to make use of our roads safely… Who still need someone to point out to you that in the busy traffic that we are all in nowadays, not abiding by a simple tiny rule like that you are in fact endangering your own lives and that of the many other users of the Dutch roads… Well, not ALL users on ALL roads at the same time but certainly on the road you are on at the time…

So let me explain this to you once again:

LETTING YOUR TURN SIGNAL *FLASH* JUST THE ONCE, VERY QUICKLY AND HARDLY NOTICABLE, THEN JERKING YOUR STEERING WHEEL AND THROWING YOUR CAR IN FRONT OF THE CAR IN THE LANE YOU ARE CHANGING TO, WITHOUT EVEN KEEPING THE NECESSARY DISTANCE, IS NOT THE SAME (IN FACT, NOT EVEN CLOSE) AS LETTING YOUR FELLOW DRIVERS ON THE ROAD KNOW IN AMPLE TIME THAT YOU ARE GONNA CHANGE LANES!!!

Just sayin’…

And FYI: thát was the reason for me giving you the finger yesterdaymorning…

OK just a short note. I fucked up the server of my blog seriously tonight… BLUEHOST.COM came to the rescue (they ROCK) but I lost some posts and their comments in the process

This has been the most frustrating day ever on many levels. It’s almost 0.45 a.m. right now and I am going to bed… Ugh…

I will work out the post issue tomorrow. I managed to salvage the text of the last guestposters… so I think we’ll be pretty much ok…

Night! Till tomorrow!

If anyone can think of anything to put in here…

…  let me know in the comments section…

I am a bit at a loss for words today… my blog-mind is a blank…

OK, so we have this hilarious TV program in Dutchyland… It’s our Dutch version of The Simple Life, is the best way to explain I guess. It has 2 very famous gay Dutch singers, Gerard Joling and Gordon -Geer & Goor for short- being put to work at several companies, like a farm, a cruise ship, and whatever else…

A food brand, called Knorr, decided to use the formula for one of their commercials and even got both Geer & Goor (don’t cha all love pronouncing that, being non-Dutch? heh) to join in at the commercial.

Geer & Goor are sent to an Argentinian farm to work there, and once they realize that they owe the people over there for their weird behavior, they decide to cook for them…

Well, I thought it was funny…

I don’t have anything for you right now. I can’t get my head around a post right now, for reasons that I won’t disclose here. So many things occupying my mind right now that are not up for sharing… Personal things…

So no post today…

Just watching my mobile… and my email… for that particular message that I want to receive so badly…
