They need to give us a bit of notice Mal. The old ice cream suits need to be dug out of the bottom of the kit locker, then washed and pressed. The shoes need blancoed. "Hands to bathe" is more impromptu, where the crew get the chance to swim in the ocean. Just after one such occasion, a shark turned up. A couple of the lads baited a big hook on the end of a chain and managed to catch it. It took four rounds in the head from a Self Loading Rifle until it stopped wriggling. Then it was shark steaks for supper. 7 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I was in Japan then, didn't hear about the Falklands until it was over and I'd reached Wellington. Met a chap in Morrison's last Friday morning with a very bright sleeve of tattoos and a strapped up chin and split lip, I asked him if he'd had a skateboard accident as he looked the type, he said he was taking a selfie at Gibraltar Point and fell over, he'd had 9 stitches in his chin that morning, it was only about 10ish when I was talking to him and he'd had the stitches put in 3 hours before. Nice way to start the day, with my fear of heights I'd never get up there. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Amsterdam Russ Posted June 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Something different, photographically, for this thread... At 04:15 this morning, I heard three gun shots outside. I dashed to the windows, but didn't see anything. This follows on from an identical incident one month ago in which three shots were fired into the windows of the hotel/restaurant opposite - a place us local expat soulies meet in for a beer ever now and again. In fact, we were there just the other day. This was the scene at 06:00 this morning as seen from our front balcony. Using my zoom lens at maximum range and then cropping the pic quite closely, you can see the bullet holes in the windows. As the same business has now been shot at twice in the space of a month, I can only think it possible some sort of local protection racket is going on and the owners of the business aren't giving in to the wannabe gangsta's demands. Of course, it could be another reason entirely, but it seems logical. Where we live – a very small town close to Schiphol – is a sleepy sort of place, so this type of activity is by no means the norm. Such is life, today!

It's all very remarkable for our little corner of the Netherlands, that's for sure. Obviously some criminal element has moved in with interests beyond the usual illicit growing and harvesting of weed, which is all too common by virtue of the fact we're in the heartland of the country's horticultural industry. The huge and world-famous flower market – FloraHolland – is just up the road from us. Usually the crime reports in the local newspaper consist of a couple of burglaries, a bike theft or two, pickpocketing and failed shoplifters. These shooting incidents have taken things to a whole new level! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
