Ah, boots.

As for the mohican, you know I can pull of that look ;-)

 :oops:

I don't care much about British coffee. Real Brits don't drink the foul stuff :-P

And what's about that stuff, what's it called again, something like "Irn Bru"? :-P :-P :-P

Well, here in NL, you should try Simon Levelt. Also for tea.

Nah, Irn Bru is more (stereo)typically associated with the Scots.

I drank it after a bet
(and no, I didn't drink all of it)

oh, yeah, the English have a problem with coffee.....I would just do without if I ever was to visit.

 :pint:

You better go to my place for coffee, since I have mastered the art of making espresso :-)
When I went to GB I always drank coffee at home (well, my sis' home that is)

Don't tell me you also love carrot-cake ;-)

I'm actually now quite interested in NY...
Isn't it too much of a hassle to go to NY? Getting a visa and all that kind of stuff?

It's a deal!
I'm sure your coffee is so good my mother would approve (that's the coffee lover in my family)

You're welcome! :banana:

but I was wearing rather snug t-shirts which let the tatt poke out :-D A few heads turned in the hotel (it was very posh, and I'm not...) but that could have been anything - the hair, the boots, the tattoo... ;-)

:-D    creating quite the scene, I see!

believe me, New Yorkers are used to seeing all sorts of "odd" and interesting things and people.....we enjoy the view

And that's the reason why I want to go to NY, to see the free, weird side of life. :-)

:lol: Your knowledge of British culture is amazing! Even I had forgotten about that sketch, and I'm one of those really annoying people who is *still* doing impressions of characters from that show... ;-)

Well, I just love humour... Too bad you guys don't understand the Dutch language/culture... We have (had) quite a lot of brilliant sketch shows, like Jiskefet or 30 minuten. (the latter being my all time favorite)
But yes, I think I have quite a knowledge about British culture, I've been there countless of times.. without it, I wouldnt find "The Royle Family" as brilliant, for example...
But, thanks for the compliment :-)

Actually I did think you might feel like that. Apart from in the hotel I never once cared what anybody thought of me while I was in NY. And actually after several members of the restaurant staff and the concierge complemented me on my hair, I even felt like I fitted in in a place like that :-) Back home I feel very self-conscious all the time. There's something about NY which makes you feel like you will fit in no matter who you are.

Well, I feel the same in my city, and nowadays do not even think about it anymore... but, you know, the Netherlands... Calvinism has been grown into our bones, so to say...

Well, I was thinking about a different kind of humour, which is more like 'underneath'...

Er, so wearing underwear is called being naked in the USA? There must a lot of nude beaches over there :p.

Yes, I was also hoping to see more....

[Speelgoedmannetje]

Well, not only in those parts, here too it wouldn't be allowed. For obvious very subjective reasons.
