Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said "Far out, - What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know, - Well you know you had it comin' to you,

 :-D

Well, at least our pubs and bars aren't closed at 1o'clock. :-P

If you got a "volcano special" from the now sadly out-of-buisness Pizza place just down the road you could expect to pay with your life...

or at least a few painful hours of it ;-)

I also went to te place that was made famous on Saturday Nite Live, the "CheeeechBerger-CheeeechBerger-CheeeechBerger-NoCokePepsy" place.
and the guy really DID say that!

I LOVE the Billy Goat's Tavern!  good food, funny ppl.

Uno's is one of the "Chicago Style Pizza" places, good stuff there are quite a few others in town too.  We've got some damn good more traditional pizza places around town too, just takes some surveying...in the end though I agree with you...the fast-food type pizza you get in most places completely SUCKS.

So, Billy Goat's Tavern is STILL there!
cool!
not really surprised as it's in "downtown", surrounded by office buldings and full of newspaper people (or it was last time i was in Chi Town).

I still remember the walls were lined with photos of everyone in the universe (it seemed)  :-P

and, even though it had been months since St. Patty's day, the "river" was still green.

ah, memories of my youth!  :-)

Remind me, what's the deal with the placenames like s'Gravenhage, with the s' at the beginning?

[Speelgoedmannetje]

's Hertogenbosch =
The forest of the dukes

's Gravenhage =
The hague of the earls

('s = des = old Dutch for "the - of")

It's very archaic, nowadays these places are called Den Bosch for 's Hertogenbosch and Den Haag for 's Gravenhage.

[Cyberus]

Thanks.

Heh, I couldn't even get the apostrophe the right side of the s!
[I wrote s', but its obviously 's]

[blobrana]

Hum,
Batman `s Gotham city  ?

I bet a vast majority of Dutch will make that mistake, so I really can't blame ya. Btw. I was kinda surprised you know these old names. I was tought these names at the same time as I learned 'Chechoslovakia' and - no it's NOT Russia! - it's 'Soviet Union' and it's not just 'Germany' it's 'DDR/BRD'

E.coli? Listeria? Botulism? Campylobacter? Clostridium perfringens?...or something more nasty?

I've got an old school mate who lives in Leeds. I visited him up there years ago, and the local kebab shop also delivered pizzas, as well as burgers etc.

One of their specialities was donner meat pizza. Rank as {bleep}. Can you imagine what is looked like the next day, when all the fat had congealed??

Ah, brings back memories of going to the kebab shop at 3am in my late teens.

9 inch Garlic bread with cheese, donner meat, chilli sauce and garlic sauce.

Tastes good when you are bladdered! :-)

it would be, if it was located in the UK (considering the amount of sun-hours in a year)

[Cyberus]

Hmm, is the climate in the Netherlands really that different to that here?
Whenever I go to the low countries, it always seems to rain...not too different to here then!
(In fact, I was in Belgium about 4 weeks ago, and there were hailstones as big as garden peas!)
