Bloody Walloon rail unions. Hope they go the way of Bob Crow.
You wouldn't be so perky if you had to struggle on first class from Ghent to Amsterdam tomorrow.
Anyway, how on earth can you organise a trade union membership by language???
Just hire a car you bender
try not to drive it into the canal though, eh?
I'm off to Leiden soon :thumbup:
Might be a problem without a valid driving licence. Leiden is a very pretty town, nice. Sadly I was
there watching on telly when Nayim scored that bloody goal!
It certainly was when Jan van der Leiden turned up in Munster.
Sorry. German Wars of Religion humour.
I read a most dreary book on the Thirty Years War last year. Leiden-inducing.
Sehr gut. We've had the convo before about the cages he and his two buddies' remains were displayed
in after their rather drawn out execution, have we not?
I lived in Muenster until I was 10. My daughter, born and brought up in south Lincs, has just started university in Groningen in the Netherlands. Her housemate directly across from her room is from Muenster, his parents living just two streets from where I did.
You guys really dont like hills then?
Interesting links across that stretch of water, Hanseatic ports and everything.
I'm currently re-reading this one.

I find the thirty years war fascinating because it's almost impossible to understand anything about Germany without understanding it. And yet we had our own **** going on back then, steered well clear of it and so understand little or nothing about it. Indeed, there are very few good English works on it.
That said, it is as bitch to follow and seemed to just end up with various armies rampaging through Germany because they had f**k all else to do.
Indeed. Had the flesh ripped off them with red-hot pincers. They knew how to do a really good
execution back then. A bit of spectacle. None of this ****ty lethal injection rubbish.
My heart certainly knows it when I encounter a hill walking / cycling! Hadn't twigged the Hansa
connection between Muenster and Groningen. Daughter is at the Rijksuniversiteit but as I read your post the lightbulb went on about the Hanze University of Applied Sciences also in the city.
The nearest to here is Kings Lynn (though it was only a Bishop in those times). You have to apply a lot of imagination to see it as a prosperous and thriving port!
