.......in one pleasure and have no interest in the other. Any advice on what to do to keep me on the straight and narrow??
which one can’t you do, and which one are you not interested in?
Rijksmuseum, naturally. Wander the Jordaan and the Negen Straatjes. Check out the Verzetsmuseum. If the sun is shining check out Vondelpark. Try some local delicacies: Hollandse Nieuwe - raw, salted herring, kroketten, bitterballen, frikadellen, patatje oorlog. Go for an Indonesian feast, a rijstafel. Buy some cheese, but go to Albert Heijn, not a rip off tourist shop.

Get yourself to Leidseplein.
Plenty to do around there.
Also Rembrandtplein for eateries and Heineken. and Bavaria. And Grolsch. Not Amstel, mind.
I remember being with a chap in Amsterdam who hadn't really understood the whole 'decriminalisation' thing and bought hash off a street dealer. This chap pulled this brown lump out of his pants, bit off a piece, charged him a ludicrous quantity of guilders for the privilege (which he dutifully paid) and fvcked off. When he came to smoke this stuff, it behaved, smelled and had all the narcotic effects of burnt plastic. We ripped the p1ss out of him for the rest of the trip.
I drunkenly argued with a guy claiming the coke he had given me didnt even feel like coke- thatyoucould rub it in your hand and it didnt crumble and felt like plastic. He very patiently explained that it was in a plastic bag :)
In my defence I was expecting a folded lottery ticket.
He had the last laugh- the cokewas rubbish, although it was quite cheap so..... fair enough I suppose.
I'm not sure this line of argument works out well for you, tbh. :-\

If you want to dip a chip in gravy, that is fine. You retain the crispness of the chip while enjoying the gravy.
If, on the other hand, you want to smother them in gravy, you simply have soggy chips and might as well not have bothered deep-frying them in the first place. :shrug:
