For us Dutch it is a mondegreen to hear “fok die kerstman” instead of “rock the casbah”.

Small Prophets, written and directed by Mackenzie Crook. Another show from him is Detectorists.

Hihihi…

From then on I turned is ass 90 degrees away from me when changing diapers.

My baby sons ass while changing a diaper…

Dietpi is a great suggestion.

Running rpi4 + pihole on dietpi for years now. It is overkill but solid. Updates thru SSH…easy does it.

None of my business.

Most of my relatives are very concerned who has and who has not, talking around backs…I hate it. Seen too many relatives act like hyena’s after a funeral. I don’t care about the kitchen chairs, the bed wash and what you might have left on the bank et cetera. It is disgusting behaviour.

My son is a good person, kind to others and that’s all that matters.

For me it helps to have a fan next to my bed. It helps me to focus on the fan noise instead of the Tinnitus when trying to sleep.

Here is the Professor Dave Explains video…gonna watch it now. Thanks for suggesting.

First time I rented it on VHS back in the 80s, watch, rewind and watch again, next day same thing.

Idiocracy

Hear hear.

We Dutch can enjoy these cultures now because of the ruthless exploitation of Indonesia and (North) African country’s for centuries and there are Dutch people still having a hard time showing immigrants any respect or hospitality, and where I live in growing numbers. It is disheartening but I am glad not to be like them.

Most of my cooking skills comes from learning from friends and family with Indo, Surinam and North African backgrounds. My sisters are all married to people from non Dutch cultures, so I am lucky there too. Also we live near the largest importer/distributor of Asian, Indonesian and Surinam foods in Europe. Very lucky.

My mother is a racist though, we don’t see her.

Heh, I posted about that history a while back. In the Netherlands we have a large community of Indonesian, Dutch West Indies and Surinam people, all with wonderful culture, music and food.

I used to overstuff my rotis and have the same result as you, but after much practice got the hang of it. I also make flabreads that are much easier to make, like parathas and chapatis. Also delicious.

Cheers!

It’s not too many pancakes, but a bit similar I am making too many Rotis today. There are many types of (stuffed) flatbread, today dahlpuri roti. I am making a bunch for the freezer as well.

Takes quite a bit of work, making the stuffing and all, so I already made the Doks Masala (Surinam style duck curry) and Madame Jeanette pepper sauce late last night to go with the Roti.

Also traditional to go with roti and doks masala is boiled eggs, patato masala and long beans. Scoop that stuff up with the roti, no fork or spoon needed, bare hands. I am looking forward serving this tonight.

Don’t bother and walk away.

Also, to me the windmill and the nuclear plant behind it makes a stark contrast between the old and new use of power.

In our village the windmill is still in use after more than 300 years.

It is a wonder Doel still exists. I know about the expansion plans of the harbour and level Doel to the ground, just like they wanted in Ruigoord here in the Netherlands near Amsterdam decades ago. A lot of houses where squatted, lot of protesting, temporary deals and finally Doel is being redeveloped or so I hope. I used to squat in Amsterdam myself, lived in de Wielingen for instance.

I never caught a fish there, once lying to my dad I did catch a fish. He smelled the hook and said yeah sure, good one. My first rod was a bamboo one, so we all went fishing at the Zegerplas to try it out…didn’t catch anything and then my mom caught a Brasem on her first try, and we were all in panik. Another guy fishing there netted the fish and took the hook out.

I also remember there where motor cross races on the garbage dump near Zegerplas that was later developed into a park. That good old smell of garbage and 2 takt motorbike engines. And I do remember seeing speedboat races on the Zegerplas in that time.

Alphen aan de Rijn as I remember was a good place to start at in life.

Is this the Zegerplas? Brings back memories. I used to fish there as a young boy in the late 70s.

First years of my life I lived on a ‘woonboot’ at the Aarkade.

Thank you for posting this wonderful photo!

Heheh, my wife asked today, the website? No the band!
