Ik heb deze website regelmatig bezocht en nu heb ik maar eens de moeite genomen om lid te worden en een profiel te maken.
En nu ben ik in afwachting van het concert in de Melkweg

Thank you Ozpat!
Think Sunday 30 april is a fine day to see The Sisters.

I am wondering if it is a good idea that before the doors of The Melkweg are opened visitors of the concert will meet in a place near by?

[Planet Dave]

Welcome to Heartland Mr Dominion.

Jammy git getting to see the girls play in the Dam. Spent one of the many best weekends of my life there in 2003, capped with the HMH gig.

[neardark]

Amsterdam is always a good place to see the Sisters. I love the city. I was there in 2003 and I´ll be there again at Melkweg.

[GC]

Where then?

En trouwens welkom alle Nederlanders op de site (van een Welshman):D

[MadameButterfly]

Welcome to the new folk!

Where? Super Bob and myself will let you know, on this thread. There is still time so don't worry, enjoy your stay and patience is a virtue.

Nou even een jointje roken, lekker rustig.

[HalfmanII]

That hotel is smack bang in the middle of the red light district. Perfect.

Congrats on your first post, John.

And if you feel the need to indulge yourself, Helen and I will
wait for you.

Aye, you'll have two minutes to kill then mate
(including the time to undress and dress)

Zo, kaarten binnen en het wachten kan beginnen.
Nu maar hopen dat ze net zo goed zijn als in de 013 vorig jaar.

I'm sure they will

[My Dominion]

Thanks for all the welcome messages !

A place to meet.... difficult.....may be at the Hard Rock Cafe at the Max Euwe Square?
Or The Balie at the Leidseplein (square)?
Or somebody must have an other idea for a place to meet what is not so far away (walking distance) form The Melkweg....... come on with your ideas !

een ontmoetingsplaats zou het Hard Rock Cafe kunnen zijn op het Max Euwe Plein of misschien De Balie bij het Leidseplein?
Misschien nog andere ideeen? Het moet in ieder geval niet zover weg zijn van de Melkweg.
Dus spuit jullie ideeen !

Greetings !
Groeten !

[Shadow_Smile]

Welkom Mede Sister !

nu maar wachten tot 30 april !!!!

[Super Bob]

Oh no, not the Hard Rock cafe (very cheesy overcrowded and tourists prices, but hey that is my humble opinion).

As MB already mentioned, there is pleny of time to decide where to go. So let's do something nice, ie a lowprofile cafe, closeby the Melkweg.. http://www.amsterdam.info/cafes/dezotte/

I agree with Super Bob, plenty of time.
And yes, the prices in the hard rock cafe are not normal.
I've been there about 1 month ago and still i'm living on water and bread

I am not so difficult, so if nobody has another idea then lets meet overthere.

Greetingzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Grey Area or Greenhouse Effect would be a great start . . .

I like your style. Not to mention your Prodigy circa Jilted Generation avatar.

Welcome to Heartland. I'm a De Kuil or Dampkring man meself, on the odd occasions I get to the Magnet. Next visit - 19th May weekend, all being well.

Enjoy the gig. I'm guessing it'll be somewhat more 'intimate' than 6000+ in the Heineken Music Hall.

[spaceman]

And you mate. Should be a top gig, given that his lovely lady comes from your neck of the woods.

I'm definitely gonna be in the Dam on the 19th, for a mate's stag-do. The silly, yet wonderful chap is paying my way too. Shame it's a coupla weeks after The Girls play the Melkweg, but I ain't complaining. Faaaaar from it.

[Planet Dave]

For anyone travelling over to see the gig, may I point you in the direction of a few essential phrases to help get you by. Kindly provided by Matt...


Professor Toodle-fuck’s handy phrases for a stag-do in Amsterdam.


AIRPORT

Welk platform is het voor centrale post?
Which platform is it for central station?

Droevig ben ik Engels. Ik wist niet ik een kaartje moest kopen
alvorens verder te gaan.
Sorry, I’m English. I didn’t know I had to buy a ticket before getting on.

Hier vijftig euro. Het zal niet opnieuw de heer gebeuren.
Here’s fifty euros. It won’t happen again sir.


EATING OUT


De maaltijd van Whopper met cokes tevreden.
Whopper meal with coke please.

Nr, daar een misverstand. U kunt me goed gehoord hebben vraagt dat
tegenmeisje om cokes, maar ik bedoelde niet de soort die u verkoopt.
No, there’s been a misunderstanding. You may well have heard me ask that counter girl for coke, but I didn’t mean the kind that you are selling.



Ik ben zeker van u "echte s**t" bent maar ik ben werkelijk niet
interessant.
I’m sure yours is “real s**t€� but I’m really not interested.

Gelieve te verlaten alleen me.
Please leave me alone.

Werkelijk, houd op volgend me. f**k weg.
Really, stop following me. f**k off.


Oh de, okay, okay , neemt enkel mijn portefeuille...
Oh God, okay, okay, just take my wallet…



BARS AND COFFEE SHOPS


Hebt u om het even welke Rammstein gekregen?
Have you got any Rammstein?

Een groot bier en een ruimtecake tevreden. Oh, en een pre gerolde
witte weduwe.
A large beer and a space cake please. Oh, and a pre rolled white widow.

Cripes! Kende u daar een orc in uw toiletten?
Cripes! Did you know there’s a pink orc in your toilets?



GETTING A TAXI HOME


Taxi!
Taxi!

Avond. Hotel wat gelieve te zijn. U weet het. In het rood
lichtdistrict. Of was het Leidesplein? Het is naast een kanaal. Grote
vensters. Ik zal u leiden. Die manier. Nr, hangt. Die manier.
Evening. Hotel what’s-it-called please. You know. In the red light district. Or was it Leidesplein? It’s next to a canal. Big windows. I’ll direct you. That way. No, hang on. That way.


OUCH! Okay, zal ik lopen.
OUCH! Okay, I’ll walk.



WALKING HOME



Ambtenaar, god zij dank! Ik word verloren, koude en vier keer
overvallen. Kon u me mijn hotel vinden alstublieft helpen? Nergens is
open behalve die magische paddestoelwinkel...
Officer, thank God! I’m lost, cold and have been mugged four times. Could you please help me find my hotel? Nowhere is open apart from that magic mushroom shop…

Ik zou sommige paddestoelen willen alstublieft kopen Psylocybin.
I would like to purchase some Psylocybin mushrooms please.


THE MORNING AFTER

Goede middag. Ik zou willen klagen.
Good afternoon. I would like to complain.

U verkocht me deze paddestoelen vorige nacht verklarend dat zij mild waren, maar toen ik vanochtend wekte, ontdekte ik dat ik mijn hotelsleutel had gegeten en op het dak van de oude kerk naakt behalve flippers geweest en gimp masker met het
Oog van Sauron dat op mijn linkerbil wordt getatoeeerd.
You sold me these mushrooms last night stating that they were mild, but when I woke up this morning, I discovered that I had eaten my hotel key and was on the roof of the old church naked apart from flippers and a gimp mask with the Eye of Sauron tattooed on my left buttock.



THE AIRPORT


Ja, pakte ik mijn zak zelf in en ik draag anders om het even wat voor
om het even wie niet.
Yes, I packed my bag myself and I’m not carrying anything for anybody else.

Ik heb eerlijk geen idee hoe dat daar werd.
I’ve honestly no idea how that got there.

Is het werkelijk noodzakelijk om me omhoog te sluiten?
Is it really necessary to lock me up?

Ja, begrijp ik. U doet slechts uw werk.
Yes, I understand. You’re only doing your job.

Oh. Hello opnieuw.
Oh. Hello again.




---no doubt some of it will come in useful when we go later in May.
