I have a four day holiday in The Netherlands coming up. I fly into Amsterdam and need to be in Rijswijk by 5pm on fourth day. Any ideas what I should do? I was thinking two nights in Amsterdam and one night elsewhere. Does this seem about right?

My favourite word so far is a word I learnt from Jake And The Never Land Pirates and is handschoenen (which I think means gloves). I had to use Google translate to confirm my guess at what it meant and may have misheard so could be wrong. It is interesting to see this break down as I know some of the compound words but nearly none of the component words.

Weird translations of Dutch words.

His staff?!

I had the very same reaction, @piece-of-grit , but it makes sense with the type of house he has. It’s huge, so he needs people to tend to it – cleaning it, doing all the work outside etc.

In their new series, Prowse impersonates Clegg’s successor Tim Farron, visiting shops and asking for freebies: “Nobody knows what Tim Farron looks like so I got free coffees and a free jacket,” Prowse says.

It sort of reminds me of http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/1169298/Sabrina-Movie-Clip-A-Small-Girl-On-A-Large-Estate.html. However, I think (a) having staff is more common in the US than in Europe and (b) you are right with such a big house he probably does need staff.

New Year

Spent New Year watching Family Guy quiet enough that it wouldn't wake my parents.
