After being born in Gouda and growing up in a small village called Haastrecht, i lived in Gouda again (6 1/2 years) and then moved to Rotterdam South.

You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. What European City Do You Belong In?Sports, mainly football, snooker, rugby and darts. Comedies, news, more sports, CSI, cooking programmes.
You Are 26 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. What Age Do You Act?

Books:

McCarthy's Bar and The road to McCarthy by Pete McCarthy. Lord of the rings The Farseeer trilogy by Robin Hobb Round ireland with a fridge by Tony Hawks Books about sports and hooliganism
You're 65% Irish
You're very Irish, and most likely from Ireland.
(And if you're not, you should be!) How Irish Are You?

Heroes:

I'm not much of a hero-worshipper, but if i have to name some people who inspired me, i would have to name Pete McCarthy and Jimmy White. And i'm telling you, Jimmy is going to win at the Crucible in 2007!And this guy ofcourse;http://thousandbars.blogspot.com/img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/Thousandbars/neig hborhood/082006ZS04.jpg"

Saturday in London

Having watched a couple of episodes of Family Guy in the hostel when I got back from the pub on Friday night, it was quite a short night, with only 4 hours of sleep. After taking a quick shower, using...

London on Friday

Hello again, As I told you a couple of weeks ago, all pubs are shut on Good Friday in Ireland. This, ofcourse, triggers the obvious joke to ask what is good about it, then. Anyway, I had decid...

Good Friday

Birmingham day 2
