Happy birthday DED.:bouncy:

Ditto DED!!

He's now suffering old record love since the Earth & Fire drummer died.

Happy (belated) Birthday, Ed!

PSV Eindhoven is football champion of The Netherlands. Town centre is erupting.

The party atmosphere died down sooner than expected. An amateur football team from Nuenen became champions in their league the day after and were celebrating by riding a party bicycle. That's basically a large table that is pedalled by the people sitting on the sides of it (usually hooked up to beer) and a driver in front. The party bicycle got trapped on a railway crossing and the unfortunate team had to run for their lives. One had an injury and didn't make it.


Had to search for one for three years (since my visit to Paris), but I've finally got a baguette baking form!
Unfortunately the form won't stand heat over 200 degs and all the recipes I've found so far (I'm looking for recipes in French as I don't want anything that could even remotely be contaminated by Dutch "taste") require hotter ovens than that.

Heard today of an Eindhoven couple who found a dead mouse in their bread. Saw photos and video, shouldn't have done that. Showed it to my father, and now he doesn't feel well either.

Aaaanyway... another day, another batch of papers awaiting delivery...

yeah, I want my papers, quick, so I can start a fire and cook sausages for lunch..

Wasn't around here for a while, but thanks for your congrats regarding my b-day. To store our wacky bicycles on the ceiling i asked for years for a bycycle lift. Then suddenly BBP came home with one. For over 6 months it was stored in in the box, BBP was complaining. He was asking for it for years and now he has one, and he won't use it. In december BBP was clever and wrapped the lift in as an end of year (Sint Nicolas) present. In april 4 monts after Sint Nicolas it was still in the box. My wishlist no1 was a Bicycle lift (Joke). But the other daughter misunderstood this and bought 2 new ones. I have 3 now and finally mounted the first one.

Oh dude that bread was SO good! Totally worth the hand pain from kneading!

The zither I bought on a auction togeher with a radio, box camera's and an extra radio/turntable combination. had a nasty crack. Today I repaired it. You can see the crack just left of the name and on the right sight a little above.

That's too funny for words.

That may be true but with that "he" Dad was referring to himself.
