For Primitive: (Dragon*Con)

What is there left to say... nothing. It's just... how do I put it? Gorgeous, magnificent, awe-inspiring.

*The neighbours downstairs are complaining about water comming through their ceiling. That is NOT water dear neighbour*

Most of the girls in my country aren't small either. I know girls with a lengthe of 6 feet and taller. But you're right 6 feet 8 (200,32 cm) is a looong way up!
My Last GF was excactly 6 feet tall, I'm 5' 11". You can see that, unfortunately, I'm not tall but rather small (in my country that is). The average length of a male here in Holland is quite tall compared to other countries in the world.

Thumbs up for Slynky, my new best friend!

Holland? UK? Just where ARE you from ?

I've been to Holland. Some of the nicest people I met traveling.

[Timstone]

Glad to hear you think positive of them.
As RD knows, I'm from Holland. I think there are about three Dutchmen on this forum. Henk Brouwer was the first, then came Sparhawk and I'm the third.
Where did you went in my beautiful country?

HEY Timstone,

Don't Forget me !!!!!

[Timstone]

Oh my goodness. I forgot Intimidator!
my mistake, my humbles of apologies.

Mijn excuses. Ik was je vergeten, het zal niet meer gebeuren.

Oh, like many, I did the tourist thing. Madurodam (spelling?) and Keukehof (spelling again?). But I rode around the country, too. I never took tour buses. Just drove where I wanted to. Now that I remember, Holland's road signs, as one approaches intersections, are unique. I liked them. But, I stopped off at a few castles and a famous cathedral (my spelling sucks today!).

One of the things I remember most is stopping at a lake to ask directions. Several young people (they were around 20 years old and I was around 28) stopped by to help. They had just finished swimming and were waiting on their friend to come and get them. The girl (the only one) asked if she could change out of her swimsuit in the back of my van. So, naturally I said "yes". So, she changed and her friends and I chatted at the driver's door. I remember wanting to look in the rear-view mirror but I remembered my American manners and never looked. To this day, I think how wonderful it is that so many Europeans can be so open about nudity.

Lots of people in Holland spoke English. Another thing I remember is that they spoke it with a British accent. Not like people in Germany (who really had not much of an accent at all). I found it interesting and just figured it was because Holland was so close to England.

Thanks for the links Slynky! I should check it out one of these days (or, in other words, later this evening).

I had forgotten the problem of getting the actual DVD in France though. While it can fairly easily be bought via Internet, the additional taxes tend to be impressive (in no specific order, shipping costs, duty taxes, "bonus" duty taxes for some goods, currency changes taxes, taxes to pay for all the expenses occurred by the previous taxes, and taxes to fund a swimming pool or two). But it looks like I am digressing once more.

So, back to the actual topic. The only thing I can say about this second tattoo is "gasp". But the first one... No, I shouldn't get started about wings and tattoos. And her look... *Goes away from the thread before fainting*

I seem to have been proven wrong this time; Amazon steps in as a worthy site if you need to import something (without suffering long shipping delays and prices closer to the ones practiced by armed robbers). Erh, what happened to my promise of stopping my wild rants?

However, if someone is willing to help me out with another matter, it would certainly be appreciated. The DVD in question belongs to the Zone 1 (US and Canada), while Europe is in Zone 2. Does this limit mean anything for computer DVD players, or is it only important for TV DVD players? Does it depend on the DVD player? Can you guess I am truly computer illerate? (Or anything related to electronics for this matter) Should I steal Deadstar's own DVD and be done with it?

Thanks in advance for any answer! I will remember I owe you a favour. *Grumbles*

[Slynky]

That sounds like a Fyron question .
