A fun thing to do in fantastic Amsterdam if you have a couple of hours to spare and enjoy beer, is to do a tour of the Heineken Museum Brewery - www.heinekenexperience.com. The tour started in 2001 and is done in the former Heineken brewery which is now a national monument.
It’s great! They take you through the old brewery explaining their brewing method, show you videos detailing the whole brewing process and give you beer at the end of the tour.

Something tells me these guys either don’t know their rights or aren’t too concerned with having extra arms…

Plain and simple.
It’s a crying shame really what’s happening over there in Zimbabwe. A once prosperous nation is on its knees due to the bumbling idiotic paranoid Robert Mugabe. What’s worse is that there are bigger idiots than him, clearly, the ones voting for him. They also need their heads checked. Whether so many people could vote for him is debatable. How could such an idiot garner so many votes? Inflation is in the 100s of thousands, unemployment rife and empty store shelves are everywhere. To me, it’s a clear indication that even though he “lost”, he’s still rigging the vote and doing it so badly that he still lost the election. Now that is a moron!
Now will you Zimbabweans please stand up and rise against this idiot! Clearly, no one else is going to do it. The sooner the better!

We’ve just had a little boy about 4 months ago. Cute little guy with his very own room and everything. We have 2 cars. One is a big fat truck which is great and the other car is a VW Citigolf, the Golf V 1 - yes they still make them here. For some of you, you might remember it as the Rabbit.
Anyway, we’ve always taken the little guy around in his car sear in the truck without any hassles. The truck had to go in for a service a few days ago so I was left with the VW for the day and had to go out quickly with the little guy in toe. Well to my surprise, I found out that the seat belts in the VW are too short to strap his seat in. Now what kind of car company manufactures a low end car, and therefore more affordable for younger people who are more likely to have newborns, that cannot have a baby seat strapped in properly? Really? Are you guys that useless in Development that you hadn’t thought of the length of the belt or were you too busy chopping 2 feet off the strap to boost your profits only to put my son’s life in jeopardy???
Come on VW, you’re German, you can do better than that! What’s happened to your reputation as German engineers???!!!

We just had our son. He’s a real cutie but you can tell he’s gonna be a hand full.
His arrival has raised several questions for us now when traveling. Where do we go? What should we do? What do we take with us? How long can we go for? Will the destination be good for him? Will they even care?
So if you have any tips for traveling with a baby, please add them. I’ll start off with a few below:
1. Take plenty of food if not breastfed.
2. Take enough diapers to cover for a few days.
3. Don’t forget the bottles.
4. Will there be lots of sun, take some good sun-screen with you.
5. Their toys…always useful to distract them for a little while.
Anything else you can think of?

This site has plenty of people linking to it’s images and using it’s images. To those of you doing it in good faith, thanks! To those of you who aren’t, well whatever.
I don’t mind people who use my images. I’d appreciate a quick email asking for permission to do so but I realise this probably won’t happen. I got a couple of emails from people in the past doing just that, it was really quite humbling. One of them I think was a little Japanese kid doing a school project, now that is a good kid. Of course, I said sure, go for it young person.
A link back to the site itself on top of the link to the image would be great. It would help me out tons. It’s a back-handed compliment from those of you who like my photos. I could rattle a few pictures that are very popular amongst users but I won’t, I’ll just say thanks again for the compliment.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the site and do come again, gives me smile…

Today I bought a product pretty much solely on the environmental benefits it provided.
I’ve never tried this product but it’s a deodorant, you know the stuff that makes you smell nice. Well, if I buy the roll-on version for 2/3 the price of my usual brand and I like it, then I can buy a refill for 1/2 the price of my usual brand and re-use the roll-on ball part. I thought that was really freakin’ cool.
Seriously, finally, a product developer thought about it, the roll-on ball is a total waste, we throw it away every time we’re done with the deodorant, and meanwhile, it is entirely re-usable. All I have to do is “unclip” or whatever the original roll-on ball, buy a refill pack, take off the cover from the refill which now uses less plastic but as far as I can see could use less by just putting a nice strong film instead of a full-on lid, and “clip-on” the old roller ball onto the refill.
How cool is that??!! I so hope every corporate company selling products using way too much plastic packaging, most of it dead weight, implements similar innovation. And what’s good for them profit wise because they save cash, is good for the environment.
The product is Shield Deodorant by Unilver, way to go Unilever!
