Subject: OLD (sent to me by one of my equally old school mates)
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were
kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived
because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based
paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids
on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to
play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and
fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels. As children, we would ride
in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat
was a treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted
the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with sugar
in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside
playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and
no-one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After
running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.
We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as
we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one
minded.
We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99
channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile
phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.
We had friends - we went outside and found them.
We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt!
We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law
suits.
We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other
parents.
We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the owners
catching us.
We walked to friends' homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy
or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard
of...They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem
solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion
of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
And you're one of them. Congratulations!
Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids,
before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good.
For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read
about us.
This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a
smile on your face:
The majority of students in universities today were born in
1986........They are called youth.
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children, and the
Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda
Carlisle.
For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born. CD's have existed since they were
born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't
imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films
from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, RedHand Gang or the
Famous Five.
They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You
(what is the hell was that?).
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they
will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile
phone.
Now let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night
out.
3. Your friends are getting already married some for the second third
times.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably
with computers.
5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.
7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good Old
days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.
8. Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other
friends because you think they will like it too...
Yes, you're getting old!!

The Amsterdam Admirals have won the World Bowl! (we're talking about American football here...). They beat Berlin Thunder in the final in Düsseldorf. They were in the final in 1995, but lost it.
I don't really give a sh*t about American football, but the Admirals are our 'room-mates' at the ArenA, so er... congrats, guys.

OPH, you're speaking my language. I even remember Den.Eastenders aired at 11.30 Sunday evenings on our Public Television channel. As for riding bikes, part of the fun was the sudden stop or crash where we tested the laws of human flight and gravity. In my case,to the detriment of my front teeth.

"hi does anyone no any websites where i can watch ajax live because i live in england."
The official Ajax website is going to start webcasting of all ajax's home games during the course of next season. Cost will be in the range €10 - 15 per game. Though their will also be a virtual season-ticket that will bring the cost-per-game down.

STRESS MANAGEMENT -
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised
a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranging from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it."
"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for
an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day,
you'll have to call an ambulance. "In each case, it's the same weight,
but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden
becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and
rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on
with the burden."
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens
you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."
"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy
it!
And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to
eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.
* Never buy a car you can't push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then U
won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you
live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty
and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors,
but they all have to live in the same box.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24
hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of
coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then
asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into
the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if
the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the
empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important
things--God, your family, your children, your health, your friends
and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they
remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that
matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything
else--the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no
room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for
the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse
out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the
house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that
really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes
to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room
for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome. One has a cross in front of him, the other one the Star of David.
Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross. A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.
Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says: "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite."
The beggar behind the 'Star of David' listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said, "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing."

Happy Midsummer's Eve to you all!
I guess you don't celebrate that in Holland, or anywhere else for that matter, other than in the Nordic countries. I'm off for a two day beach party in a while, hopefully I'll be able to stand up the whole evening tonight... :shithappens:

Actually I remember reading in some weird science journal (the quality reading you can get hold of from being married to a scientist!) that technically the southern hemisphere should be the northern hemisphere, and that maps were originally drawn the other way to make the 'upper' countries feel more powerful...note sure if this is true, esp seeing the mag was released on April 1st ;)

Yep, Midsummers Eve yesterday and Midsummer day today. Man, am I hung over. Oh well, party tonight again so I guess I'll have to some beers again soon. Dammit. ;)Kowalczyk schreef:Is Midsummer today?
It's not an official thing here, but my girlfriend's into witchcraft and obviously Midsummer is an old pagan holiday. But I believe the official 'Longest Day' was a few days ago, wasn't it? (June 21 or 22?)

I guess you don't celebrate that in Holland, or anywhere else for that matter, other than in the Nordic countries. I'm off for a two day beach party in a while, hopefully I'll be able to stand up the whole evening tonight... :shithappens:
Per, take it easy with the midsummer celebrations! ;)
That's exactly the sort of thing I appreciate though.....we live in an ever shrinking world with McDonalds/Gap/Burger King in every city and where everyone supports Moan United or "Real" Madrid and yet countries still keep their own national characteristics alive.
It's good to be back online again as well.....the internet cafe place was doing my head in.... :sad:
Forza Haarlem. HFC Gone but not forgotten!
