Being with your mates and all that. Trying to get alcohol/laid etc.

I'd heard that things were changing in Amsterdam so you wouldn't be able to smoke as a tourist
having just read up on it from what looks like a legit source of info, that would appear to be nonsense.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 11:52, Reply)

Pfft
they'd never be so stupid as to do something like that to their tourist revenues. And when last I went I was very well behaved; we just got giggly in the back of the coffee shop and played card games. Some of the locals even commented on how nice we were.
(berk, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 11:54, Reply)

yeah, it sounded unlikely to me
they also say that if they did that it would attract more attention and get more of their young people doing it.

I was well behaved last time I was there too. Got nicely wasted in a coffee shop then went for a walk along the canals.

there is a smoking ban now isn't there?
so it's harder to smoke I think. but it must still be possible in the coffee shops somehow
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 11:56, Reply)

They have sensible govt
So the smoking ban doesn't apply in coffee shops. Or most bars tbh.

we asked about smoking baccy in spliffs last time we were there, and the woman in the coffee shop just said do it in the rooms upstairs.

It does
They do provide some alternative 'filler' for your joints. However, I was talking to the manager at the Rockerij and he said it was impossible for them to police whether you used tobacco in your joints or not. His advice was to keep your tobacco in your pockets rather than on the table, so if someone did come around checking they wouldn't notice.

I've never understood the problem people have with school - you piss about with your mates all day, short hours, long holidays, etc.
I think the "best days of your life" thing is misunderstood. My interpretation is that the rest of your life is going to be less fun (long hours, short holidays, working with cunts) that you need to make the most of your schooldays. I'm fairly content that I did.

Some of us didn't have a choice. It'd take a fairly special kind of teen to be content with the verbal shitkicking and misery that I got on a daily basis.

Not every child is in a happy place emotionally when they're at school, and many children are, in general terms, complete and utter little cunts who will pick up on any perceived weakness and exploit it to the max.

why do you think that is?
I was in the middle. As a fatty I got a surprisingly small amount of hassle. My brother was basically king of the school though...

Because it's originally an arts community?
Thus attracting more people who are artistic, intelligent and think out side wthe box. Or as they were known at school, geeks nerds and benders.

Just a guess.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:09, Reply)

Of course it is, I said it.
The interesting question is why it attracts people who don't fit that demographic.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 8 Sep 2011, 12:10, Reply)

bullying and such aside
And I didn't actually get much at all. As an adult I chose my own clothes and the people I associate with, people are, generally, bound by the rules of civilized conduct, if I don't like my job I can leave it and within it I have a fair degree of autonomy.

I enjoy all these things and I had none of them in school.
