I saw that yesterday.
Made me laugh like a drain!

Isn't it awesome?
I nearly pissed myself laughing the first time I saw it, and similarly this!

Unfortunately for me
I know enough Dutch to understand the true meaning so it kind of spoils it for me :'-(

I know about three words of Dutch
but I can get the gist because I speak German.

I also learned German at school for a while
but whenever I'm in Germany, I still like to pretend I'm speaking German when in fact I'm probably just speaking Dutch with a German accent.

Are you a Dutch type, good sir?

( Maladicta, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 21:00, Reply)

I'm English
but have had plenty of immersion in that language.

Aha. I had wondered :)
My Dutch is "sorry" "hello" "kind regards" "refund" "the" "train" "delay" "fuckhead" and "best".

And don't forget klootzak
which means bollock-bag.

Does Eurostar still use Dutch?
Back when it terminated at Waterloo, the signs were translated into Dutch too, but now, they're only in English and French.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 21:55, Reply)

We still have menus in Dutch and still issue timetables in Dutch
and occasionally get letters in Dutch. Thing is with SPI, we're very limited in the signage we can have, since the station's owned by English Heritage, so that may explain the lack of Dutch.

Also, we've changed security contractors of late so you may not have to empty your pockets now...

Woeiha!
That should also mean there's no longer a massive check-in time.

For some reason, I find being on a Eurostar train isolates me more from my surroundings than any other train.

The refurb is coming
... soonish ... so that may well change it. Am looking forward to having a corner of the carriage, I must say!
( Maladicta, Mon 17 Aug 2009, 22:14, Reply)

I meant that I don't really feel like I'm going through my surroundings.
Maybe it's because the train goes too fast to properly take it in, or maybe it's just that it skips the built-up areas.
