Thanks !
(although I'm becoming increasingly convinced that there are few things more evil than congregating middle-aged, balding Dutch blokes wearing all orange. Vive la République ! )
What do Queen Juliana, Dickie Davies and Col have in common?

As a true republican, this day is best used to drink huge amounts of beer and watch the national squad humiliate portugal.
drinking huge amounts of beer on a boat on a sunny day is always fun. That sums up queens day. Today is an exception. I'm a republican as well by the way. Guess all republicans in Holland are CIV3 fanatics!
A Republican in Holland is not the same as a Republican in the USA I hope! [eek]

Absolutely not ! To be a republican in Holland is merely to advocate an end to the monarchy, nothing else

Happy Queens day, guys. And you too, Col!
So I take it you all just got drunk? [crazyeye]
Col. happy birthday! Be it a day too late. You know a lot about Holland when you know that we celebrated the birthday of the queen mum.
Cromagnon: yes, that's the way the Dutch party. Actually Queens day is a nice event, but it was raining. Amsterdam was empty in no-time.
