Happy Queens Day!
 

Yeah I know I aint dutch but I was forced to share a train with a whole troop of the orange army this morning and apparently its something called Queens Day today (30th) and they were all wearing orange and meeting in a big Dutch pub in London...

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?

I Dunno...

Juliana is no Queen!!!!!!

And thanks meli. We were just washed away by the rain in Amsterdam.....

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

<----- republican

I had a wonderfull queens day: I was paiting the walls in the new house of my sisters! :)

Hic - we all the same birthday! [party][band]

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.

Yeah like happy birthday Col!

Very late I know but its the thought that counts apparently...
