If driving on Dutch motorways, keep in mind that the speed limit is a blanket 100 km/h every day between 6am and 7pm, no matter what your satnav might tell you.

You don't need a breath test kit for France any more. They dropped the requirement about 4 years ago. Never was a requirement in the other countries mentioned

Probably right about the food. Wouldn't have been Liebfraumilch though. I was with my dad, and he was a real wine snob in the '70s and '80s

Once and only once. England 1-2 Scotland at Wembley 1977. That was the year those lovely Scots folk invaded the pitch afterwards and broke the goalposts. Game was shit, but I did get to sit next to* Rod Stewart at lunch before the game... *All right, back-to-back really - he was at the...

:ROFLMAO:

I agree with your general point, but just in the interests of accuracy, national service here in the Netherlands ended in 1997

Who do you think you are kidding?

I used to feel that way (I haven't lived in the UK for 36 years), but the way the Tories have been screwing with all my family and friends in the UK for the past decade and more means I'll do anything within my power to support my loved ones. The UK government has given me back my vote, so I'm...

It's more than good. It should be compulsory in my opinion (as it is in Belgium and some other places). It's a civic duty. Although all voting forms should have a 'none of the above' option for when all the candidates are shit, which they often are. As someone wise once said, if you don't...

This one at least narrows it down to the dead one...

That's a load of balls...

Days of Wine and Roses

Always admired his honesty the last time I saw him play live, ca. 2005 when The Quality of Mercy came out: "I know you're all here for the hits, but it's taken me nine years to make this new record, so we're f**king well going to play it!" He also had a big soft spot for the Netherlands, as it...

Best phone number I know belonged to a girl I once knew (or more accurately, to her parents): Puddletown 500 Straight out of Trumpton... And that's as 'recently' as the 1980s

I do like a good western. So many greats to choose from Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid High Noon The Searchers Dead Man Unforgiven The Outlaw Josey Wales Once Upon a Time in the West The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Cat Ballou The Good the Bad and the Ugly Soldier Blue High Plains Drifter...

Sonic Youth R.E.M. Low I'm surprising even myself that I cannot find room for the Ramones in my top three...

I think that's mainly wishful thinking/straw clutching on the part of the Tories, and the article makes it out to be worse than it actually is. I'm one of the 2.2 million (or 3 million, depending on your source) UK citizens who've lived long-term overseas but got our right to vote in the UK back...

F.U.N.E.X? S.... V.F.X. F.U.N.E.M? S.... V.F.M. (One for the oldies perhaps...)
