Is this the first time at an AGI that you went someplace other than pubs?  Well, in Amsterdam we did a couple of coffeeshops... The first time one person couldn't talk anymore. At the second one two people whited out, and I felt like shit for it since it was my suggestion in the first place. We also did the sex museum and some Hooters type place. (€ 6 for a pint of Heineken? My Belgian heart bleeds). Oh and the gay monument. It's a big stone triangle. That is all. In London I got lost in the science museum. And in Soho. And some other places as well probably.

Tweek, just because you told me to hurry up, I'm going to dole them out as slowly as possible. Starting with this one...  And this rare snapshot of the Merry Men who say Ni... Linkified for scrolly-ness. Here's an interesting snap:  And, inexplicably, a wild Scouser quite far from its native Liverpool:  And finally (for today), here's something we can all enjoy...

Fine then, if he wins that, then he'll get to look like a total prat!  Doug does the toilet dance!  The PEELer hall of fame, as found in a pub in Nottingham.  The second group photo from another pub. Tweek, Mel's friend, Zed85, Aslate, MelBee, TNUK, SiliconFury, Juliet.  Man Ho!

Apologies for the doublepost, but we really should be planning the next AGI, and I have been given a (really stupid) idea to kick it off. Originally posted by SiliconFuRy in the drinks thread: I can get a ferry from Edinburgh to Bruges. Takes too fecking long though. I think we've found the PEEL tour route. Bus from Bruges over the channel (via ferr) to Dover or Poole. Whilst in Belgium, the PEEL Bus stocks up on fine Belgian Beer, coming through France to Calais, we grab a few bottles of generic French Plonk, and then on the ferry, it's Duty Free Time - some spirits to keep us nice and warm in case we fall overboard. Then we get off and drive into London - have a couple of White Russians in the Leicester Square Moon Under Water, and head for Catford where Tequlia must be imbibed under the giant plastic cat. Then up through the country calling at as many PEELers home towns as we can manage. Reading and then Leicester via Nottingham seems like a good start. We get to Edinburgh, then hop on the ferry to Bruges. By this time, all the Belgian beer is gone, so we need to buy some more to keep us happily lubricated on the way back to Cornwall via Poole or Portsmouth where we drink the whisky we got in Scotland, and slit Nurdbt's throat. Sound like a plan?

Bruges itself is boring and expensive. Ghent is the shit. I'd be glad to show you around.

Umm.. Hi. There is a good chance I will be in Amsterdan and Antwerp this Passover (the weekend of 15/4/06). Big party in Antwerp (Sensation White) and, well, if I go that far might as well consume some perfectly legal drugs... So, if anyone wanna meet... This time I'm bringing a camera and not keeping it in my bag!

We might rent a car and do a little road trip in Europe after all... We might even go to London! But this option is defenitely open... Thanks...

OHMYGOSH! Double post! Anyways, I'll know on sunday if I'd be going to Europe in about a month and a half (depends on my workplace). Actually, I'll order tickets by then. I've already convinced a poor sap to join me and the plans are to rent a car and go for a week and a half, or so. This is the plan: 11th - 15th - Amsterdam, Holland. 15th - Belgium, Antwerp, SENSATION WHITE! (par-teh!) and after that, up to the 21st (when we plan to bring back ze car) the idea is to drive east to Germany, or first south east to Luxembourg and then head north through Germany (and back to Holland in the end). I was wondering, is the plan plausible? considering the distances? (I don't know if its that much of distance. I was hoping you could tell me?). What is there to see and do in Germany/Luxembourg/Belgium? anything wild and interesting? Offroad driving, stuff like that... I understand the water would be too cold for water-skiing and stuff... so.. any ideas? EDIT: Can't seem to find any company which offers renting a 4x4 for a trip in Europe (in above countries). Can anyone help?

It takes 3-4 hours to get to Amsterdam from Brussels or Antwerp, maybe less.
Köln/Cologne, Germany isn't too far from the Belgian border.
Maybe Archie knows if you can go see the Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit.
Disclaimer: I'm not good at map reading and I haven't visited those areas often, so don't trust me too much on this.
Edit: crap connection.
