i thought the barmaid in the pub tonight was early 20s, shes been working there for years

turns out she is just 18

allquicatic

@Burgi did you ask her out?

Burgi

no, but she was very very chatty

allquicatic

I don't (ever...) go to bars

Burgi

i'm not sure if soceity would hate me or something if a 33 yo man is dating an 18yo

i think bars in america are not as welcoming as pubs here

well that is the impression i get when i talk to americans about drinking culture

Hennes

Not sure about the US. My local experience with bars in NL though is "Stinks to hell and back. Crowded. Smoke so thick you cannot see beyond two meters. Noisy. No worst, *loud).

Not a place anyone would go if able to avoid.

As for Pubs: Irish pub is reasonable (still to loud)>
And the Pembury in LOndon was nice outside a few very busy hours

Burgi

22:23

is smoking still legal in the netherlands?

DavidPostill

@Hennes I though smoking is now banned in NL bars/restaurants?

Hennes

But they also hung sound dampening on the walls.

Legally: Yes.

It still stinks though.

"I just go outsuide for a quick smoke" is too common.
Staying ouitside in fresh air for another 15 minutes afterward to get the smell out of your lungs isn't

Burgi

when the smoking ban came in over here loads of pubs had to suddenly spend thousands buying new furniture

DavidPostill

@Burgi Smoking (of various substances) in NL is legal provided it happens in the correct places :)

Burgi

i know... i've been

one of the lads we were with spent 600€ in the "specialist" area of amsterdam

On 12 February 2013, the Dutch lower house agreed on a total ban in the hospitality sector, with no exception for smaller, owner-operated bars.

Burgi

we spent 3 hours queuing for anne franks house

DavidPostill

@Burgi The weird thing is you can smoke hash in a coffee shop as long as you don't mix it with tobacco ...

Burgi

in the end we got bored and just went wandering around

we found a pub with 400 beers including english ales

it was amazing

everyone was lovely apart from the cyclists

and the angry business man who i fell asleep on while on the train to the hague

DavidPostill

@Burgi Probably because you looked the wrong way when crossing the cycle path :)

Burgi

i didn't know it was a cycle path! :(

it was just a large expanse of concrete outside the train station

@Burgi github.com/allquixotic/SO-ChatBot/blob/…

Burgi

first time abroad too

!!fuckable 33

ChatBot John Cavil

@Burgi That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.

Burgi

didn't work

iirc the lower boundary for me is 24 ish

i'll do the maths

23.5

allquicatic

@Burgi yeah that command was removed in 2013 when a CM complained

Burgi

allquicatic

22:37

that's why it took me 20 minutes to browse the commit log to find the last revision of that file before it got nuked

Burgi

someone who had their sense of humour surgically removed

allquicatic

yeah, that'd be the SE employee who wrote most of the chat client

Burgi

The full analysis is of course much more complicated, but I can't stay to talk about it because I have a date.

allquicatic

@qasdfdsaq ?

Q: How would you help a snapping turtle cross the road?

Regardless of why they would want to cross the road, doing so is dangerous for turtles, especially since a certain percentage of the population will try to run them over. However, snapping turtles are dangerous enough that I am certainly not going to try and pick one up, so how would I help one ...
