I've woken up, almost sober, and would be well up for this. I've been snooping about these forums for a couple of years and actually quite like you bunch....what would life be like without Teflon and Rogerborg, mixed with a bit of Paddy, Ste and hellcat and whoever lol
Seriously I'm going to head to Amsterdam quite soon, not for the usual tourist shit but to get melted and watch the buildings leaning at all sorts of weird angles.
I'm going to book soon. Would love you guys to tag along |

Hmmmmm, I could be organised enough to sort my passport out but the passport office people aren't quick.
Getting really really really stoned is the only tourist stuff worth doing. |

They don't have nearly enough different coffeeshops in Rotterdam and I will always dislike Rotterdam simply because me and a mate got really quite lost when cycling there. |

Echo the proper hotel thoughts. Or maybe an air bnb? I rented the top floor of a town house last time I was there,
the roof garden was very handy for getting very stoned with amazing Amsterdam rooftop views. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I'd fly from Bristol so would have to meet up at Schipol or something. Before I get too involved, I'd better run this
past the Mrs. She knows what I'm like and this will be undoubtedly be costly in one way or another.
Last time I did something similar, I wound up with a broken ankle and couldn't work for 3 months when I was the sole
breadwinner, that was a decade ago and I still hear about it now funnily enough. She's more than familiar with the
stupid child she's married to. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

So, potential Amsterdam Party Crew
I wish Mardi Gras wasn't on a Tuesday ... ...
We could have a proper laugh, what with beads and stuff
Shall we go the weekend either side of that and act like Mardi Gras cunts anyway. (does Amsterdam even care about Mardi Gras?)

Hotels are all about location.
The Quentin Arrive hotel on Haarlemmerstraat isn't the highest quality hotel in the world but is in an awesome location. Every time I've been there they don't really care about smoking in the rooms. Last time me and a mate were in a room on the ground floor and they weren't too pleased about how the reception was full of weed smoke so their solution was to upgrade us to a much nicer room that was a couple of floors up.
With an AirBNB I'd be quite worried about the deposit. Quentin Arrive you can have a bonfire in the sink in the middle of the night. You can be sick out of a third floor window. You can have battles involving a fresh fish where the fish ends up being thrown out of the window. You can treat the place like the cheap hotel that it is and no one gives a fuck.
Google says Amsterdam does do Mardi Gras and IMO dates which are popular with tourists are best avoided.
I'll sort out getting passport photos signed by someone next week so I can then send off my passport form thingy. |

Good point.
Well made.
I only really considered Mardi Gras cos its about a month away. But I can quite literally do almost any weekend, cos every weekend can be Mardi Gras I should work weekends, it saves me having to taxi too hard during the week, but what the fuck.
I do fancy something nice, cool, comfortable, Dutch, and groovy a la AirBnB, but I like the sound of the Quentin Arrive. As long as I have a proper bed to crash in, and a lockable door to keep Bodyguard and his pillows out, I don't care if its a dive: adds to the flavour.
I can pretty much sleep through most stuff, so if some cunt is throwing midgets across the room next door, when I'm *that* tired, I will be the one sleeping through it.
Edit: Hmmmmm ... I don't usually read/trust Trip Advisor reviews but ... yeah, the Quentin looks pretty divey to me Cracks me up: Some bint has been there three times but still decides to slam it. Oh, I went there with the girlies, it was shite, but oh, then I went there with my brother, and lordy it was SO shite that I went there AGAIN with my *mother* ... FFS, stop bitching about it and admit you're just a tight cunt. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Yeah end of Feb/early March is prolly a better bet, given that the Amsterdam Tourist Board probably promotes Valentines as well ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Turns out the Eurostar does direct London>Amsterdam trains. This must be a new thing. Might be of use to someone.
