Maybe not O'Toole, but Omar Sharif? ;D

Yes, it was all quite proper. (We bought our cannabis on the street.)

the strangest thing I tried in Amsterdam must have been the bubblegum cannabis which actually tasted just like bubblegum. How the hell did they do that? It was disgusting. I remember walking around the cafe trying to balance 3 plates on my arm like a waiter and laughing till choking while some American woman made fun of one of my Czech friends who fully deserved it. That city makes for great times. I have a ticket to Bxl at 2pm today though I don't think I'm' going to use it  ::)

Before or after the picture was taken? You all seem very pleased for some reason.  :)

After. But we had already spotted the dealer through the window.

At least I now understand some of the fears behind the majority vote against the legalisation of same-sex marriages in a number of States, last Tuesday.  8) I'm afraid it would even be worse (mind the cannabis):

In pyjamas
Are walking down the stairs...

In America they had to change it to "pajamas" so the children would understand what's going on. Although I'm still not sure I understand what's going on.  ;D

Really? Impossible. Or... perhaps because my subscription lapsed tonight when I wasn't at home. But I renewed it immediately, which the system hasn't registered yet (I hope)... Because a subscription means a bigger inbox.

After renewing my subscription I got message full complaints, and then after deleting 20+ messages still got inbox full complaints. So apparently new subscriptions have smaller mailbox quotas.  :(

If that is true... [removes invective]

I am pruning my inbox, and I found this mail by Rob, written after I had complained about exactly this thing...:

Hi Johan

Glad you like the website.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the forum software to do with conflicts within membergroups.

The bottom line is that I have to manually reset your account to accept additional Personal Messages. I have now done this, and you should have an unlimited Inbox.

Please let me know if you continue to have problems.

I will be upgrading the forum software soon, and that should eliminate this problem and make it automated.

cheers, and thank you for your support
Rob

I get the feeling the Forum software hasn't been upgraded yet...
