Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    Go on! Squeeze the trigger, I think my ex-wife and her boy-friend are on that boat. I could do with a good laugh.

  2. Invader Stu says:

    Keith – I find it hard to argue with that reasoning.

    I do wonder about my parenting skills sometimes son.

  6. VallyP says:

    Nah, Stu…I mean I know all trip boats should be sent to a watery grave, but they should self destruct. You shouldn’t have to do it for them!

    Yes, you can do it and yes you can live with yourself. I just wish it was me who got the idea to use a paintball gun instead. I was more thinking about using a water pistol and coloured water. But a paint ball gun… sigh…

    Dragonlady – Well at least I am having a moral dilemma about it :p

    VallyP – Remind me never to get on one when you are around :p

    Anita – You want me to do it?

    Anneke – Yes you :p

    Veronica – If you sink them there is enough water

    You should use a red laser light and then put it nicely between people their eyes, I’d love to see the reaction of people on the boat :d

  12. Invader Stu says:

    manictastic – And the next thing I know I’m taken out by a real police sniper :p

    oh.
    i say do it. i used to be a guide on one of those boats. the guy in charge of turning the wheel to make sure we went left or right used to remind me every trip we went on “Remember i’m the captain of this ship. You do as I say”.
    He was completely serious.

    Kiki> I’d have told him to pull his head from his butt – one of those canal tours vessels is not, by any definition of the word, a ship. Boat, yes. Ship? Certainly not.
