Thanks, I've worked in the UK two years ago for a BP project. Did a year of Germany after that and some freelance stuff to fill the time a bit. And now spending the last few weeks in limbo with friends in the cheese capital of the world called Holland. So yes, actually grew accustomed to the wacky sense of humor over here.

WTF?

The Dutch don't have a wacky sense of humour. It's extracted at birth!

Are you Dutch? I actually do like this tiny country. It takes getting used to but one just needs to adapt a bit.

Hmmm... Try looking at the UK sense of humor as a none UK National. I think your remark applies to this entire continent.

So have the Dutch done for me while here. Very friendly and rather open minded people. Same applies to the UK if you stick to their view on foreigners and accept it.
