We don't do much for Christmas, compared to Germany. That's why we head to Germany for Christmas markets every December. and tourists are everywhere in Amsterdam, even in freezing winter months. If you have time and chance, go to Paradiso. It's my most favourite venue and if you stand outside, you can hardly imagine it's a venue with so many history. A couple of minutes walk from the venue, there's a great record shop called "Record Palace". www.record-palace.com/index.php?page_id=1The square called "Leidsplein" is the heart of music in Amsterdam. You can take the tram 1,2 or 5 from central station and when you get off the tram, you have Paradiso on one side and Melkweg (where Noel played his first Dutch solo gig in 2011) on the other side and also pubs. There's a open ice skate rink there at this time of the year. You can also get on a ferry from back of the central station to the other side of the city, North side. The ferry takes only a couple of minutes and it's free (you can also take your bike on the ferry as well) and there's a sub-venue of Paradiso over there where I saw Johnny solo in 2014. and if you love beer (I'm sure you do  ), avoid Heineken factory with too many tourists, but try IJ Brewery. They still have bok beer and special Winter beer. www.brouwerijhetij.nl/?lang=enStay safe, ignore fake drug sellers and have a nice time in Amsterdam!  Thank you very much for that. I know Paradiso already, it´s a lovely venue but didn´t know the record shop yet and will definitely visit the brewery and their tasting area As I´ve been to Amsterdam a few times already I´m thinking about maybe renting a car for a day and drive a bit around the country (or just take a train and visit Rotterdam for a day). Depending on the weather and my mood. edit: just remembered biblical was posting pictures of Leiden in the other thread looking lovely. Is it worth visiting it in december too? Wouldn´t be far from Amsterdam Why don't you try to ride on a bike in Amsterdam? Leiden is beautiful and it's not far away from Amsterdam, about 43 kilometers. or just like you said, getting on a train and visit Rotterdam or The Hague or Utrecht. |

Wouldn´t be far from Amsterdam I truly have no idea as I've never been there during that time of the year. But I can say that the city remains the same, with it's beautiful architecture. And I've seen pictures of the city at dark, and it looks pretty. The main differences are; no sunny weather, no sitting at one of the many cafes outside, and less green.  |

guigsysEstring, I took your advice. Thought about it all day today and came to the logical conclusion: Told her that I want to remain friends for now. That I'm in a bad place right now and wouldn't be able to give full commitment or attention or effort to her and that wouldn't be fair to her or even us. Told her that I still care about her and that we could always try a relationship later in the short term future - that I will keep that door and opportunity always open as I would still love to be in a relationship with her. I ended by saying I desperately still want her in my life, and to see where the future takes us. It was actually really well worded. She hasnt responded yet. I know it hurts though. But I know this was the right thing....FUCK. Tagging Aldo ‘Hollywood Dick Moltisaní, mimmihopps, eva, Mean Mrs. Mustard, mystoryisgory

I decided to start watching This Is England series (had to rewatch the movie too). I have to say this is a great show and it has amazing soundtrack.

I did it well but obviously she didnt like it. Oh well. I felt bad but now I don't give a toss. She's selfish AF guigsysEstring, you're right - I have to look after myself. She made this all about her and failed to even see it from my perspective. I don't care anymore, this nightmare is finally over. I stand so proud in that I had the balls to make this decision and did so with my head held very fucking high. Cheers. |

They say that one of the hardest things to do is knowing when you should continue to associate with someone (and this goes for friends as well as girlfriends). And take it from a guy who's been there: you do not want to date anyone who only thinks about him/herself. Such traits are often difficult if not impossible to expel from someone unless they care about you very, very much, which isn't likely to happen if they're selfish. On a side note, did you really evoke enough sympathy within me to make me temporarily pause my self-imposed exile from this forum and make a post giving you a word of encouragement? Twat.  |

I fucking hate life. That may seem a callous way to dismiss her texts, but in my experience if the selfishness/tantrums don't work as referenced in your previous post- then the next step is to put on a caring front that includes such words as "love", "forever" and "waiting for you". The question you need to ask Beady’s Here Now is twofold in that a) Has her attitude or behaviour that you have described in your brief time together actually demonstrated any of this? and b) Where was this outpouring of emotion and love when you were explaining your point of view earlier and it became all about her? As I said before this isn't going to be easy but the last thing someone in your situation needs is to be an emotional crutch or sponge for someone else going through their own issues- there is a reason for the professionals as they are paid not to get sucked in and end up in a worse state than they already are. I know you probably don't want to hear/read this but it may end up to get yourself better that she no longer features in your life in any capacity- painful now yes but perhaps in five or ten years having graduated and met a fantastic, caring person who loves you equally would that not be better? As always best mate, and hope you are as OK as you can be |

Thank you very much for that. I know Paradiso already, it´s a lovely venue but didn´t know the record shop yet and will definitely visit the brewery and their tasting area As I´ve been to Amsterdam a few times already I´m thinking about maybe renting a car for a day and drive a bit around the country (or just take a train and visit Rotterdam for a day). Depending on the weather and my mood. edit: just remembered biblical was posting pictures of Leiden in the other thread looking lovely. Is it worth visiting it in december too? Wouldn´t be far from Amsterdam Why don't you try to ride on a bike in Amsterdam? Leiden is beautiful and it's not far away from Amsterdam, about 43 kilometers. or just like you said, getting on a train and visit Rotterdam or The Hague or Utrecht. The car was meant for outside of Amsterdam But we changed it all now anyway... Thursday morning we fly directly to Rotterdam and stay there for a night. Then via Leiden to Amsterdam. Saturday we we go to the Brewery and whatever we are up to. Sunday afternoon Ajax-PSV, Monday morning back to Munich. As we were looking for concerts or other events we found valhalla festival on saturday in Amsterdam. Does someone know if this is any good? It looks interesting but I´m not sure if it´s really worth 52€ |

Saturday we we go to the Brewery and whatever we are up to. Sunday afternoon Ajax-PSV, Monday morning back to Munich. As we were looking for concerts or other events we found valhalla festival on saturday in Amsterdam. Does someone know if this is any good? It looks interesting but I´m not sure if it´s really worth 52€ If you're interested in art, I recommend you this exhibition: www.theartofbanksy.amsterdam/en/the-art-banksy/I visited it in Summer and I absolute loved it. It's not in a museum, but in a basement of the conference centre. It's located between central station and Dam square, so you can easily walk to there. Don't go to Valhalla Festival. It's not worth for 52 Euro. There's a couple of events where you can visit this Saturday. A free photo exhibition in Melkweg gallary: www.melkweg.nl/en/agenda/l-a-n-exhibition-17-12-2016/Melkweg has their own cafe on the other side of the venue: www.eatatjos.com/I had a lunch at this cafe when my English friends visited Amsterdam 2 years ago. I asked the manager of the cafe if we could see inside the venue and he kindly let us enter the 2 halls. Also a new Dutch band called Bewilder is playing at Bitterzoet this Saturday. www.bitterzoet.com/event/57ea90c5cd9f1b1a00623bdaI've never heard of them before, but the front man used to be an another Dutch band called GEM and after they broke up, he went solo for a while and supported Weller once in 2010. The venue is a sub-venue of Paradiso and quite small. I've seen The La's (acoustic gig with Lee Mavers and a bassist) in this venue in 2011. It's very near to central station. Are you going to watch the match at Arena on Sunday? Stay safe! and you can also see Heineken Music Hall where I saw Oasis in 2005 and 2009, The Stone Roses in 2011 and NGHFB last April. The weather over here today is miserable, rainy and dark. Hopefully you'll bring better weather with you. Have a great time in this clogland! |

I fucking hate life. I broke up with a girl in september because of a situation I couldnt change and didnt feel it was best for either of us to get into anything too deep not because I didnt care about her anymore, she got upset and it fucking killed me to do it to her, she kept texting me and stuff saying she was sorry and blaming herself I decided to tell her that it wasnt her fault at all but things cant be changed and I let it go, anything after that I ignored anything she said to me because I didnt want to give her hope that I might change my mind, came down to being cruel to be kind. if your done with her then just leave her be now, talking it over and over is only going to prolong the inevitable, as harsh as it is to just fuck off, its better for her as it draws a line and will allow her to move on, youve told her why so she has the reasoning. |

Wow, Spotify has created me "Your Top Songs 2016" playlist with 101 songs and it's pretty damn good! They also gave me lots of different stats and some of them actually scares me... I've listened to 57 809 minutes music this year, that's like 40 days! 1029 different artists and 4132 different songs. My top tracks were She Bangs The Drums, I Wanna Be Adored and Cigarettes & Alcohol. Top artists were: Oasis (it says I belong to "top fan percent" or something), Stone Roses, The Beatles, The Smiths and The Jam. |
