The ram in Amsterdam

[The ram]

Thought I'd spend Christmas in Amsterdam.

Not normally a big drinker but I got to admit I started at 7 this morning on the plane.

If any gloggy's want to meet the ram for a drink that's good. Otherwise I will be fully engaged in drinking and telling lies.

Merry Christmas xx

I'm fairly certain my son was conceived on a weekend in Amsterdam which is rather vague in my memory for various reasons.

Ram's gonna hit the red light district and catch syphilis before the weekend's out.

Are you sure you remember which one is his mother then?

Fairly certain.

I got a bj with a bloody condom on. I like to stand up for a bj, f*ck the birds mouth but I could smell her pussy whilst standing, her pussy must have been at least 5ft away from my nose. Sort of put me off but it was only €10 , glassy eh.

Amsterdam is definitely not somewhere I'd like to live. Row after row of 5 storey apartment blocks, little social areas like parks etc. Supermarkets were open till 8pm on Christmas day and plenty of eating establishments. The majority of the people seemed downtrodden, except in the bars which were mainly busy with tourist couples. Amsterdam is ok for a weekend in the summer but never again at Christmas.

I was impressed with the number and size of bookshops. Shame I don't read the language.

Nowhere in the world preserves its ancient history better than Europe.

It would have been if she had a fresh pussy

In 90 when I was 18 I got a job roofing on the Amsterdam rijks museum. I bought a book to learn the language. Difficult at first as the language is back to front.

My Flemish sister-in-law speaks Dutch, as do her kids. My brother knows a bit (of necessity).

I'm sure but not 100% that the Flemish say they speak vlaams (Flemish) and not Nederlands (Dutch). It's basically the same with an accent. I think the Netherlands was originally bigger than the Benelux region now, so Belgium in its entirety was once in the Netherlands.

These yokel languages need to just be allowed to die out. Speaking some old tongue that only a handful of farmers living near your house understand might seem fun and quaint to outsiders, but it's no way to integrate people.

Given how English is already the language of Europe's elite the EC might as well just enforce English in all schools and be done with it.

That can be debated.

The US has no ancient history so preserving yogurt to get some sort of culture doesn't count, tzor

Yeah totally agree. Mandarin can start to count it's days too.

I'm pretty sure that 10€ for christmas special they were working extra hours. You can't get the doug fir and mistletoe freshness for that price ram.

That's why I went nowhere near the spunk bucket I almost asked her to brush her teeth before sucking me cock

Can't be bothered to read the whole thing but the English language article doesn't do a very good job of translating the original Chinese. The actual document the politician is holding up talks primary about illegal immigration from Africa.

It does later go on to start conflating 'illegal immigrants from Africa' with 'black people' and makes a few stupid comments about 'black people' (the part about groups of 'black guys' going to clubs and selling drugs, harassing women etc. is an accurate translation), but mostly it's about illegal immigration.

[The ram]

Well the English version didn't mention illegal immigration at all. Seems the Chinese don't appreciate being vibrantly culturally enriched, but they better get used to it and fast as it builds momentum. Diversity breeds prosperity and we're better together, remember.

Well the only way for Quartz authors to meet the anti-Chinese agenda of their Japanese owners is to write only the worst things that make China look as bad as possible.

I wasn't thinking of the United States.
The Iroquois Confederacy was believed to be formed in 1142 but that's not really "preserved" records.
On the other hand, perhaps I'm dissing oral history because of the problem of "telephone tag."

The Mayan Classic period (c. 250–900 AD) is far more detailed with written material.

Switch over to the British Isles in the end of that period and we still have no idea if the mythical stories of "Arthur" was real or not. We have actual names of real rulers of the Mayan Empire and not a single provable piece of documentation from England over who was ruling the lands.

Let's go to our antagonist's native land ... (or so it is commonly assumed)

The earliest known written records of the history of China date from as early as 1250 BC, from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC)

Yea, show me 13th century BC written records in Europe. I dare you. It's centuries before ROME, and eariler than Neolithic Greece.
It's older than Egypt, but Egypt isn't in Europe so that doesn't count But Egypt is still older in the historical records than Europe.
