Re: Controversy Corner - NB: Do not read if easily offended!

Oh dear! I had the (clearly naive) idea that people might discuss stuff intelligently! :o Please explain what is unintelligent about my response? Go have a look at Channels Forum, you will see what happens when nothing is moderated and political discussions are allowed everywhere. Once upon a time ...

Re: Controversy Corner - NB: Do not read if easily offended!

I have to agree with Boner. There is no reason for a Coffeeshop Directory/cannabis forum to have a place for political discussion. There are plenty of political forums for those who wish to partake in such discussions. As Boner said, it will nearly always lead to people being nasty to each other. I ...

Re: how much will a taxi be from ...

Airport to RLD is 45 or 50 Euros.
Use the Shuttle buses that run every 15 minutes or so to any hotel for 14/15 Euros.

Re: Changing router settings?

Have you tried the Advanced tab or the Manual Internet Connection Setup?
It's there somewhere, just a matter of going through every tab/option, I guess the layout might change a bit according to the firmware version that's installed on your router.

Re: Fine Dinning?

I was wearing a suit and an open necked shirt (no tie) as I was taken by business associates when I went to each restaurant. So I'm not sure on the exact policy.
I'm pretty sure that a decent pair of trousers, shirt will be fine.

The Krasnapolsky is the best NH hotel in town and as for location it can't be beaten, right on Dam square.

Re: No weed pass in Amsterdam

Re: Strain of 2011 so far...

2011 is going good for Dutch bud IMO I agree, 2011 is way better than 2010 as far as quality is concerned. I think my top 3 this year so far are: Basjoe’s OG Kush, and although True Playa asked not to include Amnesia Haze, I have to mention Basjoe's AH from April, it was perfect. I was lucky to be ...
