TBH it was about reviewing the shop and its clientel i'm sure if it was full of loud Irish,Scottish,English or any other nationality then he would have said the same about them.I don't understand why you always have to go on the defensive.
You're not an American you wouldn't understand. Anywhere you go on the internet people are always talking shit and throwing around stereotypes about Americans. Something people from England rarely if ever have to deal with on the internet. If someone gets offensive I'll tell him what I think of his bitch ass. Call it being defensive if you want, I see it more like calling a spade a spade.

I wouldn't have been bothered by his post if he had just said that there were some loud Americans that annoyed him. What bothered me was how he went on to stereotype the American student as a frat boy with no imagination.
dolphins is always a good stop to use the verdamper and have a nice up of tea. didnt try the coffee, they have the usual range of soft drinks for reasonable prices, a looza is 2 € i think or 1,80...
the smoking area downstairs has quite some space, good for groups of people to hang out. i sometimes buy the white dolphins, wich is ok the most times, sometimes the taste is very good. didnt try any other weed there yet. their special dolphins moroccan is very nice when its fresh and not dried out, just put some of it into the bowl of the verdamper when the weed is nearly finished and you get a lot of tasty vapor.

Quite.
Remarking on the kind of people who were in there at the time gives readers an idea of the atmosphere of the place. And as SD says: "I call a spade a spade".
Nevertheless, without wanting to explain how comedy is constructed, the final self-effacing comment of my review was meant to imply humour. Clearly that was lost on some.

The biggest difference is that stereotypes about English and Irish people are often thrown around in a playful manner. Americans usually deal with people who are a little less than playful and often get vicious. To be honest I've never seen anyone on the internet attack English or Irish culture, something I see almost daily with American culture.
Dolphins is cool. Too bad they raised the price of the spoetnick... Last time i was there the woman wouldn't let me borrow a lighter even after i'd bought something. I was shocked and appauled and haven't returned since. Rokerij gave me a free lighter. props to them.

maybe there is no smoke without fire.....btw last thing on earth id ever do is defend the brits, we deserve abuse! The brits abroad (of a certain age) are a nightmare with alcohol and violence, I have a flat in Majorca for normal family holidays, I wont go near any Brit bar when out there, jesus, anyone been to Magaluf? - proof that the Brits abroad needing nuking, life there is drinking. fighting and fucking in any order and with anyone they can get, gross...but we do have a good sense of humour though and we can take our drugs just not the alcohol type ones...lets just be honest and face it
BTW its considered normal now for people to grow huge dope plants on their balconies in Majorca, no one seems bothered and if you look up at most Spanish apartment blocks outside the centre you will see loads, the guy beneath my apartment grows righteous ones...never been brave enough to ask for some though...maybe this year..

Really like this place. What has been said about the budtender is true to a certain degree. She does have a brand of long suffering charm that I find appealing though. Almost as if she is admitting that she would rather be somewhere else but is doing her best anyway.
The house special really knocked my socks off and for 40e for 5g I thought it was a really good deal for such a strong weed. Nice place to hang out/chill downstairs too.
Hmmmm---call me an old hippy---But isnt one of the defining characteristics of Marijuana smoking a certain brotherhood which binds us together in good vibes and peace and love----I look forward to rapping with any Americans, loud or not that I am fortunate enough to come across--also being Scottish I am expected to have a certain dislike of the English--sorry--nope---your average English toker is the salt of the earth and great company--and the irish jeez--who doesnt like the Irish--French---yeaH WHY NOT----peace and love brothers--one of the reasons I'm looking forward to my first trip in June is to meet all these mad stoner dudes from all over the planet---I'm sure our favourite vice will cement us together in peace and harmony---peace and love

was there in early june and bought the white dolphin which turned out to be pretty good--was told no tobacco by the budtender, but politely and no offence was taken---pity as it looked pretty nice inside
Y'know Bilbo, I hesitate to mention it since u seem a gentlemanly bloke, but u prolly could have gotten away with it. A lot of shops feel it necessary to mention the smoking ban, but regularly turn a blind eye (or an insensate nose) when someone lights up. Good on you anyway, for following the rules tho'...
Yeah Titus I think It was obvious I was a rookie--still the weed was good and if it wasnt for the high rollers like yourself I wouldnt have known to go for the white dolphin---maybe the other stuff on the menu was good too---but as I recall it was a bit uninspiring weed titles
just not the alcohol type ones...lets just be honest and face it
