I have been going to the Dam at least 8 or 9 times per year since 1999 on business.
My firm always send me cos I don't take the piss. I stay in the Rho or winston, when my collegues go they stay at the Kras or Victoria and claim for everything (some guys even got receipts from the Banana bar and claimed for it). I never put in expenses for food unless I am taking customers or suppliers ( I am only too glad to feed myself), my bill costs my firm +/- £200 whilst my colleagues cost £450+.
I book my business meetings for a Friday morning (and claim for the Friday night accomodation so I only pay for Saturday)
The other guys fly in on Thursday afternoon ready for Friday morning.
I catch the 6.00am from Luton, have my meetings and get to CS by 5.00. Picking up my first purchase at Central i head to the hotel for a quick shower and nap then hit De Kuil for 8.00.
smoke like a trouper, wonder around the RLD, play pool and finally crash at 3.00pm. It is a tradition to finish off at de Kuil with a joint and Southern Comfort on the rocks.
Saturday, surface at about 11.30 and slowly get ready whilst smoking a J, go out to Nellys for breakfast, a bit of a coffee shop crawl waiting for the football to start, watch the football **** then repeat friday night minus the nap.
Sunday lunch time leave, get home write up my reports, always bring all the people in the office chockies, brought one of the girls a vibrator for her hen night ( office whip-round not my choice). Never mention what I do but they know that when ther is a job to be done in Holland,
