hypochondriac Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 Just got back last night. Probably the best four days ever. I feel dead at work today.
Sydenhampton Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 I still haven't gotten over that experience. What a day Thursday was!! A great booze cruise over from Harwich on wednesday night was followed by my first example of local kindness when the lady at the Holiday Inn reception allowed me to check in to my room at 10:30am! That was a nice touch. After a power nap & some food came our trip to the square. What can I say that hasn't been said already on here? Outstanding! Chose to walk to the ground, that wasn't my best idea, won't do that again. After the game, back to the square & back on it with a bit of shirt swapping in for good measure! I finished the night singing "he's the Kenyan" on top of the statue of the aardvark outside the hotel! Bit rude not to throw in a few beers in Amsterdam when you're so close so that took care of Friday. Now sat back at work wondering what the hell happened! That was amazing. Hate to rub it in, but if you weren't there, you simply weren't there!

holepuncture Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 Obligatory email sent, don't think we've had a fans love-in like this since Southend! Great time in Arnhem and Holland, couldn't have asked for a better away day.

Whitey Grandad Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 You had better change your name to Madam Saint. Or George...
1576 Posted 10 August, 2015 Posted 10 August, 2015 Hmm, wonder if any Arnhem fans emailed the council to thank them for the wonderful experience that is Yates.
Sydenhampton Posted 11 August, 2015 Posted 11 August, 2015 The big red dragon shaped aardvark? Pfft. That's only a dragon if you bought your bag of Amsterdam's finest from the top shelf! She was very cute!! Great minds.
The9 Posted 11 August, 2015 Posted 11 August, 2015 Pfft. That's only a dragon if you bought your bag of Amsterdam's finest from the top shelf! Fair enough, it's called the "Feestadvarken" aka Party Aardvark. My lot just assumed it was a dragon, and my latent welshness didn't feel the need to question it. http://www.florentijnhofman.nl/dev/project.php?id=195
RedAndWhite91 Posted 11 August, 2015 Posted 11 August, 2015 Aardvark? I thought it was a dog lying on its back!
The9 Posted 11 August, 2015 Posted 11 August, 2015 Aardvark? I thought it was a dog lying on its back! It had nipples, I know that much.
Sydenhampton Posted 12 August, 2015 Posted 12 August, 2015 It had nipples, I know that much. Can't say I paid that close attention if I'm honest! One thing's for sure, if that were in the UK there's no way they'd let a sculpture of a party aardvark be put in such an open space. It'd be more flats.
