  1. Okay guys..... I think it`s time!

    XI fest 2018...

     

    We need a location! Let`s use this topic to come up with some good suggestions. Keep in mind that;

    - It has to be affordable

    - There defo has to be something to do (Berlin was great for that with all the historical stuff. It nicely kept the group together)

    - It needs to be a location that has an Airport/trainstation nearby

     

    Seccondly we need a time. Last year was July.

    @Dukoo, aka "Count Dukoo:"  are the Dutch--generally speaking--relatively cheap?

    Where does the expression "Let's go Dutch" come from?  You know, where the cheap bastards (or bastigesses, as it were) only wanna pay for their own meal?

    Just seriously wunderin'.

    The Oxford English Dictionary connects "go Dutch" with "Dutch treat" and other phrases many of which have "an opprobrious or derisive application, largely due to the rivalry and enmity between the English and Dutch in the 17th century," the period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars.

    Back in the 17th century the intense rivalry between the British and the Dutch, both countries fighting to build their global empires, led to many phrases being coined by the British navy to insult their Dutch counterparts. Dutch-courage: implied that the Dutch needed a few drinks inside them to have the stomach required for a fight. Dutch defence: retreat, rather than fight. The phrase "going Dutch", where a couple each pays for their own half of a restaurant bill implies "cheap", basically.
