And they wonder why we aren't wanted!

Whatever people want to buy, the landlord wants to sell and the shove ha'penny league don't consider performance enhancing.

You ever been to the cannabis cafes in Amsterdam?

Sanatogen and an Ibubrofen chaser may be tops with the elderly.

No. I'm not really into drugs. I drink because it's normal (and brilliant) but have never been especially curious or felt like I'm missing much. A few enthusiasts have said I should try shrooms for the intellectual/philosophical perspective they apparently grant you. One, very amusingly, after a few hours experiencing me said actually don't bother, you're already pretty much there, which was nice of them.

 

What are the cafes like then? Dens of iniquity?

We used to go to the Dam on football tours (and a stag do) back last century. 

We were all smokers and spent all day in there getting stoned and drinking copious amounts of Stella. 
They’re not really ‘fun’,

Apart from us (a football team on a weekend jolly) the clientele were quiet, introverted boring sorts, the effect of cannabis no doubt. 
You wouldn’t catch any ‘cool’ Dutch kids in there that’s for sure.

For the quiet, introverted types, that sounds like much more fun than a flat-roofed pub filled with football hooligans pissed up on Carling.

 

Humans come in any number of flavours, you know.
