That's it

After I wrote that I thought that I’m a bit off the mark lately, Daren answered with the one thing that took me 10 posts or more to convey. This is a watch and Rolex forum but first and foremost a PEOPLE forum! Thanks Daren, that’s just it. That’s just why I and many with me feel so comfortable here. Very relaxed. It’s like a global bar here, let’s have a drink and a snack!

You are right my very good, funny and thicked skinned Dutch friend.

The watches may bring us here, but it is the company that keeps us coming back.

BTW/ I am eating cheetos and a sunkist orange, so....

Like I said before, if there were no more watches to speak of, we would still come here to spend time with eachother. Not for the topics, but for the people that are here.

Cheers TRF, to good people, and good friends

Guys, guys, guys...

This is a poorly veiled attempt by the Dutchie to get people to lay off him.

I think we should redouble our efforts at hammering the clogger.

Mmmmmm, think for yourself, don't follow Jonh's lead. If he says jump, you ask: "how high?". That's no good

John who?

I dated a Dutch girl once (all 6 feet 2 inches of her blonde body) so I speak from experience, Dutch Boy. The statement regarding never hearing Dutch men described as being cool is just a statement of fact. If you choose to view it as a slam, that is your choice, oh golden one.........

Funny, I also once dated a 6'2" blonde Dutch girl. I'm sure it wasn't the same one though. At least.... I hope not.

Brrrr, I'm cold I'm too tired to argue. And we didn't win any medals on the 1500 m Beaten at our own game and becoming fourth, the worst place to end

It went right past John, since at six two, she was still a foot shorter than him.

I think Daren's just being nice to you Craig (although I don't know why). I can only guess that for someone of your diminutive stature, you would assume that anyone over 4 feet tall must be a man........I can assure you she was all woman , and definitely all Dutch....
