That gets tricky when the pavements are blocked with parked bikes..
That's very much a thing of the past nowadays in the centre, they've really clamped down and introduced bike parking areas, if you leave your bike in a non designated area there's a good chance it won't be there when you get back to it as they'll cut the lock and take it away, occasionally stepping onto the cycle lane is fine as long as you look what's coming and don't step out like a total idiot.

Agreed. Only need to go one or two streets away from the main area and you end up in some fantastic, local quiet areas. Found a great wee pub last time on the corner of 2 streets. Locals just enjoying a beer on the street corner with a village feel.
Yeah there are some great pubs, my personal favourites are Cafe Gollem on the Raamsteeg and In de Wildeman.

I've got a few weeks of spare time and fancy a trip to Amsterdam, partly because there are handy direct flights from Aberdeen and I'm running out of interesting things to do. Trouble is, most of my friends are at work when I'm off, my other half has already been to Amsterdam, and travelling there solo even for non-seedy purposes will undoubtedly be perceived as high-level OFTW behaviour. What to do???
Go for it! Amsterdam is brilliant, yes the centre is overrun with tourists but there are plenty of neighbourhoods and parks where you can avoid the crowds, just don't walk on the red pavement or I'll ring my bell at you and call you a klootzak.

As someone who runs and cycles, I never fail to be astounded when occasionally driving at how unfazed and inattentive many people are when crossing roads. Seeing how rash and crazed many drivers are, I am constantly checking both ways crossing the road when walking, running or cycling. Probably a tad compulsive re this but I don't understand how many people are content to leave their fate in the hands of drivers who get bizarrely and irrational triggered by having to share "their" road within a built up community with bikes, pedestrians, prams etc etc
My body count would be astronomical if I wasn't so focused when cycling.

As a cyclist my personal favourite are the pedestrians who cross roads but don't look at all in the direction I'm coming, they just blithely cross while looking studiously in the opposite direction.
Extra points to those wearing headphones.
I hear you, it happens every 10 meters cycling through the centre of Amsterdam.

Made perfect sense and is very helpful, thanks very much!
No worries, a good tip is try using a laptop or a device with a bigger screen as it wouldn't allow me to enlarge the screen when selecting the seat ( that might be something to do with my phone though and I didn't have my glasses with me as I was out and about working ) I was in the north stand and even though it was sold out there were a few empty seats on the first couple of rows as a lot of folk liked to stand up against the fence pitch side, worth checking out the Giesinger Bräustüberl before which is a 5 minute walk from the stadium great beer and food, it's closed on Sundays though.

Any tips on getting tickets? I'm in Munich later in the year when they're at home.
Go to the tickets tab on their website and register, you'll be able to view upcoming fixtures and when the general sale begins for the game you wish to attend, I didn't hang about this time around it stated the general sale began at 2pm ( I think it's usually 10 days beforehand) and by a few minutes past I had secured a ticket, it's sent to your email address and is described as a print at home ticket - I printed mine just to be on the safe side, everyone else seemed to have printed theirs out I didn't see anyone using their phone at the gate, hope that makes sense I'm about to fly home and I'm still half cut.

TSV 1860 München 1 - Erzgebirge Aue 2
After many years of being a Löwen fan from a distance I finally made it to see them at the Grünwalder Stadion.
A beautiful sunny day for my first experience of German football, had a lovely afternoon drinking beer in the Giesing neighborhood with the locals, the atmosphere in the stadium was incredible, beer and big sausages on sale what's not to like.
The game itself was a classic 1860 performance - they started well and looked really comfortable until they scored then sat back and invited pressure, of course former 1860 striker Marcel Bär scored the equaliser and after that it was only a matter of time till Erzgebirge got the winner, disappointing result but a fantastic day out.

Too many dugs. I'd be raging if I was paying for mine to be among that mob.
I'm with you on that one, I do a maximum of 4 dogs at a time, the photo was taken when I met up with another 2 members of our team.

Can’t you just get the dogs stoned and all sit home and eat pizza instead?
My cat would f**king hate that, it's his apartment I just cover the costs so he doesn't murder me in my sleep.

Really enjoyed the Dutch commentary last night - he mentioned Rangers having the worst champions League record last season and then he mentioned Killie.

Who is the poster who kicks about Amsterdam smoking weed, drinking beer, and walking dugs? Give me 70K a year for that and you’ve got my perfect job.
Of course being the total professional that I am the weed and the beer is only consumed after I've walked the dugs.

You'll see former 1860 player Richy Neudecker playing for Saarbrucken.

Got stung on the arse by a wasp this morning, which I assume is some sort of revenge for Falkirk humping Alloa at the weekend.
Was just strolling along the canal towpath minding my own business when it happened as well.
Same thing happened to me today, stopped at a tree for some shade with the dogs and noticed a wasp on one of the dogs and flicked it off, next thing I'm getting attacked the little f**kers got me 6 times on my right leg,

Just shows what can happen when one of the two of them get drawn away from home against a decent team. Rangers at home time and time and time and time......
It's been a while since we've been called a decent team, cheers mate, McInnes has done an amazing job with the recruitment

Can we play the cheeks every week.
I absolutely love this new and improved Killie

There's an element of aesetic similarity with most Dutch cities - Amsterdam is of course bigger and probably more ethnically diverse.
Take wander round the narrow streets and canals of the Jordan and grab a beer in one of the cosy bars or stroll the tree lined streets of Our Zuid and see where all the rich c*NTS live (you might see my big mate Ruud Gullit out for lunch) there's De Pijp which is a bit more bohemian or head out west along the Kinkerstraat and stuff your face at the foodhallen which is an old converted tram depot or chill in Vondel park and watch all the dogs running round the big dog field, a walk down the banks of the Amstel river is lovely, go for a beer at the IJ brewery - it's in a windmill doesn't get more Dutch than that (they also have a location in Vondel) eat Indonesian food, take a boat tour of the canals but not one of the big glass roofed ones located near Centraal station book one of the smaller open topped ones and sit back and admire the view, if you're feeling energetic climb the tower of the Zuiderkerk and take in the views high above the hustle and bustle.
