Lets Go Dutch

Advantages: quick, friendly service, huge panckes, good vlue
Disadvantages: Not much on main menu if you don't like pancakes

...Pancakes should be simple to make since they are only flour, egg and milk right? Well I do like pancakes and not just on Shrove Tuesday but very rarely make them myself. When I fancy a fix I will go to a pancake house or creperie. I have fond memories of the Pancake Place in Scotland and the now sadly gone Dutch Pancake House in Manchester. Now I am in London I do not have to go without my pancake fix as I have discovered My Old Dutch Pancake House. My Old Dutch Pancake House is a mini chain of Pancake Houses with branches in Holborn Central London, Ealing and Chelsea with a new one in Kensington recently opened. I've only visited the Holborn one but if the others are as good I would happily visit them if I was in the area. The Holborn branch is super easy to find, as it is located on High Holborn just two minutes walk from...

Review of My Old Dutch, London

Canadian Queens of Drama

Advantages: An exciting mash-up mix of musical genres, Neurosonic is a highly talented band
Disadvantages: Not an album most will appreciate, the music is too diverse to allow for that

...music is my first choice of genre when it comes to music, I certainly love what it is that Neurosonic is doing however as the music here is absolutely sensational. This is such an innovative début album from the Canadian industrial outfit that is Neurosonic, never does the music here fail to impress and always in fact this 'Drama Queen' album has plenty to offer. The reason the music is so effective is because this band does not pure and simply stick to the genre of industrial, elements of other musical genres are brought into the mix here in order to provide for an incredibly full and well rounded sound. When listening to this album it is made very clear that Neurosonic is a band with a strong grounding in the techno/dance genre. The crossover between rock and dance here is phenomenal, the music possesses a great energy and never is...

Review of Drama Queen - Neurosonic

A Dutch of Class

Advantages: Dutch Hospitality
Disadvantages: Average space in economy

...comfortable. In flight entertainment was supplied with seat back LCD screens and a limited supply of movies to watch. The level of service was above average with typical Dutch hospitality and friendliness. The main meals were typical airline food though, nothing special but still eadible. One amusing sight was the choice of early morning snack, a choice between a “pot noodle” or a chocolate ice cream ! I could understand one or the other but the choice, ah well. Schipol is one of the nicer airports to transfer though however, it is sometimes subject to delays going in and out. Although supposedly not as bad this year, it did have a terrible reputation for losing or delaying luggage. But this fortunately didnt happen to me. My luggage was booked straight through so no carting it around, yipee ! On the way back as is...

Review of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

CLOGGING UP THE DUTCH SKIES

Advantages: Fly from regional airports; Provide a gateway to the world; Free sandwich and drink! Get a Demonstration on how to work the emergency exit doors!
Disadvantages: More expensive than the standard budget options; pilots who think they are bike racers; get a demonstration on how to work the emergency exit doors

...In the absence of any of the hotels I have been staying in this week in the Netherlands being listed on Ciao, heres a little about my experience with the Royal Dutch airline, KLM. KLM ? Royal Dutch Airlines This company definitely seem to have the monopoly on flights from regional UK airports into Schipol, Amsterdam, and provides a convenient gateway to the world for people who can?t be bothered to travel to London or Manchester to reach their destination. So what was my business with them? I needed a return flight to the Netherlands for a week long work exchange and checks on all my regional airports, Cardiff, Bristol and Birmingham established that the most cost effective and convenient option was KLM Cityhopper from Cardiff. THE BOOKING PROCESS Flights can be booked on-line, although in this instance, as it was...

Not much at the Dutch

Advantages: Convenient, clean, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced.
Disadvantages: Food portions suitable for a Barbie doll

...The Old Dutch is one of a cluster of expat/tourist beer bars along Soi 23, Sukhumvit. Soi 23 runs at right angles to Soi Cowboy - famous for its Bangkok "nightlife". If you are just wanting a drink and something to eat, you'll find Soi 23 more to your taste. The Old Dutch used to be great. Interesting "old Dutch" surroundings with a small library of second-hand paperbacks, newspapers and magazines to read, nice food, scrupulously clean toilets and in general, a very pleasant atmosphere. Then it went downhill. I got served what I believed were slops, the barman wouldn't change it. Nothing was quite right with it any more. Then it changed management so we tried it again. Wow! It had been refurbished but retained all the original atmosphere. The staff were friendly and cheerful and the draft beer just fine. We decided to eat. They...

dutch bike hire in London: a real rip-off

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: deceiving images, you don't get the bikes you are paying for

...Last weekend, me and my friends decided to go for a tour of Regent Canal by bicycle, and therefore we looked for a bike hire service in London. Between all the websites we found this one, an appealing website with photographs of fantastic dutch classical bikes for hire in London. The website shows photographs of really nice and stylish bikes which are for rent at a decent price, 25 pounds per day per bike if you hire them for 1-3 days. Even though there were cheaper options we decided to treat ourselves for one day and choose one of these appealing bicycles, just to make it a really unique experience for one day! If only we knew! The delivery process is quite straightforward, you choose a bicycle and they deliver it to you wherever you are in London with a little van. And here we had the first surprise: they delivered to us 3 bikes...

Review of Dutch Bike Hire, Bayswater

This teenage drama queen confesses all to review another...

Advantages: Great story line, good music.
Disadvantages: None.

...Confessions of a teenage drama queen was created in 2004 is an american comedy. Starring Lindsay Lohan playing a 15 year old attention seaking teenager who drags other into her devised plan to see the band of her dreams and to tell many lies and deciete friends in the process. This film is very comedic and is along the same lines as 'Parent Trap' however with some more catchy songs. This also stars Megan Fox who plays the classroom bitchy bully and is gobsmacked when Lohan turns out to be the person that she is seen assosiating with. This film is perfect for young teenagers who love happy music and dancing around the room singing. You will definately singing the songs in the film for hours yet to come......

Review of Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen (DVD)

What's all the drama about?!

Advantages: Good chance to see old programmes
Disadvantages: Available digital only, and only at certain times

...Wisdom film on. "On the Beat" or anything with Norman Wisdom is not my cup of tea but this sort of programming might appeal to someone. "Sykes" and "Dick Emery" are currently being repeated as well as "Murphy's Law". The excellent "Upstairs Downstairs" is on as well as its spin-off "Thomas and Sarah". Part one of a docu-drama about the hunt for Peter Sutcliffe was also on. SUNDAY: Similar to Saturdays except it was a different Norman Wisdom film and there were different episodes of "Sykes" and "Dick Emery". Part two of the Ripper docu-drama was also on. A Ewan McGregor drama "Scarlet and Black" was on at the late time of 11.20pm. MONDAY: "Last of the Summer Wine", "Bread", "Terry and June", "Upstairs Downstairs", "All Creatures Great and Small", "Band of Gold" and "Two Thousand Acres of Sky" were on at various times. This...
