Simeon Ten Holt - Canto Ostinato[^]
Dutch minimalist, four piano's, lots of repetitions...
Simeon Ten Holt is one of the most famous minimalists of the Netherlands and Canto Ostinato is his most famous work.
I must admit I rarely listen past about 45 minutes and the CD version I have is almost two and a half hours too.
Very awesome piece of minimalist music though

Did you know outside Europe and North America you need an International Driving Permit? Not having needed one for 20 plus years I'd forgotten.
Bow locks.

I can use my license in US and EU for 6 months without any additional fee - for more permanent staying I have to ask for extension and it costs good money...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Don't worry - I'm sure the DVLA can provide one on short notice, without requiring you to fill in a boatload of pointless application forms.

Luckily I can get it from the Post Office. Now all I need to do is find a Post Office.

There's one a mile or so away from here, it that helps.
Mind you, it'll close for the day in half an hour or so...

Of course a permit is needed to drive in the wrong hand lane.

At least you recognise that Nagy is currently driving on the correct side of the road.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Nagy is meant to be driving on the correct side of the road.
Whether he's actually on the correct side of the road, or even on the road at all, depends on how much liquid lunch he's consumed.

Nagy doesn't drive while drunk. Ergo he never drives.

Have a good vacation!
We've been there on June (Traviata at the Fenice theater) and had a very nice stay.

Word of warning. They don't have dominoes pizza in Italy so you might want to take your own.

Knew a guy from New Zealand who went to college over here. He said he had no problem adjusting except having to consciously fight the temptation to turn left on red.
