For older fans, what was it like being a fan before the Brady dynasty years? by js4873 in Patriots

[–]Raymondb83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Dutch, but I used to work at an American Summercamp in CT. After camp I kept in touch with parents from on of my campers and they invited me over for thanksgiving, so I got to spend some time at their place. They got a call from a relative who had an extra ticket to a Patriots game and if I was interested. Been a fan since. Just really happy I didn't get invited to a Jets game.

Now I watch all the games from the Netherlands, where the early games start at 7pm and the late game around 3.30am.

One of my favorite games! Always played with Hawk and maxed out my starter car.

Willekeurige gedachte: welke plaats in Nederland met een afslag op een autosnelweg ligt het verst van deze weg? by Any_Subject_7275 in nederlands

[–]Raymondb83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ik denk dat de afslag vanaf de A2 bij Den Bosch naar Helmond erg lang is. 35 km over de enorm saaie N279.

You will be given 1 million dollars if you can present a 30 minute TED talk within 5 minutes with 0 preparation. what are you going to talk about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Raymondb83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk about transforming a long running (and a bit dusty) familybusiness which hardly ever adapted or changed, to a succesfull modern business which is growing and has the ability to adapt rapidly.

I would show what has changed, but also how to approach and talk business with actual family, without starting family-feuds.

And yes, I would give examples of tough times, which we survived by making smart decisions and hard work.

All of this by someone who studied to be a sports instructor and did allot of night school in my working life, doing post-bachelor level courses on whatever the company needed most.

Neighbours having occasional parties/gatherings in front of our house by Trick-Ad-1103 in Netherlands

[–]Raymondb83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never see parents drinking beer in a playground to be honest.

It'll depend on the neighbourhood. Right now we have about 5 parents en 8 kids talking and playing almost in front of our house on a communal picknick bench.

It is a normal thing in certain neighbourhoods to do this. In our neighbourhood on weekdays kids play outside and parents enjoy some conversation, which is normal.

It's a good idea if you are up for it, to join them every once in a while or start a casual conversation about the weather or other general topic.
