Anyone else see the guy that decided to take a swim in Vodelpark today?

Most likely under the influence of something, police and firefighters showed up, he seemed to be enjoying himself in the water and didn't want to leave. Eventually they were able to get him out of the water.

Expats with kids, do you enjoy the weekends?

we’ve been here for a year, have an 11 and 4 year old, and have found the weekends to be really hard. Only so many times you can go to harbourland or chill by the pool. We go to parks and the green lung but it’s not exactly fun given that it takes 30 plus minutes to go anywhere and the heat makes it unbearable after 2 hours tops. We don’t really have a community (our condo has no kids and the parents at school aren’t super social). All things together means that every weekend is super expensive and kind of lonely, repetitive and boring.

Has anyone else here felt like that? Did you manage to get out of that feeling? How? Appreciate any advice from the practical (where to go) to the more advanced (how to make friends with other families). Thanks

How can I help my kid get over his fear of full contact rugby?

my boy is 11 and obly took up Rugby last yea. He is quite a natural and was one if the best players on his school team. Problem is, this year he goes to secondary and they go from touch to full contact. To make matters harder, he is the only boy from last year’s team starting secondary. He is also as skinny as a twig, but incredibly hard headed and resilient. As is stands he refuses to ev go to one Rugby practice and is adamant about it (hard headed as I said). Any advice on how to handle the situation? Rugby gave him so much confidence and friendships last year and I hate to see him throw it away due to fear.

If the ref get political, dribble like Bob Dole

This lyric has lived in my head for almost 30 years. Why is Bob Dole an example of someone who dribbles well?! Today, I think I understood it for the first time today. At the time everyone laughed at Bob Dole for being a really old Presidential candidate (he was 73, lol), so “dribble” here means “drooling“. Do you think this is right? Was this obvious and I’m an idiot? Did I just teach you something? What lyric has been confounding you for 30 years?
