The Symbol of Misery!

This is the NS logo. NS are the national rail service in the Netherlands. Anyway last week had been pretty rough for Greg and I on the work front. We decided to take tomorrow off work and thought we would spend the night in Antwerp. We booked a Bed & Breakfast, we planned out some things we wanted to see and do, which did include eating lots of traditional Belgian waffles and drinking lots of Belgian beer. It wasn't to happen. We arrived at Rotterdam Central station. We sat on the train. We waited and the train was delayed. We got off the train. The train was sent back to Amsterdam. Then the message came through that there would be no trains going to Belgium because a boat had been driven in to a rail bridge near Dordrecht. It was going to take some time before the buses began arriving and since we were only going over night it really wasn't worth it. We got a refund on our tickets and we walked home. We bought beer on the way. We sat at home and we drank it. Usually this logo has yellow in the background, but it's gone, because there aint no sunshine! Also, to the driver of the boat - who hopefully wasn't injured - YOU'RE AN INCONSIDERATE F@!K...
