4)Open to suggestions, happy to share a room, want fairly cheap, but not a hostel.

My diary is pretty empty that far ahead (I don't ever really work more than a week or so in advance!). So, I'm easy with regards to dates.

Apparently 4th June is out for me anyway.

:edit: I realise that the two sentences above contradict each other but my wife has just told me my in-laws have been booked in. She knows not to tell me these things in advance!

I've been several times - oh yes.

I would love to go again.

Now to come up with a convincing lie/explanation as to why I need to go to Amsterdam for a weekend with a bunch of guys I know through a web forum....

Hmmm....

Any ideas?

Weekend after Glasto, 3 weeks of ruiniation, marvellous...

So, given that Dinkel knows the area well and I've been a few times and have a few regular haunts, what do you fellas want to do?

I would be more than happy to basically get there and let you two reveal an itinerary as we progress!

Kind of a magical mystery tour should you so wish to do it!

Best weed: Rotterdam or Arnhem
Best beer: definately not the city center of Amsterdam, well Brouwerij 't IJ and de Wildeman are nice . . .
Best hookers: The Hague
