Here we go again. dutchnews.nl/news/2022/01/h…
Ok here's the plan, I am going to watch an hour of red panda videos on YouTube and we're just going to pretend I live tweeted this thing, okay?

Well it's come to this. We've drank all the good stuff and this is all we've got left.
Hopefully we don't go blind before the press conference starts.
The gifter of this illegal bathtub booze is threatening to take it back after we insulted it on Twitter, leaving us with nothing but tea and karnemelk.
Prime minister Mark Rutte and health minister Hugo de Jonge will outline the latest situation at a press conference this evening. dutchnews.nl/news/2020/12/a…
K so more gin then.
It's nearly press conference...we mean press "moment" time. You can watch live on the NOS. Or you can read our completely serious and not-in-anyway scarcastic live tweeting.
If you're not into used car salesman jokes, red panda gifs and edgy commentary about a government's mismanagement of a public health crisis, just wait til this "moment" passes and you can read our totally boring and dry round up on our website that someone else writes, obviously.

It's that time, folks. We are sober. We don't want to be here. We don't want to be living during a global pandemic. We really don't want to be staring at the coif of a certain health minister.
But here we are.
You can follow along on YouTube if you want. We don't recommend it.

Are you ready? We are drunk. nos.nl/artikel/235020…
What are we expecting tonight? Not a press conference than could have been an email, like the last 17 or so. We've got some leaks already. dutchnews.nl/news/2020/09/n…

There's going to be (yet another) corona press conference on Friday evening. Our anonymous live-tweeter is charging double their usual rate (four bottles of gin, rather than two). dutchnews.nl/news/2020/09/a…
Ok hear us out what if instead of watching the press conference we all just go to a park and sit in the sun? (Socially distant of course)

We're gonna start drinking now to prepare for the live tweeting.
You can follow tonight's press conference on the NOS or you can just read our extremely serious and highly sophisticated tweets. nos.nl/artikel/234310…

Hello from the Netherlands, where it is one thousand degrees and every Dutch person who spent all of the year up until this point complaining that the weather is shit is now complaining it is too hot.
The (possibly last) corona press conference will start shortly. nos.nl/artikel/233838…
