Aussie / Dutch.

He's in the Spits/Metro with those stupid T-For-Telecom ads >_<

 

Just embarassing.

Makes us look like $#&%@*!

Most of our Dutch relatives that come over for a visit, love it here.
Excluding summer on a 40.C + day....

I wanna go over there for a visit.

 

I've met a lot of Australians on my travel in Mexico. It was amazing that every single one of them is busy travelling around the world, hopping from country to country, until they are back in Australia after a year or so... (Is it true that 20% of the Australian population is travelling abroad?)

 

Did you ever hear of UserFriendly evil-incarnate? they had a trip to australia in april
(see this for example. I liked it, wonder what you think of it (well, and looking through the obviously computerperson aimed sense of humor perhaps.)

 

Welcome welcome welcome. More members are always good

 

"thunder box" interesting....

Never heard it called THAT before, commonly referred to here as "the dunny" or "the loo".

Also, the word "crikey" hasnt been used since the 60's.
My one wish is to see the KNVB team play & hear the crowd singing along to triumphal march.
That would go off. I've seen it on TV many times but being there live....

You guys know anything of Aussie Rules Football ?

 

No, but I suppose it's like "no rules" football?

 

Kind of a cross between American Gridiron, Rugby & a whole bunch of rules that we invented.
No padding. VERY ROUGH - full body contact is essential.

LMK what you think.

 

I have seen it. Not the sport for me too play, most of the time. But good to get rid of frustrations and just get down to it. I think.

 

Hey Im a friend of Evil Incarnate.

Thought I would pop in and say Hi. I too am sec Gen Dutch.

My father grew up in Harlem.

So how are things in your neck of the woods??

 

Your father grew up in Harlem? That's in the states man!
Anyway, welcome on board! (I am just realizing how double is sounds, welcoming somebody on board while posting on a board )

 

DD is our resident Kaaskop

hey.. my parents never taught me to spell in Dutch

forgive my grammatical mistakes.. kinda gonna try to wing it.

 

Haha first insulting bart, and than apologizing for the bad spelling of the insults.

 

Bagging, Ribbing, Sledging, Taking the pi$$.. aussie slang for verbal abuse.

We Aussies have perfected it.

All good natured. the best insult wins & is rewarded with BEER !

 

hi, was is the language of the luxemburgers anyway called (i have rtl luxemburg on tv and i can also understand it a bit ,but sounds like a very weird accent of german and french mixed up.*lol*

 

Well we don't have people from Luxemburg here, but I thought they speak French there?

Perhaps a French dialect or something.

 

They speak French, German or Lëtzebuergesch (by the "real" natives) which is also spoken in parts of Belgium (Aarle), France, and Germany neighbouring Luxemburg. This last language used to be seen as a remote dialect of German, but after WWII they insist it is a seperate language. Just to provide some very usefull facts on a saturday morning

I have heard that at occasions (ie. when I was up before 7:45 on the rtl-4 tv-station as they reroll the rtl news until that time)

And a good morning!

 

The Luxemburg Orchestra visited us in may this year, they speak their own dialect, but also plain Germen and French. Many of them also spoke English and. . . . Danish. . .
