If a Flemish Belgian pronounces dutch, it mostly comes out as 'duts'
meaning 'poor, to be pitied'. Not many Dutch know this.
I am a FB, maar ik spreek liever Nederlands dan Engels.
Hallo, dus, ik ben hier nieuw, en ik ben nog geen Nederlandstaligen tegen gekomen behalve jij. Max headroom had ik al van gehoord, ~4m2 niet. What's it all about?

Whatever you do don't speak dutch (flemish if you desire)
Wat je ook doet spreek geen nederlands (vlaams zo je wilt)

The BBC does not allow foreign languages on this site. They have a procedure called ing to strip such postings from the site.

But I do rather speak dutch over english.
So, hi , I am new to this site, and I have not met any other dutch tongued but you.

(This just to legitimate your posting)


We have a Dutch researcher page. Though not explicitly dutch speaking at least somewhat familiar I think.

Okay, english it is.
You're from Alphen I presume. I'm from Oudenaarde.
I felt bad about the loss of Bram Vermeulen. He was a good friend.
Everybody's talking about Andre H6 now. Not so much about Bram, who lived in Belgium, near Ghent. I met his neighbours recently, and I've
interviewed him on several occasions. Bram and Freek reaved havoc in the Netherlands (Holland and Belgium) 30 years ago with Neerlands Hoop.
I wished Holland would remember Bram as they would Andre Hazes.
Big men with a Big Heart.
May they make our small hearts bigger.

(does not work I know, perhaps in some future it will)
I would certainly Bram Vermeulen to be honoured and tributed as they do to Andre Hazes.

I have heard enough of Neerlands Hoop to give them support. However Andre was singing 'for the millions' while Bram searched the underdog.

Max Headroom was the TV reporter from some old science fiction series he ran on his bike against a barrier, marked [MAX HEADROOM 1.2m]. They extracted his memories into a computer, wich became sentient and called himself Max Headroom.

For myself I prefer the Art Of Noise track Paranoimia in wich Max Headroom tries to get some sleep
*Poetry, that will work:
"Come sweet slomber and shroud me my tired eyes."
Does not even rime!*

thx for the advice
BTW, who is MIN_HEADROOM opposed to MAX_HEADROOM?

maybe I'd better just stick to being bedpan_the_great
allwasys ready to be filled or emptied
may be convenient when you least expect it.

Sorry, last posting should be deleted, though I don't know how.
Too much red wine, probably, did the trick.
No offense meant.
Hope you like Loudon Wainwright III too.
Don't know if he' s still alive though.
Anyway
have a great day.

Its allright, I do not even see any offence. By the way, whatever you write here is there to stay. Forever.

Lets have a look at Min Headroom
