What's REALLY funny, is listening to Dutch people speak English.

Or should I say... "ssshpeek Englissshh"

[/ QUOTE ]

That are only who did not have English lessons since Middle school, like most of our government officials

I am so ashamed when I see those guys trying to speak English...

[/ QUOTE ]

Should have a word with my buddy as well then...

Oooh, if he reads this, I'm sooooooooo dead! Though he IS Frisian... Maybe that's why?

Alas, I must decline.. I had tonsillitis 2 weeks ago (followed by a week of swine flu) and haven't fully recovered.

[/ QUOTE ]

Swine flu cannot hold a candle to Man Flu.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm getting that next week.

But then, I'm always fascinated to hear any english speaking person try and pronounce Scheveningen

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, that one's easy.

[/ QUOTE ]

But that was a Dutch guy saying. Now it's your turn

I'd pronounce it as "over dude like"

[/ QUOTE ]
Very very close.

However, ui is something english doesnt have as prononc..pronouncat.pronounch... 'sound'.

My ex-gf actualy tried to learn dutch, its one of the hardest, if not the hardest, languages to learn. Like the saying: its double dutch to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

A Dutch friend of mine bought me a Dutch for Dummie's book. Even with the audio CD, I can't make the sounds needed...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

Now only if I could here you pronounce "overduidelijk"

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd pronounce it as "over dude like"

[/ QUOTE ]

You're clearly wrong...

IM seems to have vanished some time ago though.. Guess he really DID leave! W00t!

[/ QUOTE ]

Unlike some others we could mention

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]No, he's still here (or at least was)... just under a different name thats all. I won't out him.

[/ QUOTE ]

He changed it from The_Phantoms?

2. Many EU posts, such as our Creative and RP sections, will just vanish

[/ QUOTE ]
Avatea mentioned saving PMs but IIRC I've not seen anything mentioning backing up/saving threads/posts. So I presume that the plan is to move all threads across to the new boards in some shape or form.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe. Just don't be surprised if they have some "technical problems" and some threads, or indeed, entire sections, go missing.

Sooo.. Time for some predictions in the new regime! Here's 2 to start with!

1. EU players with name conflicts will get shafted.
2. Many EU posts, such as our Creative and RP sections, will just vanish

That would REALLY take some explaining come laundry day...

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

An industrial accident?

Last hour, still no information on how naming conflicts will be resolved.

Ho-hum. Not a major problem for me as I have my name both sides of the Pond and can rename either/or.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've already changed my old US forum name just in case.

See you on the new forums!

[/ QUOTE ]

I never knew you'd gone to the Americans before?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was probably after you were banned.

I feel strangely free knowing that all senseless spamming will soon be wiped away.

[/ QUOTE ]

Liberating, isn't it? A bit like sitting in the office in only your kecks.

[/ QUOTE ]


Kecks? Is that a Euro way of saying cakes?

[/ QUOTE ]
ehr yah sure..
would you like some icing on your kecks?

[/ QUOTE ]

Never seen FFM in RL, but purely going off the forum name I'd guess you're being highly optimistic thinking you'd get a piece of good pie off him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey! I'm *always* willing to share pie, or cake, or anything else! I'm expansive in ALL things, including generosity!

Aaaaand STILL no FAQ... You owe me pie, GG. And none of that cinnamon [censored] you lot put in them either... Way to ruin a pie, that is!

But it would be loads fo extra work for them to copy over every single thread - like there are several GR threads on both sides, with lots of posts covering the same stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

So delete the American one then!

[/ QUOTE ]

It's bigger - remove the smaller Euro one

[/ QUOTE ]

... You make it SOOOOOOOO easy, GG...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I always was
But I know you Euro types have a sense of humor, so it's ok

[/ QUOTE ]

Nonsense. We have a sense of humour, instead. Far more refined.

[/ QUOTE ]

You forgot our stiff upper lip, too!

THAT'S gonna confuse a few yanks!

"Huh? You got a stiff WHUT!?"
