Right. I can't control my curiosity any longer.

Who likes my name? And who likes dutch words generally?

Ego Alert

I think you might be referring to something I put when giving you some karma. Did the machine not tell you it was from me? I don't know how these things work.

And I can't control my curiousity........I love your name, but especially the picture of the dog.....but what brought this up??

We have a dutch bakery in Victoria (yes, we do).....man the most delicious baked goods....good thing it's downtown and the parking is bad....so we don't have much access.

It doesn't say who gave the karma, have to do that yourself...

It mean anything? Don't really know any dutch, one of my mates is half dutch, called Orjon, tho all he can say about holland is where to get wasted on the cheap *l*

Ah. Anyway, I did it, Toontje. I don't know much Dutch, but I like th -je suffix. And, ironically, the words 'verschrikkelijk' and 'vreselijk'.

Name's fine, just fine but what brought this on???

BTW for me, I like all things dutch and have spent many happy years of holidays being supported by other drunken hockey players in many cities. It was my 'european' choice should Canada have failed.
It was funny that many people tell me I can speak dutch fairly well...shame I can never remember

We know why then, those many nights in Amsterdam cafes catching up on ya

Would that be hockey Smokey or field hockey Spent a few enjoyable weeks over the years playing non ice hockey in Holland, lots of Jegermeister and those tiny beers!

Lack of field hockey near me in Canada is a major contributing factor to my increasing winter comfort level as discussed in another thread.

Toontje...now Im curious too, what was the point of this thread? a names a name thats all. Dont make me make my wife translate, shes a second gen dutch canadain. Doesnt really speak the language though, but can read a bit.

Yes....what is the point of this thread, do I like your name? Haven't given it a thought really. Field hockey sure rocks more than ice hockey, there is a place in elora that has a league and a cricket league, was there a few weeks back, and talking to the organisers.

Is she the second generation dutch, or her folks, orange must be popular round your place then?

You obviously have never been hit in the ankle with a field hockey ball while in a school uniform and having to act like a lady because the nuns were standing right there.!!!!

I played field hockey in school, and I went to a missionary school too. I still have my old hockey stick actually, and yes I know what its like to be hit with the stick, and also paid back the compliments

Now theres a mental image, nuns and girls hockey.....

sorry, I'll fetch me hat!
