Hehe I'm sure it all relates back to Holland in some weird juventuz-forums-twisting-the-freakin-topics kind of way...

No he didnt actually. He did tell me to wear my hearing aid, but he also said I could continue to be an arse if I want to :undecide: ;)

I lived in Australia for a long time...relatively I mean...basically, I lived in Australia more than anywhere else, so, that's where I got my first long-term passport.

North Korean? I don't know if I can beat that, my father is a devout socialist who used to work for the British Foreign Ministry...is kinda close, if you think real hard...;)

i have a Hollandish question.. why all dutch players can speak English on interviews? why dont they speak dutch?
From what i've heard, Dutch is pretty similar to English... the sentence structure and many words are pretty much identical... I dunno Dutch, but when I listen to some of the players, I can pretty much understand them... i hear things like

"__(dutch)____ had a good game_______great goal_______"

    True. Modern English has no closer relative than Modern Dutch.
