Ooh , I didn't know they call it the both countries ....

Maybe it's because I'm Belgian that we don't say it this way , we use to make a difference between the Netherlands and Flanders...

By the way I do like Bots ..Kind regards , Jurgen

Daisy,

A dutch language folk group formed after Bonkie Bongaerts left the band Dirty Underwear, thought maybe DC would like to audition for them as he is so multi talented.

Dag Jurgen! Ik doe niet mee in deze thread ("draadje"), want enkele deelnemers zijn me echt te dom. Bovendien heb ik geen idee wat ik voor zinnigs over deze, mij alleen bij naam bekende, groep zou moeten zeggen... Enfin, het was op dit board wel een "Dutch day", nietwaar? Beste groet!
