I havn't written any poetry for years.All the stuff I did write,i've lost.Which is probibily a good thing because they were all very depressing

.
As for learning Dutch...
I used to work on a cruise ship (King Of Scandinavia) which put into port at Ijmuiden every four days.I was the assistant cruise manager (which means managing the entertainment and doing anything the cruise manager didn't want to do

).
Eddie,the cruise manager,a very good friend of mine from Norway used to tell a joke on stage which was funny for all the wrong reasons.
He used to say that the Dutch first discoverd the beer then discoverd the language.I used to cringe as he'd stand there with an insanly pleased grin on his face,as a room full of Dutch people sat there in silence,glaring at him with daggers.Then he used to say the only words he had learned in Dutch were (I can say it but I can't spell it) God damn it.He's a really nice guy,just not very tactful

.
lol

By the way,do any of our Dutch members live anywhere near Ijmuiden?
