Kinda like the hordes of Chinese table-tennis players neutralizing to other nationalities (just check the selections of Belgium, Luxemburg, Denmark, Germany etc) in order to play because the concurrency in their own country is devestating and there's no chance whatsoever to make it to the Chinese national selection.

LOL Groj! I wouldn't normally point out an error in the use of words in someone's post but I distinctly remember you starting a thread on Pandamonium about using words out of context and confusing people. The word you are looking for is 'naturalising', neutralising means to make something ineffective, incapable or impotent. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]LOL. Thanks. I haven't really been myself lately, I'm as sharp as a spoon these days. Blame it on the persistent insomnia. In fact, the dutch word for it is also "naturaliseren", it's a small miracle I even got it wrong. But ask Melusine, I've done weirder degenerations in the past few days... Time to inform about those sleeping pills again.
