For that matter, Jochem Uytdehaege would have been a good choice too. Remember when he won the gold medal in the olympics ? They made it sound like Jookem oeddahakke.

Nah, check again, mate [img]tongue.gif[/img] I posted my poll a full minute before you [/QUOTE]That doesn't matter. If you check the original thread, you'll notice that I stole his idea first.

To the others: de beste stuurlui staan aan wal.

Although in hindsight, it might have been a smart move to include the 'I'm Dutch' and 'None of the above' options. Not that the last one is really needed.. everyone knows Heineken. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

::raises hand:: Are you sure Mata Hari belongs in that list...? You'd know more than I, unless you're bluffing... I don't know..

Of course, Mata Hari (Margaretha Zelle) was Dutch so she belongs in the list. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I take it those are the only ones you know ?

Gab · 02-29-2004, 05:29 PM

The only ones I know are: Queen Beatrix, Jan Peter Balkenende (who looks like Harry Potter

) and Jaap something Scheffer (I suck at remembering names

). That's pretty good considering that I'm not Dutch. Oh and William the Silent

.

Do you guys mind telling me who Sinterlaas is? From all this talk about him, I'm not sure.

Kinda like santa, except this one comes a few weeks earlier. He travels over the rooftops on a white horse and drops presents down the chimney.

I knew many of those, my brother is a Nistelroj (sp) fan for instance... but who is Sinterclas (Santa Claus?)
