As I pointed out to a Dutch boss, you are a country built in German excrement. How we laughed.

They don't like Germany tbf.

They are Northern neighbors to Belgium . Belgium has 200 fantastic beers that are mostly unknown. Netherlands have 2-3 okish lagers that are sold the world over.

Nation of traders indeed. Superb business people.

Also very tall.

Up de Nederland's!

Excellent summary

Best world class artists per head in European history?

Refs aren't giving decisions as easy as got the back up call....

Or. Just right.

Austro-Hungary as such was more of a nineteenth century thing, the Netherlands' main struggles for identity go back further, v the Spanish in the 16th century and the the Holy Roman Empire in the 17th.

Penalty!

Bring him home!

Big Memph HOLLAND

France also don't call themselves Provence, not do Germany call themselves Bavaria.

Please tell me you understand the difference....

Do you honestly think I am trying to impress anyone?

Christ. Poor effort if that was my intent.

I'm an ENTP. Who are you?
