Any English speaking person wanting to learn Dutch should have some
sort of stamina, as well as a healthy supply of throat pastilles.

You should have tried the frisbee or the writing instead.

Yup - we stop the intake before we make a mess. (well, I do)

The ones that sit in a tree are high.
The ones that stand on their tail while kicking you in the stomach
aren't friendly.
The others are humans. You can also recognize them by their language;
they speak English (albeit a funny form of it).

Sounds like a lot of mathematically challenged voters.

That would be lying, so I won't.

That's certainly sound advice.

Okay, those I call delusional.

Very much so.

That's one way of looking at it...

Sometimes I wonder if these young desillusioned people have ever paid
attention to what their own parents did in their marriage.

Yup.

Let me help you.
Plain soap is bought by women for their husbands, so they can complain
about the husband using her soft soap /again/ while there is perfectly
good plain soap right in front of his nose.

That, and by mums like myself, for the kids to wash their hands when
they have played outside. Soft soap doesn't last long in small kids'
hands.

I didn't say it did.

Except that Tom and Bruce actually mean something.
Tom comes from Thomas which means a twin.
Bruce means woods.

Sounds like a reasonable assumption.

Yup, just like that.

You're easily impressed.

I can be as pretty a type-face as you like. You are just a plain
fixed-width font here btw. Serves the purpose though, so I'm not
complaining.
