Maybe if I limit the amount of info (a form of compression) I could restrict myself to 'Z-like' one-liners. ;D Oh no, don't write in the style of Z!!!! Compressed - Ono.dt rte in stl f Z. (32KbS) Oh no Frans, we love the way in which you write in all that flowery descriptive language. Z's style is stinted and meaningless with typical ;Americanisms' put in occasionally and can be quite confusing to us members of this wonderful Forum that we all refer to as Rock Bottom, er sorry, Grotto. We just love the way you are old man - keep yer chin up!! (Wav)

Sorry Frans. I was just pulling your leg. (The one with the clog on) You do remarkably well in English and I couldn't get near it in your language. I'm too daft. If I tell the truth, I did actually understand what you were saying, but it just made a funny read. sorry!! Not half as funny as yours Trying to do an impersonation of "Humphrey" from the TV series "Yes Minister" Frans You were referring to a "Base" frequency of **Hz and the harmonics related to it, as I understand it.

We hebben een paar berichten in de Vlaamse, om dingen zelfs een beetje voor Frans.
(Hierbij wordt verondersteld Google Translate betrouwbaar is!)

Leuke zinsopbouw. De constructie kan wel wat werk gebruiken. Maar goed I shall continue in English given that is more suitable. Interesting thread...

We hebben een paar berichten in de Vlaamse, om dingen zelfs een beetje voor Frans. (Hierbij wordt verondersteld Google Translate betrouwbaar is!) If I were to translate it back again in English (as faithful as it was posted) it would translate like this. We have a few messages in the Flemish, for things even a bit for Frans
(hereby is assumed Google translate faithful is!)This is what Google translate reports back: We have a few messages in the Flemish, to make things even a bit of French.
(This assumes reliable Google Translate!)No wonder there is so much wrong with conversions from WAV to FLAC and back to WAV again. conversion programs are rubbish ;D So the answer to the question: Which is most important... the answer could be 'a proper converter'..

I will give a hint.... set your translator to 'German' in this case. So Chris is kind of close as 'Stein' is German for rock so in essence we are in the 'Steingrotte'
And I am not Flemish... Flemish is a 'kind of' Dutch (softer sounding) spoken in the Northern part/half of Belgium. Flemish and Dutch people usually have little trouble understanding each other. Some words, however, are completely different where, I am reluctant to say, the Flemish language is the more 'correcter' language in most cases.
but the question remains ... which is more important?

Aaah, now you mention the war ..... I did a tour in Europe and used a place on the border of Holland as a base. It was a place called 'Valkenburg.' We had this enormous barmaid in the hotel who drove to work on a mini moped and I could swear that it wasn't possible to see the moped under the skirts so it looked like she was a very fast runner. In Valkenburg, I noticed bullet holes everywhere in buildings and when I asked this lady why it was left this way all over the town, she pointed up the other end of the high street and said ..... 'To remind them!!!' When I looked, there was a tower that the Germans used to watch over the town and shoot from. Valkenburg is right on the border. They also have an underground network of tunnels that has this thick door that closes nowadays in case of a nuclear attack. (Don't know if they'd rather starve or fry) Anyway, during the war, they would come out and taunt the Nazis who would chase them into these tunnels and then the soldiers got lost and couldn't find their way out. People hid down there and even had babies!!! I was taken down there by a tour guide who scared the bejaysus out of me by going deep into the tunnels and then the basket turned his light out and went silent. Talk about panic!! I had never seen such pitch black in my life and he waited and waited until I was starting to hyper-ventilatle!!!!!!! He was an inch from being punched. Absolutely gorgeous place and really handy for European tours. The only thing was I couldn't take cheese for breakfast and they served it every day.

Absolutely gorgeous place X 2 I spent some time with a Dutch unit in the the mid-eighties and was astonished to find out they were allowed to grow their hair long (long enough for pony-tails) but when in uniform and on exercise they had to keep it up in a kind of hair-net thing Beautiful country and really friendly people Jeff P.S. I quite liked the cheese - a bit mild/bland . . . but nice

Crazy Dutch people...
A mate who is Dutch tells me that the chant of choice when the football team he supports is playing a German team is, "Can we have our bikes back?" (a reference to when the Germans took all the steel they could get for the war effort).
As for the cheese, I've had a cholesterol warning from the vet and been told to lay off the mature cheddar: I'm getting really fed up with the (relatively) bland, tasteless, rubbery stuff I am alllowed (Edam, Gouda, etc.).
Talk about thread-jacking...

Visited Holland for work recently. Cheese & ham sandwich for breakfast, dinner and even at the airport going home. Don't forget the ham.

And to add insult to injury, the Dutch usually use fewer words than Flemish speaking Belgians. Oh oh the irony

This doesn't seem to apply to me though judging my, sometimes lengthy, replies/posts. the king of few words might be 'Z', even his nick name is short.

This gets better and better:
"But I love your French in a friendly manner understood"
(Courtesy of Google Translate!)
BTW, I forgot to thank 'France' for pointing out that Dutch and Flemish are different languages (at least nominally): I'd always assumed they were the same.

I had never seen such pitch black in my life and he waited and waited until I was starting to hyper-ventilatle!!!!!!! I also had a few days in Valkenburg a while back and didn't immediately recognise this description. Having thought about it, I now realise that we were told these 'tunnels' were underground caves, in which we were given a tour in a little 'train'. Our guide also turned out the lights and even after a few minutes of adaption to the dark, I still couldn't see a bloody thing!

I went in the 80's so it sounds like it's become commercialised with a train!!
I think they were caves but a whole tangled weave of them. It was SO black down there.
The bullet holes were in the buildings around windows and there was a little bridge that was totally peppered with holes.
I don't know if the tower overlooking the main street is still there now, but it was like a set out of a war film.
It was very pretty.
