Goedemorgen BM. I'm only coming back because of you. How are you? I've been a good boy lately, last time in Amsterdam I even made it to the last train :-). In three weeks though a big weekend is planned around the Amsterdam marathon, I already made arrangements with the local Paddy's for a place to ...

Not so much, but I do play triviant at home. My favorite subjects are geography and sports.

Hey Sage. No I am not running :-). I am going to support a friend, who is running. It is his first marathon, and the nice thing about social media is to follow him and his preperations and cheering him on. He has all this schedules and stuff. I am sure he is going to make it. I did get the running b...

Sounds great!

For some weekend already started, for others it will start today. What are you going to do? Any nice plans? I am having dinners with some friends in Utrecht. Havenot been out there for a while and it is a nice student town. One has a new daughter, so a baby visit will also happen. Saturday some cycl...

I checked the BBCiPlayer but cannot see the broadcast. Is there any way to see missed broadcasts on BBC?

I get this message:

Currently BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only

.

The respondents are mainly young, educated single males, this isnot a representative survey. And I always thought you can access the internet with an ADSL connection using WiFi, and that those two are not mutually exclusive, but that might be just me.

US and the UK are still leading and dominate the top 10. Dutch universities are on the rise :-) with 7 universities in the top 100 and 12 universities in the top 200. The only two universities in the top 200 from the ME are the University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Dubai or anything from the UAE is ...

That's what I call a long weekend .

For me, Saturday morning I'll be driving to Amsterdam for some practising on the golf course, as somebody challenged me on Sunday. During the day I'll head south to pay to some family visits. And Sunday, yes, the big game. Fingers crossed!

Which footsie match will you be watching? Tonight is NEC - ADO Den Haag. I am going to watch that one. ADO isnot doing bad at all this season and as things look now are still in the race for European football. The only matches that really matter in The Hague are the ones against Ajax, two weeks ago...

I'm sure you're still your head on this one. Does the other have your contact details? Did the other ask for your contact details?

GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen shot dead six alleged collaborators in the Gaza Strip who "were caught red-handed", according to a security source quoted by the Hamas Aqsa radio on Tuesday. "They possessed hi-tech equipment and filming equipment to take footage of positions,"...

An Israeli Arab was killed today by Hamas rockets in Israel. Hamas shoots rockets indiscriminately at Israeli civilians. Israel defends its citizens regardless of religion, creed and race. Israel does its very best to minimize civilians casualties in Gaza, while Hamas does its very best to maximize ...

Sorry, I am straight.

1. Every Hamas rocket attack is a war crime . Hamas rocket attacks — which are aimed directly at Israeli civilians — clearly violate the rules of necessity and distinction. In fact, it’s difficult to discern any true military purpose for attacks that are more likely to hit schools and homes than th...

BMreformed wrote:It doesn't look very exciting over at eu forums.

Not really. The last activity in the politics section was over a year ago. :-/

Does anybody else know a good and active forum where to discuss politics, religion and philosophy?

Andyba wrote:So should I spend time moving all the hot political topics to http://www.eu-forums.com ?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I donot think anybody cares either way.

Good luck BMreformed!

Congrats to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.

BMreformed wrote:How wonderful! I think we should do the same in the UK. I'm tired of the M6 it's well boring. I think we should rename it 'David Beckham Drive'

That is a great idea, very rarely streets and squares are named after football hero's. It should be done more.

United fans would like Victoria Square renamed Van Persie Place. I don't think City fans would be happy, seeing as it looks like he may be the obstacle in Citys path to retaining the Premiership title :evil: Rooney Road, Beckingham Palace...just brain stroming...:-). He had some great goals the las...

Still or with bubbles? I used to drink water with bubbles, but donot like it anymore. Now I mainly drinks still water when ordering. What do you prefer I am interested?

I digress. Back to my dryathlon. Now the point of the dryathlon is to stop drinking alcohol for the month of January and donate all the money you save and donate it to cancer research. What a great idea! I thought I'd participate but I do draw the line at giving my money to cancer research. As my m...

Congratulations man! I wish I could run a marathon, how long did you train for? Thanks. About six months of intensive training. --- May 04, 2013 --- Congrats! You seem to have gone on an extended holiday now. Good for you!! Happy jogging :D Thanks. I had some catching up to do in Amsterdam and Tel ...

There is alot of political voting going on. At least we can count on the 12 points from Belgium and the other way around. Only in this case I call it brotherly love :-) . Shame that I had to read today some political leaders, I believe from Russia, Belarus and Azerbijan are calling for an investigat...

29-year-old French citizen Mehdi Nemmouche captured Friday in Marseilles, said to have ties to Syrian jihadists. A suspect in the shootout in the Jewish Museum in Brussels that left four dead has been detained, sources involved in the police probe said Sunday. I'm afraid we will hear more about retu...
