        • Or he just wants to keep the tension mounting... Some cliff-hanger, n'est-ce pas?

              How can you be missed when you're still here?

                  Well I don't miss any of you, so I guess we're even.
                  Who are you?

                  btw, cute avatar.

                    Well, I see reading isn't everone's forte:

                    It's quite simple actually...

                    During our Golden Century (the 17th century) we had the first republic in our part of the world, the so called Republic Of The Seven Provinces. One of those provinces was called Holland and it was the most influential, mostly because Amsterdam was THE city during that time period. Since most of the rest of the Republic was still a backward agricultural dump the name Holland became a synonime (sp?) for the whole country.

                    But now, over 300 years later the name Holland still haunts us Dutch that are not living in said province (now divided in two, Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland). We resent being called Hollanders and anyone from Amsterdam who doesn't care ought to be shot.

                    Have a nice day

                    • And proud you should be, Hueij. Thanks for those details about your country's history. Very interesting. Is there a Movement to change the name to something else??

                        Hehe... the pride comes from this inferiority complex. Small country surrounded by big ones. The only thing we care about during the next Euro Championship Football is that we beat the Germans

                        But changing our name? Why? What we should change however is our form of government. We were the first republic and now we are one of the last monarchies?

                        • Surely your monarchy is largely a figurehead like ours?

                          • I know ours is.
                            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                              I wish... Our queen has a large influence when it comes to forming a new government

                              We had quite a few laughs at the expense of the House Of Orange last year though
