Listen china' date=' us dutchmen call it Peking.  Oraait? 

 

 

...and if you don't believe me (or Flemish Lion), read this (OK, try to read it):

 

De Nederlandse Taalunie heeft een jaar of tien geleden een lijst met buitenlandse aardrijkskundige namen opgesteld. Daarin is gekozen voor Peking. "De Werkgroep heeft als benaming voor de hoofdstad het exoniem Peking bewaard, omdat zij de indruk heeft dat de donornaam Beijing onvoldoende is geaccepteerd."
[/quote']

 

That?s what happens when you translate stuff in a rush Wink<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Thanks for saving my butt Willehond ? BUT don?t ever call me Dutchmen again ? ever!! LOL

 

Marc Coucke ? the boss of Silence-Lotto suggested that perhaps they should freeze the start- and prize money of the pro-cyclists on a bank account (not their wage) and release it at the end of their careers ? IF they been dope free?

Sorry FlemishL, slip of the tongue I promiseEmbarrassed  Would never make such a silly mistake intentionally!Wink
