    Hey all,

    Just wondering does any-one ever think it might be usefull for it to have another language option.

    Even if it is other Languages. Just posting this cause I am dutch and want to know does anyone else speak the language.

    Like Dutch is missing out of that list. Im sure there are other countries aswell that are missing that people from boards would know.

    Anyways does any one here speak dutch??? Srry for posting this in admin and no its not a suggestion for a new forum. Its been bugging me now for quite some time.

    Cheers

    Runfree

    So you don't want to be mod then??? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭Runfree


    im sure I had a big argument over this allready and I dont care if I am Mod or not.

    Its not a suggestion for a new Forum but where else am I going to post this. Not in the regional as I live in Tipperary.

    Dutch is just another language I know, just like german, french, english and south african.

    Gawd, give me strength!

    OK - what about an Elvish (or, is it Elven?) forum? There's a lot of discussion in it over in LOTR at the mo, and I'd like to brush up on it in the right place.

    Runfree can be mod....

    Hey Runfree,

    Here's a thought. Do you speak Dutch?
    No?

    Then shut up.

    Klootzak.

    ja, ik spreek nederlands. Heb je daar een probleem mee?

    kanker rufter die je er bent.

    So the overall anwser is yes koneke. but really I am going to stop posting for today as my general question was does any one else speak dutch. Its just a question which I wanted an anwser to.

    Cheers

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    You're full of mysteries. Like loch ness.

    The Dutch thing was brought up before. I think 3 people said they spoke Dutch. That was it.

    Was it MindPhuck? Or someone else on the CS scene?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,240 ✭✭✭hussey


    ja I spreek nederlands, mmmmmmm thats ones a keeper

    my mother is dutch, I went there every summer till I was 17,

    a place called Oss, my brother used to know Ruud Van N .. when he was 9


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Actually I think it's a good suggestion. Just like the "Abroad" forum in the Regional section. Mind you the existing languages fora aren't that busy are they?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,240 ✭✭✭hussey


    Geen zijn zij niet bezig

    Tbh I would have thought the Japanese forum would have people on it. I thought some people here were learning. I was going to take it up but couldn't find the time so it ended up in my To Do pile.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭domeara01


    loch ness is full of mysteries. just like your mother

    Maybe it was Mayhem.


    My memory fades.
