Did he play or manage in England ? I recognise his name. Or did he have any caps for Holland ? No. He played his entire carreer for Vitesse Arnhem, 369 matches from 1983 to 1997. No caps. He managed Polonia Warsawa for two whole months in 2011 and FC Dordrecht for half a year, until illness forced him to retire early in 2012. There's another Dutch sportsman named Theo Bos, a talented cyclist, with several world sprint championships under his belt, now a road cyclist. regards, Hein

Indeed. I made a similar post in the right one. regards, Hein

Dead, but of course the non-skating, so the English speaking, part of the world completely ignored this fact. Anyway: she won one silver and two bronze medals at the 1972 Winter Olympics @ Sapporo, Japan. Not quite as impressive as her four World Allround Championship titles, mind. regards, Hein

Would that work the other way around, as in: if I don't get a BBC obit I won't die? Well I've never had a BBC obit and I haven't died. My thoughts exactly. regards, Hein

Remember Johnny Hoogerland? He's the chap who needed 33 stitches to patch him up when he ended in barbed wire after he was bumped off the road by a television car in 2011's Tour de France. Now he's in IC after a car ran over him while he was training in Spain. regards, Hein

Cremated today. Must have have been a smelly affair. regards, Hein

I think he means me. I posted that "talking to oneself in public" remark as a reply to four posts from the same IP address. How that makes me a Nazi bastard I fail to understand. I think I'll order one of my agents to call that number. Sieg, Hein

Play chess. Translation: regards, Hein

Suriname is part of South America, but I doubt many Surinamese identify as Americans. I've been told Damnyankee is both precise and widely accepted. regards, Hein

Today in 1907 (20 January according to the Julian calendar then still in use in Russia), Russian chemist and inventor of the periodic table that all students of chemistry know and love, Dmitri Mendeleev died, aged 72. regards, Hein

Rugby, Cricket, Golf or Football? It makes a difference. Hairy. Ah, we're moving into the always exciting field of algebraic topology. regards, Hein

On general principle: Jaruzelski. regards, Hein

That's German with a strong Hungarian accent. It translates to: "Do you want to go to my place -- bouncy-bouncy?" regards, Hein
