And the douze points goes to...Miep Gies, as reported in the thread bearing her name. Annoyed. She almost made my DDP team, but at the last minute...ik ben een klootzak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,397 Posted February 20, 2010 After a long and agonising illness, but still unexpectedly, the Dutch government died last night. With a bit of luck this'll be the last we hear of this dweeb: The next few months and polls will be interesting, with neo-fascist populist Wilders expected to take some 20% of the vote. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly the information is needed to establish the identity of rebels killed by the Colombian army attack on a FARC base last week, but the Dutch Foreign Ministry could not confirm this. Dutchwoman Tanja Nijmeijer, who is 32, joined the Colombian guerrillas years ago. She may have been on the scene of last Thursday's attack which killed the notorious rebel commander, Mono Jojoy.
