Hallo,

Well, all Dutchmen know that in Belgium the f-word is
called a velo, as we often in public are honoured with
a very loud "gij velo-zot". (you, bicycle-fool").

Hi,

Well, I have been thinking it over and over again,
but stake AND sun -and I was confirmed by some
engineers- are technically to be combined.
And I think to know for sure what your last word will
be.

Well, thanks, Theo ... I think.

It sounds as though the worst Luc and I (each with a political border
against him) can expect is to be martyred and then to be remembered as
glorious figures that were treated as heretics because they were ahead of
their time.  What could be more European?

Imagining possible technical combinations used in the execution boggles the
mind. Who will throw the first match? And how long ahead of time do you have
to start applying for sainthoods?

Cheerio!

Reinhard/Ron
