Beste Jacqueline, Roger en anderen,

mijn Engels is niet perfect, maar 'orbituary' wil toch zeggen dat die
minister niet meer in leven is? 'In memoriam' in het Nederlands.
Je schrijft dat hij beter af is 'in orbit', bedoel je dat het beter voor
hem is dat hij nu dood is? Dat klinkt nogal cru, eigenlijk, of betekent het
iets anders?

Ik vond de filmpjes erg grappig, zijn uitspraak van het Nederlands maar
vooral ook de manier hoe hij deed, keek, zijn publiek bespeelde...
schitterend!

MvG   Ingmar Roerdinkholder
