thats right. I was on holiday in Spain when a girl from England said the same thing. Its probably because we learn it in the purist way possible and don't talk "local" English if I can put it that way. but it still would be a lot easier if you'll spoke Dutch

Um, ok, let's try this... you either can't believe or are glad that we know trance in africa, and that I might be the only trance addict but that doesn't matter? (not sure about that last part.) and then of course the trance is one nation part is totally understandable *grins*

The parts I didn't totally understand are:
echt wel te gek?
bent = is?
dat doet er niet to?

Good point, but if you went to some parts of England having only learned "the Queens" (proper) English you'd have the same problem. The east end of London for instance where a lot of rhyming slang is used, and some of the regional accents and local dialects in the North of the country make it very hard for even me (living in the South) to inderstand without really concentrating. And don't even get me started on Cornwall

The moral of this story? tu_face, GoldenarmZ and Rainbowbrite all talk funny.

yeah, I know that too, the accents and all, especially going in the other parts of UK (like N Ireland or I guess even Scotland) where things can get really hard.

the moral of my story? none
