Newsflash

As most of the text is written in dutch by my mother and then typed in the PC by my father (censorship !), I thought it would be useful to have some translations of the texts for everyones enjoyment.

You will notice in the upper left side of the screen a set of small flags, just click on the flag you wish to read and enjoy the text.

As with all automatic page translators, the result may not always reflect the reality of the texts, I was quite shocked when I read in the english version that Paul had suddenly turned grey after the trip to the US. When in fact the text spoke of his suitcase.

So be warned, it could lead to some interesting discussions
