Sunday, June 17th, 2007

I’m a sucker for the underdog, and when I spent last week in Britain, I picked up the vibe around Paul Potts, a mobile phone dealer who, well, see for yourself:


(first appearance)


(semi-finals)

Tonight are the finals, so anxious to see the results!

Update He won! See his final performance below:

Oh, and btw: NEVER EVER go to the Mi Familia restaurant in Stamford, UK. We had the worst treatment ever at that place.

Edenaar crashes into 22 cars

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

ARNHEM - A 23yr old guy crashed into 22 parked cars on monday morning.

The guy, who remained unhurt, proved to be under the influence of alcohol, according to the police.

The Edenaar went by unknown cause in a slide, his car tumbled over and kept on rolling, crashing into 22 other cars.

Wow. Couldn’t even have done that being sober…

PSV - Kampioen ?!

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I would not have dared to predict this, and even during the match itself still no good feeling, but the unthinkable happened…
PSV KAMPIOEN!

And as my little godson Jarno immediately wrote me: Knoei Kampioen!

(And yes, we WILL remember this season and how PSV became champion)

Finallii got a Wii !

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Was just browsing the Media Markt today, when suddenly noticed that they actually had two Wii’s available! Snatched one (turned out to be the first delivery they had since X-Mas), colleague of mine got the other one.

Wiiiiiiii!

(Ofcourse bought it for Wii-sports, cheaper than a subscription to the fitness centre)
