I keep confusing the term "going Dutch" with "going commando." sage & onion I don't think I have heard that one! RobbyG Me neither, but I do know we got 16.5 million fellow Dutchmen and women around. @ MCL: As for my publication about undervalued Junior Oil/Gas/Mining companies, that is in the works, but it may take some time since I have alot of fact checking to do before I can publish it. Lot of work and also the issue needs a layout standardisation. I'm working on the latter right now. So like I said on my weblog, no deadlines yet. But do check regularly if you're interested. I need to get this puppy published in late 2009. Thats my target. It will cover the key elements of one junior 'crown jewel' company in every issue/publication, so that the investor is able to keep track of all information regarding the company. I hope to do a yearly update for every company afterwards. Well see. First things first. ;) sage & onion 16.5 million, that means at least 33million single clogs, that is beyond belief RobbyG

Bora Bora Hum, from a Ponzi scheme to clogs. Quite a leap. RobbyG Yeah you know Sage's optimism right! Unexplainable. He should read the Independant article in the General forum section. He might become a bit less positive of 'his country'. I'm wet from a compelling article. Didn't knew that was ever gonna happen. I feel for those people that construct the Ponzi building scheme. Those expat payroll should be rolling to those who have absolutely nothing. Not even a passport or return ticket home..... Where is the sanity in this!? Oh wait, ignorance is bliss... :x RedKite The Dutch , generally, are very good entrepreneurs. They set up the Dutch East India company centuries ago, trading with what is now Indonesia. They have a long history as international traders. NOW, they benefit from being at the centre of the European Union. Brussels in next door Belgium, is very close to the Netherlands. A brilliantly good domain is for marketing that country. The official Dutch tourism site is . Yet , only two provinces of the Netherlands are called Holland!! So has IMMENSE possibilities for marketing anything in the country !! The country benefits immensely from Europort at Rotterdam.....the MAIN PORT for the whole of EUROPE!! It is immense!! Netherlands also has very fine farmland, reclaimed from the sea centuries ago!! Market Gardening on rich alluvial soils is a HUGE industry. Seed potatoes ; fresh flowers ; tomatoes ; fruit and vegetables....all big industries!! They say that "God made the world, but the Dutch made Holland!!"

VOC. How could invaders who made the people suffer and stole all the resources (spices) called "good entrepreneurs"? 350+ years and left nothing ;)
It would be better to be colonized by the English back then. ;) rudeboy isnt holland under the sea level or something? so if there is a flooding all of it floods :S lol with the global warming going around and sea level rising i guess we can say good bye to holland in what 5 years? RobbyG

We, the Dutch :wink: , instead of Banglaboys like MB, actually learned something from floods and have built these high Dikes to protect ourselves.
My City (My Life) lies about 1 to 5 meters below sealevel. And I'm within 10km from the sea.
You might wanna inform the Bangladeshies that we found ourselves a cure for the water, as long as you have entrepreneurs (for engineering and a proper GDP) who make sure there is tax money available to start/complete such a project.
Example: The Afsluitdike
And remember, was done in 1931 mostly by hand in 5 years time. Length through the sea: 30 kilometers, total length to shore: 32.5km. :wink:
If my recollection is firm: Longest man-made dike in the world today.

You should read more about Dubai son.
In the time you give me, the desert has taken back his land over there and the sealevel rise will swallow all those Palms we Dutchies have dredged up from the Gulf.
Don't you think we will secure ourselves first before exporting an engineering order!?
You have 'the best of both worlds' coming for ya ;) Sea AND Desert.
Hold on puppyboy, those buildings erode faster than you ever imagined. The first thing though, that gonna hit you in the future is lack of drinking water. The costs of desalination will be so dramatically high, we have to import/export you a bottle or two. :lol: :lol: :lol:
