This blog seems to have more readers than I hoped for, and that's good news. On the other hand, most of these readers/followers don't read Dutch and are freaking out using Babel fish on me. This translator tells his own stories so don't believe everything it offers.
The last couple of weeks I went into translating some parts of my book ' Now I hesitated to publishing these chapters on my blog in English as Dutch is my first language. And it's a complicated dialect with a lot of tricky- and non- logical rules in spelling. I could say my Dutch is flawless, but even then it's hardly impossible to write without any blunders, but what to expect me doing such in English ?
So, my American, Asian, Australian, Scandinavian and other European readers, bite your nails on these stories to come.

I thought Danmark was a province of the Netherlands Jack, but it seems to be near Antarctica regarding your penguins.....
Hahaha.
Well, most of the Americans seem to think Denmark is Dutch so I'm beginning to think I'm Dutch too! :-)
Good on you for starting to post in English. Don't worry about the odd mistake here and there, it's definitely easier to read (even if I AM supposed to read Dutch, LOL).
I have just this minute discovered your new English posts and I look forward to reading your stuff. As a complete coincidence I watched "The Firebird Conspiracy" on video just a few days ago (on vhs from Finland no less!).
I don't know if you're familiar with it but I do a blog on war films from the Philippines:
