I was wondering for a brief moment what part of Alpine France had been annexed by the Netherlands.It's a great shame that Dauphiné has been crippled by Hollande's territorial reform.

Het Volk, lol. I didn't think people were still pushing that name.
He does have "old" in his name, so maybe he just prefers things to stay as they used to be.
Sure, but even guys like Beian Holm begin to admit that it's a bit silly to refuse to use the "new" name.
Calling it Het Nieuwsblad would be to acknowledge Wim Vos, and I refuse to do so. Trust me, you'd understand.

Some names are too silly to be respected.It would be calling a race by its name.

Sorry now I'm sad about that time we were debating whether to build a huge mountain from scratch which never happened because it was actually ludicrousI wonder why the Netherlands would want to annex Alpine France?

Original proposals were pure fantasyland stuff like 2000m high hollow building with skiing slopes and the entire shebang.![]()
Zo komt de zeventig meter hoge fietsberg in Zoetermeer er mogelijk uit te zien
Menigeen noemde het plan voor een fietsberg bij Zoetermeer luchtfietserij, maar de Fietsklim is wel degelijk technisch en financieel haalbaar zeggen de bedenkers. Het plan is nu om een 70 meter hoge houten constructie los naast SnowWorld bouwen.www.ad.nl
Is it?
Small step for a man, giant step for society. If this succeeds, you can set your clock to it that the likes of Thijs Zonneveld and other inbreds will jump out of the woodworks to demand more. Die berg komt er.Original proposals were pure fantasyland stuff like 2000m high hollow building with skiing slopes and the entire shebang.
70m isn't much more than the 'let's cover this trash heap and put a single lane road on it' stuff we already have with the VAM berg.
