Learn some naval terms, my friend, you're Dutch after all! ~;p
If I say I'm off the coasts of Java, I'm most probably at sea on a ship. When I'm flying something, it means I've raised a flag. And the princely banner is the banner of the Prince of Orange, and nowadays the national flag of the Netherlands.
The most likely scenario is that I'm on a VOC ship near the coast of Java, the main island of Indonesia, in the Gouden Eeuw. ~;)
It's inspired by an artwork by J. H. Isings, depicting a couple of East Indiamen off the coast of Java at the recently established Dutch trading post at Bantam, 1598 AD.
Trouwens, het zoete spul? Toch geen breezers en dat soort troep hè? Als dat zo is heb je nog veel te leren jongeman ~;)
~Wiz
no, breezers suck (i'm trying to keep it in english, so the rest can follow). but mor the Liquer-stuff malibu, Safari,and stuff. my beer-time will come ~;)
about your Location-account-stuff.
:P the dutch were not teh only people sailing along Java. and the princly banner is not copyrighted by teh dutch. many nations had a princely banner ~;),
[ass-kissing]and you english is so good its hard to tell [/ass-kissing]
Aw thanks :bow:
But I must note that English is my other mother tongue. So, I'm bilingual ~;)
~Wiz
well, that explains a lot.... my english isnt perfect but still pretty good. i just cant type shit. all teh grammar/spelling errors are typo's... never got round to 10-finger typing...
Turns out I'm one-eight Dutch, from the Van Oslen family, although it has been anglicised from then. My ancestors founded towns in New York and New Brunswick.
And my ancestors took them away ~;)Quote:
