  1. Well after that beautifull garden I didn't dare to post pics of my garden (had no time) but as a man of word I overcame my fear for being laughed at...lol Ok not much garden, just grass mainly, but hey I have 3 kids, and my wife takes care of 3 more.... so that's 6 flower picking, green strawberry picking kids.... We planned to have the garden redone (new pavement and grass with some higher places for plants, use the old tiles for that) but we need a new car first, but if my wife keeps on working like that I guess we'll have the funds next year.... now only for me to get 3 weeks off work.....
  2. hehe must remember this one...lol (not that I ever get drunk, but hey)
  3. well socket 939 performs well enough (my old rig is an amd x2 3800 s939) but memory is slower (ddr1 vs ddr2 on AM2) I couldn't tell the difference, but surely there are test scores to be found somewhere. GRAW/GRAW2 ran fine on my old rig AMD x2 3800 4x 512 mb ddr geforce 7600 GT silent soundblaster x-fi music I got around 25-35 fps on medium settings
  4. Lol Kram, now I know how come you get agitated during gameplay sometime, your an anonymous claustrofobic....lol Nice garden by the way, free vieuw on the fields behind it?
  5. socket 939 or AM2... makes a huge diff (dunno that mobo otherwise it would be dumb to ask...sry)
  6. The electrical power used to make hydrogine still is more than the energy from that hydrogine. New technikes are on the way to improve that, but the big oil companys are eager to buy out any patent that could damage their position, and they do..... My dad was a scientist he tolde back in the eighties that cars would run on sunflower-oil. Kids in my class told me I was nuts untill 5 years later it was in a paper like the sun (read by lower educated)....think the oild-food war will come soon enough (not a real war but a heavy discussion) The answer is quite easy but uncomfortable.... We have to cut our own energy needs first! I saved over 10% of electricity, gas and water usage last year, but then again my needs for a family of 5 are about 20% of what an average US family consumes! If I compare our usage to our own averages we are about 15% more effective at home. Still I could do a lot more if I had the money I would like to insulate my house better (double walls with air replace the air with insulation like used coffe beans could save me 10% more gas our house is gas heated by the way) As for my car, I have a Seat Alhambra that runs 1:16 on diesel (liter/kilometer) I'll sort out the gallon per mile later. I'd like to exchange ,by car by a car that weighs 350 kilo's less and has a lighter engine. It'l run 1:21 I'd love to do even better but there's an end to my money somewhere.... Ultimately I would like to put solar cells on my house and garage, but they take about 30 years to earn them back even when subsidised by our governement. (there are far more efficiƫnt solar cells avaliable but guess what happened to the patent...... Shell) I think the UN should forbid the buying of patents on non polluting energy sources by oil companies and the governements behind them.
  7. lol blame the 3rd world for getting wealthy...lol I know my old ride will turn up there, but my old ride still polutes way way less than any 4.7 litre engine....(exept for H2 burning engines off course) but I have to say your ride looks a lot cooler. Take a vacation to Europe and have a look at our rides, you won't se many muscle cars.... fuel costs hit us earlier....(maybe Monaco is an exeption) American trucks in Holland are always turned over to Gas usage (like propane) then they still are as thirsty but pollute a bit less.
  8. There go the fuel prices.... lol did you plant some trees to compensate for teh pollution of that beast? here I come with my 110 break horesepower.....
  9. Those were my favorite movies, been in love with that girl.....lol (14 at that time or so) every year we watch the movies again as they are guaranteed to show on Dutch tele someday.
  10. whow, I'm stunned. looks great.... Sad Holland is so heavilly filled up, I'd love to have a big garden, I have 233 m2 and for our standard thst a lot for a normal house over her, most go with 140-180 m2 didn't take any pics this weekend, too busy (getting a new car hopefully)
  11. I believe that if i'd plant coconut palms, or banana plants, my kids would act like monkey in no time...lol
  12. I wouldn't go there, I'd have a bad hair month after that, couldn't sit still.....
  13. You grow bananas too? Oh no they are not trees but plants.... ;)
  14. USS Fletcher.... somehow, I know that ship, maybe from a book or so...
  15. Heineken is like sewer water compared to normal Dutch beer.. most of heineken is brewn by the frogs (French)
  16. Ahwh sorry I didn't know you call that singing... Ah well Jimi Hendrix could't sing either but just as Dolly had other qualitits, ehr qualities...lol
  17. Oh and the Dutch have an very important part of finding life on Mars.... http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=neoUi4poCXI
  18. Landing wnet not completely as supposed...... What they didn't show.....
  19. Hehe, lol this could be fun. Well I'm Dutch, but I'm fond of English gardens, especially those around castles and such. My garden ait too special either, I have 3 kids, and my wife is babysitting 4 other kids. And among my kids are lovers of flowers (everyone that dares to pop gets picked professionally and taken to mom or dad as token of their love for us....) But Elvis that garden looks nice, and the kids even have their own shed and perimeter? I'll take some pics of my garden this weekend. ;) (without the wife, I don't want to give my neighbours an Idea...) She still needs a big garden for the twins..... (and she still can't sing, I like Linda Rondstad or Roberta Flack better, but I don't want to see their todays pics...lol)
  20. we camp in his sheep meadow next to it each year for about a week. (without the sheep though)
