Surprised you're not calling yourself a Fries . Bûter, brea, en griene tsiis; wa't dat net sizze kin, is gjin oprjochte Fries. Or do you speak luwarders? Anyway I was born in Groningen but with Fries blood coursing through my veins and currently living in the Philippines. Nice to see a fellow country man on these boards. And yes. Not knowing Koopmans as a Leeuwarder would be unforgivable. Is he still giving lessons at Boksschool Frisia?
Frysk blut! Leaver dea as slaef I call myself Dutch and Frisian, I lived in Leeuwarden most of my life. I speak both Frisian and Luwadders. Do you box yourself? No, he occasionally trains there from what I've heard. I train at Olympia so I'm not very sure. Piet Roosendaal is still the first trainer, second is Pascal Hartkamp. They have a branch in the Westerein (Zwaagwesteinde) now, rough characters over there.
Death over slavery! And no I'm not a boxer, have had some lessons for fun as a kid but ended up competing in badminton on a pretty decent level. However i've always had an interest in about anything to do with sports. Boxing became a main interest when i moved to the Philippines where Pacman is the local sports hero. Rough characters in Zwaagwesteinde now or Frisia in general? Used to have a friend from Leeuwarden with some stories about the local penose .. but that's too far off topic i think.
:happy Ah ok. It's very big over there, wish it was the same here. Zwaagwesteinde, the Walden are known for their aggressiveness. Myn Herder is myn redder. Herder is a brand knife I probably know all the characters involved if it's not too long ago
Well, the only people I've met from Holland are sexy female nymphomanic blonde bisexual students, so you're a deviation from that sequence.
