Among the cheeseheads (1 Viewer)

I guess there will be little talk about holland in a special forum but maybe we could create a western europe forum, for countries including Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and surroundings

Good suggestion?

Hi Erik,

That's a huge area! Benelux, perhaps, but I think France and Germany might merit their own forums, then one for Iberia (Spain + Portugal) and one for south-east Europe, the Alps & Italy

Otherwise, why not advertise BF on the Dutch Birding website? They have a huge website with lots on it, but not, as far as I can tell, a forum.

Maybe now is the right time to start off a BENELUX subforum...there are quite some new members from belgium and the netherlands!!!

I guess my American parochialism is showing :-C

There is an American football team in Green Bay, Wisconsin, called the Green Bay Packers. Partly because Wisconsin is one of the leading areas of the United States where cheese is made, fans of this team have adopted a "cheese" theme, including the nickname "Cheeseheads." At games some of them actually wear hats that represent large slices of orange cheese. So within an American context, the term "Cheeseheads" is pretty universally recognized as meaning fans of this team, the Green Bay Packers.

I probably should have kept my big mouth shut.

Check out this photo from the "fan photo gallery" of the Green Bay Packers and you'll see what I'm talking about:

Well, I'm a cheesehead . . . and I don't live anywhere NEAR Wisconsin! And there's no Dutch in the bloodlines . . . just a history of a few too many Dutch dates. LOL!! Just a Packer fan . . .

Doug, but thats just the phoney american cheese Dutch cheese is way better. And for those GreenBayPackers fans, its a little pathetic to walk around with a lump of cheese on your head, but hey, who am i to talk, all dressed in orange when the national team is playing soccer. Remember a week ago? They were playing against some team from...eeh...USA or so? I have hard time remembering it, not very impressive game
