Who will win the weekend? bloopster Jul 09, 11:15

Holland!!!!! Oh, sorry... wrong board. (It won't be Eclipse though... that's for sure.) {nm} secretstalker Jul 09, 11:23

It's actually "The Netherlands" :-) (Holland being a big part of that, but not all... ;-) And Ps. They are almost playing on home ground, Facto Jul 09, 11:25

K, just for that, I'm rooting for Spain (who has already been picked by the psychic octopus to win) {nm} secretstalker Jul 09, 11:28

I find it sad that an octopuss has had better luck at picking the World Cup than I have been picking movies to long or short. {nm} mrbeankc Jul 09, 11:40

Don't feel so bad... the octopus travelled back in time from the future... that's the only reason people think it's psychic. {nm} secretstalker Jul 09, 11:43

Don't be sad - get busy! Start making boxes for the octopus, covered with pictures of the openers. Then bribe aquarium staff to get access.. {nm} Facto Jul 09, 11:56

That's the best idea I've heard all week! LOL! {nm} mrbeankc Jul 09, 13:18

Thanks - and remember; he's from the future. He knows *everything*! Facto Jul 09, 15:24

He's at it again.. ? Paul, the prognosticating octopus.. ? {nm} Facto Jul 09, 11:54

No no no... Holland is correct too !!! Root for the Orange team please . BAD Facto :o {nm} JMT Jul 09, 11:56

Hah, you just say that 'cause your from the Holland-part of the country... ;-) Nationalist! :) {nm} Facto Jul 09, 11:57

This is a complete tangent from movies (sorry) but what are the other parts of The Netherlands? {nm} secretstalker Jul 09, 11:59

None really... a few hundred years ago a part of belgium was part of it... but not anymore. Really. On to the subject of movies I say ;-) {nm} JMT Jul 09, 12:03

So.. You are definitely a Hollander, then... ;-)) {nm} Facto Jul 09, 12:12

And proudly so.; . Dutch, from Holland, The Netherlands and so on JMT Jul 09, 12:46

Heh ;-) {nm} Facto Jul 09, 12:54

Zeeland and Friesland are two of them {nm} RogerMore Jul 09, 12:09

Drenthe, Flevoland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Limburg, North Brabant, Overijssel, Utrecht and Zeeland. Holland is two out of 12 Facto Jul 09, 12:11

However, the Belgians are putting together a cunning plan to annex Zeeland and Limburg, which would... GalacticPothealer Jul 09, 12:20

OMG.. let's hope Holland never does what the Soviet Union and breaks up into millions of smaller countries... secretstalker Jul 09, 12:51

The Netherlands.... Grrrrrrr.......... ;-) {nm} Facto Jul 09, 12:54

"Holland is a name in common usage given to a region in the western part of the Netherlands." Facto Jul 09, 12:01

Nutty Professor {nm} JMT Jul 09, 12:05

And by "a number of people" it means... "Facto" :) {nm} secretstalker Jul 09, 12:05

I hear the tracking is through the roof for [PINK2], but Eclipse should get an easy second place :-) {nm} bennyboy10 Jul 09, 12:57
