I know the anthem
"Ben ik van Duytschen Bloed"

BTW when the Belgians had princess Elisabeth a few years ago was it also on the front page,
because our royal family has its origin in Germany to (Von Saksen Coburgh-Ghota)

That sentence actually just means:

"I'm from dutch blood"

"ben ik van nederlands bloed"

"Duytschen" is old-dutch voor "dutch" :? :)

So it has evry little to do with Germany!

You're correct. First lines of the Dutch national anthem:

William of Nassau, scion
Of a Dutch and ancient line,
Dedicate undying
Faith to this land of mine.
A prince I am, undaunted,
Of Orange, ever free,
To the king of Spain I've granted
A lifelong loyalty.

This is the newspaper I read most often (it will probably be a dead link tomorrow):

I sometimes read this one as well (mostly on Thursdays - they have a promotion where they publish DVDs ;) - and on Fridays, when they have a fantastic humour insert):

I could only find this one:

The other one I read I couldn't find a picture for. Haagsche Courant

I'm ashamed to say I've only read the two I subscribe to. I should really have checked out many more - nothing to do with the princess, though.

Yup, and William of Orange wás born in modern-day Germany, though he did spend a lot of time as a youngster at the court of Charles V in Brussels, of course.

At that point in time there wasn't that much of a national divide between the European élite. The division ran between nobility and commoners.

since you read it, please explain that title about Pessoa's sexuality.. I tryed the on-line version, but I don't have a Sapo conection.. so I can't open that news..

bn :roll:

PS: this newspaper, Diário de Notícias, shares it's Saturday's magazine with my Jornal de Notícias, it's called Grande Reportagem, and it's probably the best portuguese news magazine, unfortunetly I couldn't find any picture on-line..

It's simply an interview with Richard Zenith about a book which came out recently, which explores sexuality in Pessoa's work. It's a nice read, but nothing ground-breaking.

It is the oldest existing song, but it is our anthem since 1932, before it was
"Wien Neerlandsch bloed door d'aadren vloeit, van alle smetten vrij",
which means "Whom Dutch blood flows through the veins, clear of all
smears". That last piece could be interpreted by non-Dutch people as
being racist... :roll: :roll:

It keeps giving today's newspaper. For the ones reading this on January 5th, look at the three-column headline on the left. Ruud Gullit is returning to Feyenoord at the start of next season, he'll take over from manager Bert van Marwijk.
