  • Excellent to see a fish bowl and a glass of wine on his desk :-)

  • @Damnblastify : the fish bowl was a sort of trade mark. .

  • Is he speaking German or Dutch?? or what?

  • @rudyeilabouni : it's dutch; and it's Willem Duys, a wellknown host on dutch tv and radio. he died this year.

    in this program he was looking back on many years of the Grand Gala du Disque, the dutch "grammy awards" show. I found it on a VHS-videotape my parents recorded many years ago.

  • @bezemkast Thanks.

    I know some very little German and could hear many German words in what he was saying but it sounded like a Dutch accent...

    Dutch and German are similar langauges, aren't they?

  • @rudyeilabouni : they're pretty close for your ears . .

  • Reminds me of the years just after WW2 !

  • Thanks for making us, who hadn't been born yet, live history. What a beautiful voice she had!

  • greates qoute ever spoken------All that's necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.

  • God bless England which brought civilization to the world

  • Love it. Love Vera, Love England, Love the Brits.

  • @pogmathon100 If you think that Dutch and German are supposed to be similar, think again. I speak German and Dutch, there are some similar things, but there it ends. The grammar, the pronunciation, the sounds, nearly everything is different. But, for an untrained ear all Germanic languages might sound similar, like Danish, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and partly English.

  • @rudyeilabouni indeed he's speeking dutch - hij praat nederlands !
