Vanochtend voor dag en dauw ben ik opgestaan. Om 4 uur, om precies te zijn. Ik had al een tas klaar staan met daarin een boek, een trommeltje brood, een banaan, limonade en ik had een thermosfles waarvoor ik alleen nog koffie moest zetten. Keurig netjes gooide ik de koffie ...

I really like the Stones, and I still won't forgive Keith Richards for falling out of a tree. They had to cancel the concert I was supposed to go to on 1 August last year, that was really sucky. The band will have to come back to .nl next year ...

Gesproken taal en geschreven taal hebben een duidelijk verschil: het is veel moeilijker om subtiele bedoelingen, zoals sarcasme en ironie, uit te drukken op papier dan in gesproken taal. Een regel tekst mist bedoelde intonatie, gewicht, accentuering en pauzes. Je kunt het lezen zoals je wilt. Sinds gisteren is hierin ...

I thought about telling the world and then decided against it for tactical reasons. However, FooBar has decided to blog it, so I might as well reply. Yes, I left him, and no, that decision wasn't easy. Even though I felt it was necessary for me to leave, it hurt ...

Het viel wel erg op toen Mark en Martin (FooBar en Rodecker dus) naast elkaar zaten in de Beiaard:
<Rodecker> dat is toch niet C&A hè?
<FooBar> jawel hoor
<Rodecker> oh nee hè!
<Rodecker> ik heb dat shirt ook in het zwart
<FooBar> ik ook!

<MacTijn> welk shirt hebben jullie daar onder dan aan?
<FooBar> CCC!
<Rodecker> Megabit!
<MacTijn> ...
