	Meisje van de Slijterij
		In 1994 was ik ineens zwanger en ik was er stellig van overtuigd dat het er twee waren.
		Ik kreeg geen tweeling en elke keer als ik begon te zingen ging Pepijn, waarvan ik ook nog tot een dag voor zijn geboorte dacht dat hij een meisje zou zijn en Fraukje zou heten, in mijn buik te keer.
		Dit Meisje van de Slijterij ging afgelopen dinsdagavond in de Malt Barn van The Glenlivet in Schotland geheel en volledig uit haar dak. Niet alleen de aanblik van die paar honderd mannen in kilts was daarvoor verantwoordelijk, maar ook de verfrissende, heftige, meeslepende en geweldige doedelzakmuziek van deze in Schotland mateloos populaire formatie.

	Ibrox can scare the hell out of Van Nistelrooy . . . again - [Sunday Herald]
		However Van Bronckhorst, who helped Rangers to a 4-1 win over Van Nistelrooy’s PSV Eindhoven side in 1999, feels that there is an acceptable level of hostility which the Ibrox fans and McLeish’s players can show in order to put the striker off his game and knock United out of their rhythm.
		Van Bronckhorst’s analysis of the match includes his wish that Fernando Ricksen is not only fit, but back in favour with McLeish and charged with shackling the threat of Ryan Giggs.
		But Van Bronckhorst’s concern remains that his countryman’s career is at a crucial point, not only at Rangers but internationally – and potentially on the downturn unless the player starts heeding McLeish’s counsel to lose the lurid headlines.
