She is.

Sleepeasy commented on 01.17.07
Your family sounds almost as complicated as mine.

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 01.17.07
She WAS new on the street.

I imagine the mattress maestros made the change to discourage spambots, though I don't recall the site ever being hit.

Smart Set commented on 09.04.05
Dan said the site is now stripping out the HTML. Don't know why that should be, though.

ART commented on 09.04.05

wim commented on 08.09.05

wim commented on 08.07.05
yep

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
It was a great honour to catching ART catching his 200 .

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
Jaak, you were 5 days faster. I meant you poached it because ART saw it first. Not criticising you, just teasing.

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
Now I know it begins with a P.

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
ART, you should do a link to your pic.

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
Wim then it's still a secret for me .

wim commented on 08.07.05
nope

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
Wim , his socks ???

wim commented on 08.07.05
Jaak, I was not referring to his face

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
Wim which secret see 5558 and 8082 !

Jaak Graaf van Stokkem commented on 08.07.05
S.S. Poaching ??? I was one day faster .

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
Nasty smoker's cough there, FOD?

wim commented on 08.07.05
Perhaps this whole namething is due to tghe fact that it is not really our choice, but we live by it.My father is a Willy in Belgium, but he worked for an American company, and there he was Bill, although his signature is a C.W.( He was never ever called after his C)

FOD40UK commented on 08.07.05
Before my time (ahem!)

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
Of course, our heir to the throne's son is called Wills. FOD, do you remember Wills Whiffs?

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
Jaak, with consummate photographic skill and judgement you have immortalised the exact moment that ART took his picture.

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
So, FOD, OK if we call you GrandFOD in future?

Smart Set commented on 08.07.05
I have never meta-streetmattress-hunter-in-action-in-Acton-or anywhere- else-for-that-matter.

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
As opposed to www.streetmattresshuntersinActon.com?

Salinger commented on 08.06.05
I like this photo. It's meta-streetmattress material, the sort of photo I'd expect to see on www.streetmattresshuntersinaction.com

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
I have two grandsons.Ben (not Benjamin), and Daniel (not Dan!) work that one out!

Nancy Dumpling's Mum commented on 08.06.05
Possible, but no!

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
Willy?

Nancy Dumpling's Mum commented on 08.06.05
Or Will, as in nephew. Can't imagine him as a Bill or Billy.

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
p.s.We call Williams "Billy" or "Bill"

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
Over here (and in the US) its not unusual to have the same name as your grandfather, or father come to think of it, (I work with a Hilton Smith the sixth (VI))

wim commented on 08.06.05
actually it says "Guillaume" on my Identity Card, which is French for "William", in German "Wilhelm" and in Dutch "Willem" So it is short for "Willem". It was a habit to give French first names when I was born and they resented German names, as my grandfather was "Giel", short for Guillaume, although his official name was Willem, we could not have the same name, hence "Wim"

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
Is "Wim" a shorter version of a longer name?

wim commented on 08.06.05
there goes another secret, Jaak

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
Nice direction Art (Peter-a name we share!)

wim commented on 08.06.05
and she is new on the street

Smart Set commented on 08.06.05
And you submitted it before him, Jaak. That's poaching! Nice pic, though.

FOD40UK commented on 08.06.05
Hey!,Art!-No white socks?!
