Also Hans Kazan (magician stage name) had a particular way of presenting which meant I thought Dutch was quite a &#8216;hurdy-gurdy&#8217; language for years. He&#8217;s brilliant (and still a going concern), but even now watching this I think he\u00a0could be a young Paul Whitehouse character.

The one-bid items are hysterically cheap &#8211; about \u00a310-20, and the showcase only so much better (a TV and video recorder, and that&#8217;s it). I&#8217;ve got no idea what&#8217;s going on with Hole in One the thumbnail is suggesting, it feels like you either get the order completely correct, in which case you can putt a few inches from the hole, or you make a mistake in which case you have to putt from the longest spot (with obstacles!) regardless, although you seem to take your second putt from wherever the first one rests.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <em>Prijzenslag<\/em> there.
