You can sell the house - it’s just not so straight forward for the buyer to get a mortgage.

Funnily enough the organisation I frequently sub to is the diametric opposite of that - it’s normally the women telling the men to stfu and concentrate on the matter being discussed. Us men are a belligerent lot, though, but we do get the job done and none of us have nanked each other yet. Fingers crossed.

That’s something I’ve always wondered myself - I’m not sure why the spelling mutated, but then I’m not a native speaker.

The Spanish name Enrique can be diminutised to “Kike” (key-kay) but PlayStation network banned accounts with that name as the word in English is slur against Jews.

One of my favourite football chants:

“You cannot spell Scunthorpe without cunt, You cannot spell Scunthorpe without cunt, You cannot spell Scunthorpe, You cannot spell Scunthorpe, You cannot spell Scunthorpe without cunt”

Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

Your last point all depends whether we take the spirit of the law or the letter of the law… but perhaps there could be a non-Dutch higher court to decide any contentious points?
