So why do the Dutch say Willem 11 "Willem tway" the same way they do in Dumfries?

Dutch for 11 is 'elf'

Pronounced the same way as you would in English

They pronounce Willem II as 'twee' because that's Dutch for two. 

The club name is Willem II not Willem 11. 

Unless, you were taking the piss? 

Source? I live in The Netherlands and speak Dutch.

Apologies for going all wogan-esq but as one of life’s inevitable tangents...

I had guessed the Dutch bit, I was just shite at typing II.  But I also knew about the Dumfries pronunciation due to a conversation at the Troon open 2000 ish.  On seeing an American golfer in the bunker he remarked “there’s Tway in the bunker” (there were two Americans both in the bunker) to which I replied “no, that’s Parnevik”

oh how we laughed, quietly obvs.

true story!  Thanks for indulging.

Spanish is not closer to French than Spanish

I'll trust David's opinion on the subject more than yours Millermong

Spanish is closer to French than Portuguese

South American football is dreadful.   Niggly foul every 30 seconds,  ref never gets a card out so they know they can get away with it.   I  saw at least a dozen fouls that would be a card in Scotland just in the 2nd half.  Not even full blooded tackles or anything to get excited about,  just trips and barges to disrupt play.  Boring as fuck.
