All this talk of Belgium makes me want to go there properly. What's the weather like in October? And how does one get from Brussels to Bruges?
Sorry, I'm, err, waffling.

PJ is correct once again, Belgian league = best bit of Eurogoals, so many goals, and some of them have quality.
Belgium has provided us with some cool footballers.

Do check out that record store I mentioned in this thread - the one near the Manneken Pies. You have to have an open mind, not intent to really find what you're looking for, but you will find some great records for ridicously low prices.
(Christ, my English is going down the drain due to sleep deprivation.)

Also, that weird Belgian game where you count the number of times a caged bird will sing, marking each instance with a notch on a stick.

What negative list? I never mentioned anything bad, aside from the fact that some think it's boring. :-)
This isn't done in other countries? I never realized this!

Beer
Drugs
Small cars that look like shit and go like stink
Massive airports
Plenty highways like the "a10" the final exit of the E40 to Oostende not many ppl kno it but ppl go full out on that 22 km highway with no cops cameras or anything like that but, if youre lucky and fast enough, u can impress the chick on the train. The track stays next to the road for 5 km, plenty of time for some massive "representation" of power.
And last but not least
Drivers who KICK ASS!!! i was in germany a few weeks ago and my dad was doing about 220 kmh and i felt good in our 2001 bmw m5 with 400 horse stock v8. until maybe a pack of belgian in subis, crx's mitsu colts, peugeuot 406's and various other car including lancia delta integrales and Rover turbo's. We tried but we could not keep up at 296kmh and over, CHAPEAU, HAT OFF
BELGIAN RESPECT!!!

I'm trying to find a cheap room to let and I'm emailing a woman about one in Etterbeek near the Petillon metro station. Does anyone know anything about that area?

Does the Brussels metro stay open late, do you know?
― Cathy (Cathy), Thursday, 6 April 2006 13:17 (eighteen years ago) link
In case it doesn't work: about 5AM to about midnight. It's on line 1A, which is one of the biggest lines in Brussels.
(Annoyingly, that MIVB site is only in French and Dutch.)

(I don't know much about Brussels, to be honest. I can find the Ancienne Belgique by car, but one roadblock and I'm lost. So I'm afraid I can't help you with the region around Etterbeek.) (I'll gladly google stuff for you, so ask away anyway)
