why cant the belgians create a proper network of road signs. we hadnt past the border for 5 miles and got lost already. when you passed the damn crossroads after that you get the sign. some signs got french names other got belgian names, how the **** should i know wich name matches wich village. when you get a sign at a crossroad, you pass it, you get to a other crossroad, and the signs are not there....wich friggin road must i take. i hate BELGIAN ROADS and their Ministry of INFRASTRUCTURE
I agree the Belgian system of road signs is far from perfect and it is very notorious here just across the border. However, apart from Belgium-bashing, what is the point you're trying to make, Umeu?

If Beirut continues like this,
He's gonna take BKS's place.... I think Beirut's suited very well for the Backroom.... Very harsh(a very needed virtue for the Backroom), but doing his job very well....
And come on!!!
Nobody wants to visit our roads?! ~D

The Belgian-Dutch bashing and vice versa is part of the tradition of our countries, no harm is intended, usually.
On topic: yes, the road signs are horrible here ~:handball:
Edyz,
I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full.
I am not being harsh, I am following BKS's intent of ruthlessly hunting spam.
I am also asking people to refrain from posting comments like "you're stupid" and "screw you", which have showed up lately and are completely out of place in the Frontroom.
The Frontroom is a colourful, safe and friendly place to converse with fellow Org.sters. It will be kept that way by sword point if required. :knight:

I agree with Beirut. Its getting difficult to pick up on the interesting points being made in threads because you have to sift through pages of Spam!
Yes, yes, back in a long forgotten past, I`ve been there done that. But hardly anyone is left to remember anymore.
Dont worry Sat, there are still many of us that remember you ~D :bow:
yeah i remember saturnus being a mod, i reckon he was possibly the best mod in the tavern for a long time.

There´s a saturnus supermod? Cool, where can I download it?
but now that i think of it, only a belgian would defend belgium....

Addition: come on beirut, if you won't let dutchies insult belgium and belgians insult holland, you're removing our civil liberties, its like english insulting frenchies and vice versa. we need this to exist and at least keep some nationalism, in this capitalist/globalist world.
hey by the way does anyone know where i can learn dutch off the internet, or does anyone know of dutch tutors in my local area. The sunshine coast in south east queensland in australia, could you please inform me about it.
thanks,

Not really, we're Belgians because we aren't anything else. We don't identify with Belgium (a little with flanders or Wallony these days) we just don't want to be considered part of any other European country either.
The Belgian-Dutch rivalry is so strong (imo) because the Dutch often think of Flanders as a lost part of their country. I heard that there is much more of a French-Belgian rivalry on the other side of the language border for the same reason.

To drink beer of course.
Don't you guys know anything?
Besides, the Frontroom is where you sleep with the other guy's wife, not insult his nationality. That's the Backroom. :bow:
yeah this isn't an insult of nationality, but rather poking fun at each other, in a lighthearted and humourous fashion.
its nothing like calling a canadian an american or anything like that.
thanks,

yup so true.
Yes indeed, Dutch insulting Belgians and vice-versa is a very important part of the culture of this part of the world. Dutch accuse Belgians of being dumb, while Belgians accuse Dutch of being greedy, for example. This is caused by our (mutual) history and apart from the first examples it makes Dutchmen see Belgians as lazy, beer-drinking, Catholic, frie-eating, talking-behind-your-back and having far too much fun, while Belgians view Dutchmen as overactive, Calvinist, loud, rude, bad beer-drinking and generally not much fun people. This usually happens in good cheer and nobody really takes offence of the other (exept for the Dutch PM, of course). ~:cheers: This situation can actually be very interesting, when you are from a border region like me, as many Northern Dutchmen will refer to us as "Half Belgians", while Belgians will consistently call us "Hollanders"... Hmmm, would this make it okay for me to insult both? ~;)
