    You mean as a kind of interactive “overcome your fears” programme: no guns but more government than they ever imagined possible?

    Because both camps who are not getting a dal are the ones who'd be winning next elections with even bigger amount of votes. Also we already had an extra voting, sorta.

    Well, maybe we will, but please, not before February 17th. I WANT THAT WORLD RECORD! Stupid Di Rupo is trying to ruin it by proposing a government of national unity. With 9 parties instead of 7. Indeed, if you can't come to an agreement with 7 different political parties, then you'll most likely come to an agreement with 9 different parties.



    Will we make it? Will Belgium become world champion in government formation? Let's hope so! This should be celebrated! Maybe I should start getting drunk this week-end already, to prepare for the real celebrations.

    I just find it hilarious that the part with the French name is Dutch-speaking (Flanders) and the part with the Dutch name is French-speaking (Walloon).

    Soap opera Belgium.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    And Louis is heavily biased, since he only reads Le Soir aka the written Belgian equivalent of Radio Mille Collines.

    agreed, it would be an excellent demonstration of the continueing relevance of the nation-state, and amusingly, one from the very heart of the supranational european project.

    Ah, so we have to keep and pay for Brussels? Agreed, but only if France also takes over 50 % of Belgians' debt then.
