    Oh look! The Belgian answer to Heineken.

    Nothing in a green bottle is worth drinking.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Absolute truth.

    Beer either comes in a barrel or a brown bottle. Nothing else.

    Lighter bottles lets sunlight ruin the beer, while cans gives a different taste as well as foam it up.

    What about cans?

    As I said, the metal can screws up the taste and the tiny hole makes way too much foam. Undrinkable.

    Is there a stereotype I'm not aware of?

    Of course not, it isn't like they all get roadkilled when walking drunk on the road if they don't get alcohol poisoning first or overdose on amphitamins. Just many. Not all. No stereotype.

    Actually it is true. Unless the brewery uses the relatively new and hightech tetrahop.

    We made it!





    I'd like to thank our heroic politicians for this wonderful achievement! A job well done!



    LEVE BELGIE! VIVE LA BELGIQUE!

    To reward themselves for their achievements, Belgian members of the federal parliament gave themselves a salary raise of 3.000,00 €, on top of the yearly indexation. Very well deserved, I'd say.

    since they are obviously over-governed given that the country continues to function without a federal government, you think there dire financial peril might be an opportunity to divest themselves of so much wasted money?

    Belgium reaches one year without a full government

    As Belgium marks one year without a government, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy has called the political impasse "extremely pitiful".

    The former Belgian prime minister told the De Standaard newspaper that the country would need a full government soon to decide on economic policy. Member states are required to put long-term economic planning past the EU.

    Caretaker Prime Minister Yves Leterme has said three more months might be needed to form a governing coalition. Mr Leterme succeeded Mr Van Rompuy as prime minister in November 2009, but resigned in April 2010 after his government collapsed. He stayed on as caretaker until early elections in June. The separatist New Flemish Alliance (NVA) emerged as the largest single grouping. The French and Flemish Socialists together won more seats overall.
    NVA leader Bart De Wever has been unable to form a coalition administration since, far outstripping the world record recently set by Iraq
