Thank you for making the federal Australian government formation look swift and organised!
I do hope for your sake that it does form soon, I'm sure you all are sick of it now!

Belgium is that small country of wannabe-Dutchmen, no wait - wannabe-Frenchmen, no wait - ah, nevermind... point is, they fail:D

An understandable confusion. When it isn't brutally exploiting African colonies or in the process of bankruptcy it's in Germany most of the time.

The title is spelled
BEGIUM

As for the OP, Looks like one confused mess. do you think they know what to complain about on any given day?
@Darkfish,
when someone asks me what significance Belgium has, I say something along the lines of "it holds the record of being the easiest country to occupy at the beginning of any world war"

Haaaaa, poooor Belgians, they don't know how good they're having. We would love to be in their place, no goverment, no politicians. The economy would recover, jobs would be created, there will be something to watch on the TV....

I think the disappearance of pedophiles outweights the loss of chocolates.

There have been icebergs bigger than Belgium. I find that a comforting thought.

No, invented by the English to annoy Germany ! :O:

Sure love pommes fries and belgian chocolates though :yep:,
one of my best friends is a Belgian (hope he doesn't read this)
How do you annoy a belgian ?
Take him into a circular room, and tell him the pommes frites are in the corner.

You know, did the Belgians rip off the flag from Germany or vice versa?
Belgium is a little but great country ...there are worst places to be born and live.....
Really ...? Is there a problem in my country ? I don't see or feel any difference in my daily life..... with or without failing politicians.
Only problem i have with the whole system in Belgium is that it still is obligatory to go vote and the politicians don't have to do enough efforts to convince us to go vote . I didn't vote last june for this inpasse between our flemish and french communities ....that's for sure .
Meanwhile ...some Belgians react with actions like this

How do you annoy a belgian ?How do you annoy a born Dutchmen who's been living almost all her life in Belgium? Tell her she's Belgian:D
It's a good thing you can't get slapped on MSN messenger:DL
My Nan used to go to Belgium a lot, she first went there at the end of the war as part of the rebuilding effort I think since she was a Land Girl, she had the time of her life out there, and used to go back there a lot.

I disagree. If Belgium disappeared tomorrow, we would lose one of the oldest, greatest racing circuits on the planet.
Of course since they cut it in half and rendered it as mundane as every other track, I kind of wish somebody would...

I think this was your secret plan, if my old brain remembers correctly... ;)
My secret plan includes Switzerland, tons of explosives, and a spirit level. The people in southern Germany will thank me that they can see till Italy.
But shhh, don't tell anyone!

Ever driven on a Belgian freeway? I hope not:dead: You really don't need any border signs cause you can easily feel when you're in Belgium. In the Netherlands the highways are a smooth layer of asphalt, cross the border and this instantly changes into bumpy, badly (if at all) maintained concrete. Heck, the Belgian freeways are of worse quality than the average back street here:dead:

Luckily Begium isn't the only European country with a chocolate mine. Swisses have mount Toblerone.

Toblerone? Dragons teeth more like. Good for embedding in the roof of your mouth!
(I love them though anyway)

Boy haven't had Toberlone for ages. And I agree there :doh:

no prob, my revenge plan on Switzerland is in the spirit of a higher purpose than filthy lucre - but I might ask you to borrow me some money when I get the explosives bill....:03:
