Congratulations Belgium!

You have now entered the record books!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2...ment_formation

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!

An almost perfect bureaucracy but they failed in the end.

Belgium is a country invented by the English to annoy the French.

No, invented by the English to annoy Germany !

Sure love pommes fries and belgian chocolates though ,
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.

Greetings,
Catfish

You know, did the Belgians rip off the flag from Germany or vice versa?

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.

Poor Neal.
I CAUGHT IT!

The title is spelled
BEGIUM
no L.


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"
