Hey Rags, give my congratulations to van Rompuy, yo!
The Netherlands mostly. Because we speak the same language. Practically all our jokes about stupid people are about Dutch people. The same goes for them I think. I remember reading some child's magazine when I was young. It had a joke in it like 'Why does a Belgian call... a ..." (something like that). I couldn't believe what I read. A Belgian was made fun of in a joke, instead of a Dutch person. Then I realised it was a Dutch magazine, and obviously they were saying the same things about Belgians as we were about them. All in good fun of course.
Does Belgium have a country with which it is intensely rivalrous, like Australia and New Zealand?
the sound you make when you agree.
Uhu?
Uhu.
It means our least intelligent go to Australia, and become their most intelligent.
That means that a NZ'er who emigrates to Australia is stupid, right?
We have a joke, that when a New Zealander emigrates to Australia, the IQ increases on both sides.
I'm not sure what food we eat over here is not being eaten all over the world, or in what context. We don't know anything about New Zealand here, other than that it has kiwis (both the bird and the fruit) and that the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed over there. It's basically just 'that island next to Australia'. NZ is to Australia what Ireland is to England. More nature and way cooler people.
It's Belgian, because it has Belgian flags outside, and serves Belgian food. But I've never been to Belgium, so I have no idea if this is actual Belgian food. I should start a New Zealand restaurant in Belgium. It would be a barbecue outside a supermarket, or in a backyard, and you'll smell it for hundreds of miles. When you get there, we'll all be wearing jandals, playing cricket, drinking cheap beer and making fun of Australians. Take that Belgian food.
I'm not sure if the delays are more frequent that in other countries, but they're more of a natural occurence than a rarity. And I don't know what you mean by 'It's Belgian'.
I hate it when people complain about train delays. I mean, what do they expect? No-one could run a train service perfectly, especially when there are 30,000 people who use them everyday, twice a day (where I live). Leuven? There's this place in Wellington where my friends and I go to get all day breakfast. It's Belgian, clearly, but most of us just end up getting bacon, eggs, toast, a fried tomato, etc. I'm not sure how 'Belgian' those are, but the place is cool nonetheless. They have lots of Belgian beer there, but I've never yet felt like a beer at breakfast.
Yeah, I saw!!! And no I was studying in Leuven before. My home town and home to the oldest and best Belgian university. I have to get an 8 o'clock train 4 days a week. When I oversleep a little and wake up at 8 o'clock or something, I take the train of 08:24. I have to walk 10 minutes to the campus from the railway station in Brussels, so I'm usually 5-10 minutes late when I take that one. There's no train between 08:05 and 08:24 that goes from Louvain to Brussels. They're only like 30 kilometers apart I believe, those cities. Last week I overslept a little, hurried to the railway station (about a kilometer on foot) and caught the 08:05 because it had a delay of 13 minutes. So I showed up on time anyway. And our trains themselves are not crap, but it's kind of a tradition to complain about the organisation that controls the trains, because there are a lot of delays. Though I'm not sure if it's any better/worse than in other countries.
