    how does it feel to live in the future? I can only imagine what life is like right now at 14:08

    it's a frightening prospect, do robots walk about? do pigs fly?

    do I have the wrong stereotype? I imagine belgian hooligans to have furious debates about which chocolate is best, and then they meet in a secluded car park tasting chocolate

    im not sure how our firm can match up, dairy milk stands no chance

    From Lokeren station it's only a 3 min walk to the 'Markt' (pubs & resto & pizza & pitta's enuff there)

    From the 'Markt' back to the ground Daknam, it's a 10/15 min walk... depending what you've drunk <cool>

    Can the majority of Belgians speak English? I know a lot of Scandinavians and Icelanders can speak fluent English so I was just wondering if it's the same in Belgium.

    Dunno, but if you speak in Lokeren about 'Willy'... this is our deputy of the team, Willy Peeters 82 years old, big part of KSC Lokeren football history :

    Isn't Flemish very similar to English, or am I thinking of Frisian?

    Write a sentence in Flemish and I'll try and decipher it. I promise I won't use Google Translate.

    "Morning"

    "Baker"

    "Two"

    "Brown"

    Those are the only words I can recognise.
