You do realize that your ‘Golden Age’ in the 17th century was the result of an influx of Belgian scientists, philosophers and skilled workers that wanted to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of your war with the Spanish at the time?

You should join us instead!
So we can refuse and mock you for asking in the first place. *

Antwerp, Brugge and Gent profited quite a lot from our Golden Age I think.

Edit: he even made our national news: http://nos.nl/artikel/624280-waalse-zanger-is-vlaamse-lieveling.html

The funny thing is: this happened on the same day that the ‘Vlaams Nationaal Zangfeest’ was held - an event that started out years ago as a musical show to promote Flemish music but quickly devolved into a platform for a bunch of idiots a vocal minority to get an independent Flanders.

I call Axel Hirsoux’s victory a very poignant ‘Take that!’ to those morons Flemish nationalists.

* Don’t you just love the Belgian-Dutch friendly rivalry and constant competition and banter?

LOL!

You mean, like this?

Geert Wilders is clowning around again, this time with a statement about Moroccans.

Did he say they’re good with maracas?

All I can say is: “Nurse! Nurse! He’s out of bed again!”

Good to hear that people are turning their backs on him, even in his own party…

Man I was so angry when I saw that. I truly hope he will serve time in jail for this and his infamous ‘kopvoddentaks’ idea. I also found it pretty amazing that our Prime Minister Rutte doesn’t rule working together with Wilders out completely.

Waar moet het heen met dit land?

So, if I were to make a video showing off my new house (which I plan to do for my online friends once I’ve made everything pretty), would you want it silent or me gibbering and pointing out things in the background?

I’d love to see you gibbering Fantasie! And pointing things out in the background. It makes it much more personal.

Ok, and now finally I can show what I came here for: a video of a flash mob in Odessa, Ukraine, playing the EU’s anthem.

I always wonder with flash mobs like this one how they get all their big instruments in place unseen. I picture those people as real life Kate Walkers, pulling enormous things from their inner pockets as she always does.

I’ve never been in this thread, but as it is for “rambling” and, as title says, “Anything Goes”, I will just make (probably) one-off appearance to say a bit about recently closed thread An Infamous Lack of Professionalism
(http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/3315)

I have seriously reduced my activity in ag forum, partly as some members irritate me. So I somewhat understand rdtlj. Apparently I wonder around different threads as I have nothing to say about Lambonius and Blackthorne though.

I take no side. I just want to make a nod to rdtlj for the work s/he have made. Clearly s/he have got more than enough to initiate such research.

I do agree some of the overall points of thread though. I do appreciate politeness (a thing the last poster, before the thread was closed down, Advie has unfortunately lost over the years) and objectiveness. At the same time I think highly of honesty and despise taking no responsibility of said things.

I have mixed feeling regarding the closing of thread. Sure, it would have been a huge war. A lot of hurtful things would have been said.
But at the same time, IF ag members would have behaved like grownups, maybe it would have worked as a purge as people would have been able to say out what annoys and how some members can improve their communication skills (not only Lambonius and Blackthorne).

Teh Internetz. Or something.

You know, there are always people who don’t quite understand social interaction’s two-sidedness. Of course, sometimes it’s best to just ignore them… *shrug*

Anyways, that’s part of the reason I mainly just hang at the Chit Chat side - all the nice people are here
