    I'm afraid that in a few months there won't be any Greece left to buy. Actually there won't be any Greeks! All these new financial laws there passing and the further cutting down of our salaries is going to send as to the grave.


    Hmmm...so could I, like, maybe put in a good bid for some Greeks then?


    Just the juicy babes. You don't need anyone else. OR else, just Stavi.

    Aaaand our government has now officially fallen. The king accepted the resignation of our prime minister. Perfect timing: 2 months before Belgium takes over the EU Council Presidency for 6 months and in the middle of a crisis, both nationally and internationally.

    New elections are on the way, but will be actually illegal because the problem I describe above is not solved. The mayors of these communities have already announced they will boycot the elections.

    I'm sure the politicians will find a solution to that problem. And I can predict the same politicians will be elected again, lead by the conservatives. rolleyes

  5. Seeing the lack of replies I can only say this :

    Belgium's problems are peanuts. If only the politicians saw it this way.

    Tragic. The third picture made me emotional. There are some beautiful pictures too though, especially the first one.

    let me just say this, who needs a government in Belgium?
    these guys haven't done one single thing in about 3 years now, but everything still runs!
    Who needs these guys anyway?

    I say throw them all on the street
    what a waste of time and money vomit

    shocked

    The logical response is: Does 8+% strong beer even exist in England?

    Never heard that one? But now I think of it every time I've seen someone at 9.00AM with a can of that stuff dangling from one hand they've always looked unemployable....not that I regularly see 9.00AM drunks on the street biggrin wink

    Is Tennents Super still sold? I think that one was about 10% and tasted by battery acid.

    That has slightly less alcohol than Special Brew... not that I would know.

    p.s. Apparently Tennents is the same strength as Special Brew, 9%.

    ...I had to look it up, honest.

    BUT I KNOW IT HASN'T!

    Not that I would know.
  25. I remember there was a Tennent's lager that went the rounds several years ago. It must have been up at about 14-15% strength - and it was horrible! It almost had the consistency of treacle.

    Eeeeeuuuwwww! Sounds dreadful, I can't imagine making it through many cans.

  27. Treacle may have been a slight exaggeration but there was certainly a consistency that was thicker than usual.

    I don't think that it lasted very long.

    Things here are going really, really bad. New financial laws are going to be announced tomorrow including 10% more cutting down of my salary (a 10% is already off) and no more christmas and easter bonuses. That means about 4500 euros less per year and 300 euros less per month. Mind you in slararies which are about half the ones of the rest of Europe. The total amount my family loses is 10.000 euros and right now I'm getting paid less than I did last year. I'm really upset and I want to see all these assholes in jail!
    It;s the first time in my life I fell so pessimistic and I know that all the plans and all the hopes I had for the future are not going to be realised.
    Whatever you gaze rests on,do not use your vision, but the eyes of your soul...She knows better...
  29. Really sad to hear that. Our country is a mess as well, a political one but I have to say it's not nearly half as bad as the situation in Greece, from the little I know about it. The world's going to shit and not a thing we can do about it. angry

    I wonder how it'll be in a hundred years, or a thousand years from now.

    It's very sad; we aren't planning anything anymore Stavi, we're just surviving at best.

    Sad thing, is that more are probably going to follow. Hope that's prevented in the end, but things aren't looking too good.
