Don't you come over though, it's hard enough finding a place to live as it is :D

I once parked beside another cyclist who'd locked his bike by the front wheel. When I came back, they'd left him his wheel, and taken mine. The rest of my bike was still safely locked. :( I hate bike thieves like little else.
Do what I do - use one of those locks for motorcycles and really wrap it around every part of your bike when you lock it.

That's worked so far. I'm at a record 5 months with the same bike.

Already do. I'm up to three years! Obviously, the "I'm an engineer - there's a homing device on this bike, and a friend of mine really enjoyed his demolitions training in the army" sign doesn't hurt either. :)

Famous back-ally that :D

Andries, seeing as you're Italian, would you happen to live in Genk? Or was it Antwerpen? I forgot :embarass:
Actually I'm not Italian :D.
We just go there a lot and our family has been pondering of moving there over the generations. We've got a number of Italian friends as well.

I live in Antwerpen, which IMO is by far the coolest city in Belgium.

Well, if you know Bruxelles, you should recognize the avenue..

George Bush drove through it when he went from NATO to the EU..
Hmm. I often have a hard time recognising streets. As far as I know it could be Antwerp or even Paris. It's just one of those typical avenues.

Oh really I thought you had an Italian back ground... Oh well :D

Yeah Antwerpen rules. :cool:
I often wished we had an Italian back ground. Perhaps the decision would have been finally made in that case. Because honestly, going there for the holidays is nice, but if you're there at least two months out of twelve, why not live there?

The only Belgian city I could see myself live in is probably Antwerpen.

No idea. They do want Flanders to secede from Wallonia, but Im not sure what their feelings towards the Netherlands are. Maybe some would fancy the creation of a Great Netherlands, though Im just guessing here.

Speaking of Antwerpen and movies : the opening scene of Snatch actually takes place in the area of the city where the Jewish-owned diamond industry is.

Classic:D

Benicio del Toro rules. :cool:

There was a time at work where the political crap was on thick and heavy with major layoffs and the like, and I honestly identified with his character in the movie Traffic.

Now how screwed up is that?

We could really use some defensive alternatives. Our first XI is incredible, but our second team could not stave off relegation. We need help.
our 2nd team is better than any other team in Serie A.

Chimenti
Birindelli, Kovac, Tudor, Chiellini
Pessotto, Blasi, Giannichedda, Olivera,
Mutu, Del Piero


Except for an excellent attack, that team is in trouble.
