Belgium

#

Started by Citizen Erased in Chit-Chat

Belgium has a reputation throughout Europe as being very boring. And yet…

1) It has lots of beer
2) It has lots of chocolate
3) It has lots of T? fans

Something here doesn’t add up - where the boring thing come from? Is it just a rumour started by the French?

those french guys are probably just jealous cos the only thing they have is their wine and escargots

maybe also cos of the fact that when it comes to music, eveyone knows the terrible belgian new-beat or soeur sourirre ( dominique nique nique … ) and no one knows the real good belgian music cos they all thing they’re fench or dutch, we’re just to damn shy

And Belgium has sweetbread, Which I found to be one of the weirdest tasting things ever! That’s about my extent of knowledge, mind you, I was only there for about an hour!

Really? I agree we have a lot of boring people in our country, but still…

Who cares anyway as long as Therapy? thinks we kick ass :D ?

I think it’s more to do with being percieved as an inbetween country myself. People always tend to think of France, Germany or Holland so it does seem to get overlooked.

Now I think you made yourself enemies in Belgium. To be overlooked because of the vicinity to Holland is really hard. :D

I’m not stating my own personal viewpoint, I’m making a mention of how the country generally seems to be looked at by other people.

Actually, come to think of it…I am one of those people!

Sorry Belgium!

Have no idea - I think it’s just one of those things like English and the Irish, or the English and the French (Welsh, Scots, we’re a bunch of bastards really), or Americans always taking the piss out of Canadians.
