  Objection!
  
  There is Nothing boring about Belgium.
  
  The country that gave us the Saxophone, Bakelite, Chimay and many other Great Beers, the Best French Fries in Europe and fabulous chocolate, as well as Spa - the race circuit can't be bad.
  
  Besides, the Belgians are great people, especially those in TSSC Belgium!

    Before I start ruining international relations , I was recalling the wet half term school holidays being bored by the 'adventures' of Tin Tin. Only the cartoon I don't like , I've spent many a fine hour on my way to the Netherlands in your fine country. Hope this makes amends, a diplomat or politician I would not make!

        Probably something to do with two days hard physical work on my Vitesse, then on the Garden...still hurts!
        
        Indeed, Jabbeke, not quite so impressive when you drive along it as I expecetd, but still...
        I think my then (Supercharged) Herald hit the magic 100 when I drove along it, but don't tell anyone!
        
        Also, let's not forget Zolder, another great circuit.

    My wife, a Sheffield Wenesday fan, said, what about Gilles de Bilde,the famous(?) Belgian footballer/ Striker (again ?) who when at Wednesday was famed for his ability to fall over in the face of an open goal when the chance presented him and for collecting a large pay packet without shame.
    Obviously all you non footballer types are saying "OO ees theece Geeles de beelder bloke? which effectively puts you in the same boat as all us footballer types too!
    NOW THAT IS BORING BELGIUM BUNKUM ON ALL LEVELS.

          Not only is Dean Martin alive and well and living near Ypres but he's also a stalwart of the 10CR 2003 and 10CR 2005. he has to wear glasses now and that makes him look a bit goggle eyed. Never heard him sing though?
