=>And what makes the Dutch so exciting? <=

Im not saying that the belgians are totally boring,but your just "saai".

Has anyone seen "Meet the neighbours" with (that prick) Jeremy Clarkson?That gave (although he gave a weird explanation) a "good" image how boring you are.*

*He also said that the only thing that we do is smoke weed and have sex!
So its not totally relaiable.

( Languages , only a matter of practise )

«And what makes the Dutch so exciting?»
«Im not saying that the belgians are totally boring,but you are just "saai". = boring» Sander

That's not the answer to the question. You are repeating yourself saying the Belgians are boring.
The question was :"what makes the Dutch so exciting"?
Is the answer " We are so exciting , because the Belgiums are so boring?
Is that it or do you have another ' exciting' explanation?

I agree with "!". The parties in Belgium are out of this world. You can call us a lot of things (cocky, strange, over-indulgent) but you cannot call us boring.

To all,

So you haven't seen " meet the neighbours" ?

To !,

Du solst einmal nach einen Belgischer "Bierfest" kommen,dass werderst deinen gedachten über uns bringen...

I think you forgot on....lol.
Ive never heard about a beerparty before,is it just what I think it is (a lot of belgians getting drunk in a barn) or is it more?

To "Jo",

You never seem to anser my questions on other forum topics,jet in my goodness Ill anser yours;

Ofcourse having a boring neighbour makes you look exciting,but the dutch (can have, if they want to) a more divers life.
Im talking about:
-(Pop)concerts.
-Watersports.
-Go to a soccerteam that doesnt always lose,or is on the brink of Bankruptie.
-Go on a distant vacation (why do people always meet dutch people in the far corners of the world,and not belgians)
-Go biking (Ive never seen a "fietspad" in belgium)
-Regular sports,we have practically ever sport you can practise,or be a supporter from.
-and many more...

But still I think its in the peoples nature,Id say that the dutch are more adventurouss than the belgians.

~Got yours answers?~

<<Well Belgium could be described as the ultimate blend of :
Chocolate - French(ed) Fries - Beer - Pastry>>

Great, but does that mean obesity and other health problems for the Belgians? Maybe gyms do good business over there...workouts essential with all those goodies around.

Damian,
Well , Belgium has an average-to- low percentage of obesity ...

To Sander,
You shouldn't get the wrong idea with the term ' beerbomb ' ; It just means prices are very low !
Sander   Sunday, March 20, 2005, 11:48 GMT
Ah,but why did you use the word "fuif" then?
Lelé   Sunday, March 20, 2005, 16:32 GMT
The weird thing about Belgians is Brussels-inhabitants only considering themselves Belgians. Southern Belgians consider themselves Waloon and Northern Belgians consider themselves Flemish.

Belgians cannot even sing their own national anthem.

Belgians may split into three regions:
1. Flandres; 2. Waloon country; 3. Brussels (which would be city-state under EU)

Lelé,

What does this add to the topic discussion?
!   Sunday, March 20, 2005, 17:16 GMT
We had that discussion several times

Sander ,
It is a "fuif" (you know , with music and the works )
Indeed , the price beer is very low , so we often get drunk ! :p LOL

I prefer VINE.
Beer is lowclass beverage.
Sander   Sunday, March 20, 2005, 18:02 GMT
Poshic,

You don't know what your missing!
As for my modest (lol)oppinion,wine tastes like vinegar with salt.
