  1. Our social systems are pretty similar + beer is MUCH cheaper
  2. Hah! 1. http://awesomefacts.quora.com/Belgium-used-to-serve-beer-to-school-kids 2. Quality of Education: A 2007 UNICEF report on child well-being in rich countries ranked Belgium as the best country for children’s education well-being. 3. Belgium has one of the lowest proportion of McDonald’s restaurants per inhabitant in the developed world. Belgium only has 0.062 per 10,000 people, or 7x less than the USA, 4x less than Japan and twice less than France or Germany. I am so proud! 4. Tomorrowland ... 5. This country is known as the “Essence of Europe“. 6. Food is delicious in Belgium – diversity, quality, freshness of ingredients. We have had some of the best food of our entire trip in this tiny country, and we think the cuisine is a hidden gem: Lebanese, Moroccan, Italian, French, Belgian, Turkish, and even a fantastic hamburger at an Irish pub. Really, no complaints at all on the diversity or quality of food here, either in the restaurants or the markets and grocery stores. 7. Girls are .... You know Dion! 8. And to top it off ... http://www.brugesinfo.com/faq-24/85.php
  3. No it doesn't, you fanny ! 1. Head In Ass Syndrome When a person and/or persons are reluctant to make the correct decision although they know it is for their benefit. b. Being able to come to a conclusion and not agreeing with the answer. c. Ignoring common sense. d. The inability to think clearly due to lack of encouragement. 'Maybe if you get your head out of your ass you could actually do the work right. You really need to get that "Head In Ass Syndrome" treated before they fire you. Hi my name is ________, and i suffer from HIAS.' That isn't me, really. I am a Pierce! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pierce This has Stingray written all over it ..... Beware!
  4. Considering the pictures in there I feel compeled to ask, were you the one to write all that? LMAO. Asshole!
  5. And maybe those guys are assholes because the girls they had met before were bitches Science says assholes are everywhere http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Asshole_Personality_Disorder
  6. Id rather put Spitfires and Shermans into action
  7. Nice confirmation bias. Try being belgian and having to watch it all. I am sorry, but the knife cuts both ways. There is NO nuance. Also, check the history of the Hazard thread - people saying he is shit, not worth the money, overrated, no creativity, .... , Courtois thread ( idem as Hazard really sometimes but less), KDB (will never for chelsea, has failed after 150 minutes!, is utter dog shite, and don't forget the Lukaku is shit thread( no chelsea material, no link up, just shit, will never do ...) . Besides, a lot of the argumentation outside the non KDB thread is non belgian. Dude. Cause and effect. Chicken or the egg. Think what is first. See through the pages in here. See how it started against Hazard. I agree the counter strike from Belgium is .... Ugh. But the pre-emptive one was a nuclear attack as well. Hell, what players had the same criticism while pkaying good as Hazard, Courtois, now Lukaku ? Oscar last year? Bertrand? Only one! Torres, and that says enough, really. Chicken or the egg ....
  8. Neither then with Neymar, lol. Point proven: he said : if Neymar is there, why not Hazard. He didn't say: Hazard needs to be up there. Yeah.
  9. So, now I will haunt you NISH :-) What will you do? Ps! Let's pm!
  10. Good alternative! Though life expectancy is lower, chicks are waaaayyy hotter!
  11. I disagree - somewhat :-) You do not have everything under control in that ..... I learned throughout the years that Maier had a great formula, which is an intuitive way of telling something we tend to forget in life. Guys: in everything you do, it mostly centers around how effective, you are. Not just good. We know that from football, but it counts anywhere, really: you need effectiveness to win what you want to win :-) The formula - which is bullshit , really, because people just like formula's is: E= Q X A The Effectiveness of what you do in life = the Quality of what you do X how much people Accept it. No matter how good you are, if people don't see it or accept it or you have no chance of displaying that talent. I am affraid all that effectiveness is just .. gone. So .... How to make people more effective, thats more the question than just making them good. Ps: sorry ..... Reading some books too much sometimes :-)
  12. I agree, hence my like for you. But somehow i keep feeling that it is doing disservice to a good trooper a bit. Oscar has done us well, but Mata has done us well longer, really well. Does that guarantee him (or Oscar for that matter) a future, no... But it does earn him respect (which I think the OP/TOPTB has a lot of) and a viable chance to be in a next generation Chelsea team. The real question imo is how we can do this in a good way and what he is willing to do for it. That will be the matter ethics, vision, identity ... throughout the entire setup - management to players. The true Mourinho challenge. This issue was raised last year and the year before. IMO, is the way we treat our player/subs/loanees/youngsters , while performing. All that will pay huge tribute to what we will become as a club in the future. But I think we can do it, and Mata could be a key figure in that, really.
  13. Exactly. I have one addition I think Mou has as important as well. People who need to perform need a goal they have under their control to be considered motivational and fair. So mediocre could cut it for Mou if you are running your ass off, but lacklustre will never do it. I think this is something we can not dismiss lightly :-) Work hard and ultimately you will play games.
  14. Considering the performances ..... I am sure it will be tactical considerations and training effort that decides for Mou. Another thriller one hour before match to see that line-up really. The constant this season, it seems :-)
  15. Ps: Sorry, pressed post by accident, edited now to make my argument :-)
  16. The calculus isn't that simple. Some of them have played tuesday, some had form recently, others are picking up form . There is training and the fact we had a game on tuesday... So Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle is a good bet.
  17. That seems to me more of a systemic thing, really.
  18. True .... patience is crucial. This isn't a sprint but a marathon, one I hope we win with our entire (beautiful) squad.
  19. The bipolar, extremist, unnuanced thinking is really off the chart in this thread. I am unfollowing and i am belgian. Go figure.
  20. Awesome news ... Now for the permit!
