Hey!

There are a lot of Belgian guys here so I decided to ask for some help.

I'll go to Belgium on Friday to watch the Formula 1 race. We'll be driving all day long on Friday and Monday, watch the race on Sunday but Saturday is free. What are the things I shouldn't miss? Sightseeing, restaurants, bars, anything.. What beers or food should I try for sure?

I'll be staying in Spa and I don't want to drive too much.. I'm thinking about visiting Liege. Or should I go to Brussels? It's not that far either.

Go to Brussels, visit the centre. Its beautiful (Liege is industrial) Eat mussels with fries and drink:

1. A Jupiler or 2 to start with

2. A Leffe Blond or an abbye beer

3. A Duvel or two

4. 2 Karmeliet blond

5. If still standing - a Kwak (in the original glass, its funky)

5. Do NOT drive afterwards yourself - otherwise, go visit Brussels and drink the beers in Spa.

In Spa on the day of the race, drink Chimay and Ciney from the tap.

If you are obstinated somehow, its all good after those two days.

First of all, thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it

1. Sure thing, I like Jupiler a lot.

2. We have Leffe in Hungary, I'm absolutely into it.

3,4,5: I don't know them but I'll give a try.

6. Of course I won't

When in doubt: choose Karmeliet! When you feel the need to get really drunk: choose Duvel

My body went into a full fit when I read the news that Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro are making the new Silent Hill video game.

My mind can not comprehend this, I haven't been this excited for a game in years.

Hey guys, I need a song for my graduation party. I'm thinking about some AC/DC... maybe Highway to Hell or You Shook Me All Night Long, any suggestions?

On a serious note, Highway to Hell. When's your party?

Ever wondered why you're single?

I imagine you to be like Tamwar out of Eastenders. I know you won't know who he is, have a little Google xoxo

Shutup

I'm only single because I can't get involved in a relationship for a number of reasons right at the minute. This wasn't the case a couple of years ago but I'm really not in the right mental state. This is a very, very unstable period in my life - I'm changing every day and still trying to find out who I am. I also have no job and no money - just going out with friends is a scrap for me. A girl on top of that? I'd be broker than Leeds United. I've got a load of worries at the moment, earth shaking shit like planning for my future and trying to set some shit up, things that will take up 100% of my attention. The last thing I need is a girl to compound those because somebody was talking to somebody on Tinder or some other small time bullshit. Recently I was intimately involved in another relationship because I was very, very close friends with both the boy and the girl - it ended utterly acrimoniously, and because I was so closely linked, I had to pick up the pieces, which has completely put me off for a while. Do you know how fucking difficult it is to spend half the time playing the divorced child and the other half a marriage counselor? I don't want that shit right now. The single life is one that suits me.

There was a girl a few months back where money wouldn't have been a problem (and this was before I became amongst other things a functioning marijuana addict, a manic depressive, and had all these personal issues to sort out), but that was never going to work because I wasn't in the country throughout the summer and some other guy got in before me. And in retrospect I was a lot stupider and more immature last year - now with the benefit of hindsight I realised it would have been a horrendous relationship. We come from entirely different worlds. Her and her friends are the most boring people I've ever met. And I would have felt like I had to put a power limiter on my brain whenever I was spending time with her. I need somebody who's got roughly equal intelligence to me, not some booksmart nerd who'd whip anybody's arse on a test but when it came to actually thinking proved to be as dull as a statue.

What do you think's happened to that girl he was infatuated with but no longer talks about?

I don't know, I haven't seen her again since first year uni. I didn't murder her but somebody in her arch-conservative Somali family probably honour killed her and her 7 ft boyfriend by now or some such. Dodged a bullet there
