Title: Why so many Dutch and no Belgians?
Post by: Nicky007 on Mon, 2007-06-04, 23:20:59
Does anybody have any idea, why there are so many Dutch here in the Room (almost half of the active population), and no Belgians? I haven't seen any yet, in any case. Are the Belgians too busy drinking beer?

I just think the guys from Arena have a nicer history with the dutch :)

Now, what does that mean, my dear applemaster? You're cryptic again. Did Arena prefer Dutch beer to Belgian? Or Dutch umlauts?

Well, they found a pretty good support for their music when they had just began 10 years ago. And isn't the official fanclub originally a dutch one?

The only Belgian I know of is Hercule Poirot, and everybody thought he was French. On top of it all, he didn't actually exist... ::)

That was very funny, Deenfan  :)   I guess, seen from the perspective of the North Pole, everything that speaks French is French  ;D

But seriously, guys, you've gotta come up with a better explanation. Occasionally a Belgian turns up and peeps (not creeps, Wagner), only to vanish as fast as s/he came. And this place is teeming with Dutchies (a hidden compliment to you marsh monsters). Is there too much good beer in Belgium, or is there really a major difference between Dutchies and Belgians? What sort of music do Belgians actually listen to? Do they prefer Arena in the accordian + French singing version (looking for some income here)?

I just think that dutchies are more "internet-people" that belgians :)

Yep. That, and the Belgians are probably scared of Nicky...  ;D
