The Witloof: April 2007
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 19. Belgian punk rockers T.C.Matic once sang 'Oh-la-la-la'. It is a song title that is conspicuously absent from this, frankly mental, website. For a Brussels hotel. For those of you who have stumbled upon this site while googling Brussels' hotels, then today would appear to be your lucky day. It appears that, particularly if you resemble Steve Martin, you'll be met at reception by a sexy woman quoting song titles and then you'll partake in some ooh-la-la in a fancy white room. That somet...

Tuesday, October 16. If you simply cannot wait for this years Brussels christmas market then why not just "dump". Into the atmosphere of the 2006 edition. Sunday, October 14. At last someone has raised the most pertinent question about the potential break-up of Belgium: Who would get all the Witloof. Sunday, October 7. Belgian politicians head for the negotiating table. This was sent to me in an entirely different context but what the hell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The berlaymonster of brussels.

The Witloof: October 2006
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 7. Tintin goes to the polls. This Sunday, 8 October, Belgium goes to the polls for its local elections. I will be voting to. Non-Belgian EU citizens have enjoyed this right for quite a while now. Those from outside the EU are eligible to vote for the first time in local elections, however. So are you going to vote? And if not why not? There is no excuse for failing to exercise your democratic right. Or is there? Scenario 1 - no enrol obligation to vote. Is that without having to enrol i...

Sunday, November 11. Which Flamand (singular you see) they want out remains a mystery. This comment has been removed by the author. If the Walloons start messing up their grammar, the French will never agree to an amicable annexation. I for one, never, mess up my grammar when writing in my native tongue. Ahem.

The Witloof: September 2006
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 26. Call it vegetable solidarity if you like, but the Witloof would like to mark the passing of Brussels' foremost printed satirical publication, the Sprout. For 36 issues, stretching over three years, the Sprout has provided the European Union with that which any healthy democracy requires, a good solid satirical spanking. Monday, September 25. Links to Belgium. Belgium to links. Tuesday, September 19. Language Troubles #2 : Jean-Marie Pfaff Style. For football supporters the world ro...

The Witloof: August 2007
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13. Where’s the best place to hide your money? Under a Frenchman’s soap. Just one of the jokes that the Belgians like to tell about their southern neighbours. Generally, however, it is the Belgians who are the butt of most of the ribbing. What is the longest road in Belgium? Why wasn’t Jesus born in Belgium? Because they couldn’t find three wise men there. Perhaps it is just me but I think that this is the funniest thing, ever. Friday, August 3. Wednesday, August 1. Little brother in Dublin.

The Witloof: May 2007
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 4. May is a tremendous month to be gainfully employed in Belgium. It is a bank holiday fest. It doesn't sound that exciting but I guess I'll have to take Schuman Day off too. seeing as it is a Wednesday, I'll probably make a bridge or two too. When in Brussels.to bastardise the phrase. Anyway, May the 4th be with you! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For those who think that Belgium's national vegetable is the sprout. For those who think that Belgium's national vegetable is the sprout.

The Witloof: December 2006
http://thewitloof.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 16. War, of words (phew), between Belgium and Germany. With Franco Belgian relations still at a bit of a low ebb following the Michelin saga. Now relations with even larger, scarier, eastern neighbour, Germany have taken a bit of a tumble. Sacrificing the Brussels location simply because it is not in Germany. Sunday, December 3. In search of a restaurant to satisfy his sophisticated palate the Witloof discovers that Revenge is a Dish Best Served Froid. In a country short on things to b...
