Belgium Derail from the drum-skin thread

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

When the seller was given it in 1989, they probably did remember that the signature were Andrew's and Marx', but did not remember the exact date (1989 not being a good time for looking at the Sisters Gigography, since it prolly did not exist ;) ).

So they said 'uhhh, it was five years ago, somewhere October/November... errrr... just put something on there. He won't remember all the dates anyway. He ain't THAT big a fan'.

Et voilà...

We all bow to the Belgians logic. :notworthy:

Personally I'd probably prefer amphetamine logic. Or rather just amphetamine. Can you smoke, snort or inject logic? I think not. :wink:

Moving swiftly on ...

So as not to offend our Belgian cousins I did go to www.dictionary.com just to be sure about the spelling as I always get the 'i' in the wrong place. :roll: :urff:

It presented me with this 'interesting' fact about Belgium:

Merchant marine:
Total: 23 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 42,055 GRT/56,842 DWT
ships by type: bulk 1, cargo 9, chemical tanker 6, liquefied gas 2,
oil tanker 5.

Monty Python got it right first time. :innocent:

All the Belgians I know are really fab. Honestly. And ... umm ... really interest ... inters ... inte ... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe.

Mmmm ...

it has been a while since I last posted something here ...

But when the Belgians are under attack, I just have to say ...

WE GOT LOTS OF BEER AND WE KNOW HOW TO DRINK THEM !!! 8)

As for that little guy in Brussels, emptying his blatter 24/7 ...
It's just to remind tourists to NOT EVER drink Dutch beer :twisted:

And that, my friends, is the most valuable piece of advise you'll ever get :P
