It appears Von has "past the crystal and spread the tarot" again:

Once again I wonder if the world is getting more dangerous or do we just
have far better coverage.

Maybe it's a bit of both?

BRUSSELS 05/11 (BELGA) - As stated by the police this Saturday, five policemen from the Brussels-North district, were injured last Saturday during a fight in Schaarbeek (IZ-note: Schaarbeek is to Brussels what Enfield is to London). One of the policemen could not go to work for two days.

Last Saturday morning a police patrouille spotted a man peeing against a parked vehicle. The policemen asked the man to clean the car, and a fight ensued between the man and the police.

A couple of youths from a nearby pub came outside and provoked the police officers, threatening to start riots like the ones in Paris if the policemen wouldn't leave immediately. Two people, including the one that initially peed against the car, were arrested.

The original Dutch transcript:

BRUSSEL 05/11 (BELGA) = Vijf politieagenten van de zone Brussel-Noord zijn zaterdagochtend gewond geraakt bij een vechtpartij in Schaarbeek. Dat werd zaterdag vernomen bij de politie. Een van de agenten zou twee dagen arbeidsongeschikt zijn. Zaterdagochtend merkte een politiepatrouille in Schaarbeek een individu op die tegen een wagen aan het plassen was. De politieagenten vroegen de man de wagen proper te maken. Daarop ontstond een meningsverschil.

Enkele jongeren kwamen uit een nabijgelegen café en provoceerden de agenten. Ze zouden ermee gedreigd hebben om rellen te starten zoals in Frankrijk als de politie niet zou vertrekken. Twee personen, onder wie de man die tegen het voertuig heeft geplast, werden opgepakt en zijn ter beschikking gesteld van het Brusselse parket.

...so that anyone can correct me if I translated something wrong ;)

Don't know, as stated on many news broadcasts, the French situation is far worse than here, segregation, no work, not being involved in politics nor society... Rather think they were bluffing...

Don't feel entirely comfortable about it still, for about the first time ever :urff:

PS Correct you? :eek: Your English is my aim :notworthy:

Yep, the fact that Izzy knows where Enfield is in relation to London suggests a higher knowledge. :wink:

Or the intimate 'knowledge' of a woman. *cough* :innocent:

:lol:

I could have said that Schaarbeek was a municipality of Brussels, but I don't want it said of me that I'm a user of big words...

So I googled a London Town Map, looked at some of the fluffy stuff around London, and picked Enfield because they are the only insane people to produce a diesel-powered motorcycle.

(more like a Dave Gorman kinda approach :wink: )

And I never had, nor ever will have, a London lass on my lap! They're scary :eek:

Too true my friend but that's a swapping of stories for another time. Stories for boys. 8)

Sorry to hear your musical career has gone down hill since you acknowledged that I will be the mother of your children in open forum. :roll:

The plus side is that at 'Heaven' on a Sunday night at Charing Cross, you're the third most requested act after Kylie and Erasure amongst the ... umm ... Village People. :wink:

Leeds can be simple. Leeds can be scary. I think it all depends on your 'intake'. :)

*Flashback* You said a garbled message on my phone when I'd lost it for 60mins before I found it in Christian's car?

"Can't find the Hotel Lindenboon? Where is it?"
(another voice - my mate Paul? :wink: - "you're standing outside it ...")

If it's in Antwerp (and that's where I hope it'll be, as many Continentals are based around here ;D ) I'll be helping you out in every way possible... Perhaps I'll just be organising (or trying to :wink: ) it then :D

Good to hear there's at least one not continental coming over too already :notworthy:
