      Belgium is 50 years in the past. Won’t work that well.

      Also, these days that is a compliment.

        Are you simply dying to be offended on someone else’s behalf darling? Sweety?

        Pour yourself a large G&T, poppet, there’s a dear

          I’ll never turn down G&T, but more importantly, what did Belgium ever do to you? I’m just curious…

          If you’ve got a spinning wheel of ‘who’s gonna get it today’ and Belgium came up, that’s fine, too

            It’s an intercultural joke from where I’m from.

            I’m sorry that you’re so bo-o-o-ring that you can neither appreciate nor spontaneously produce humour, and that you have to resort to pretending to be morally superior to try to get attention for yourself by randomly calling people racists like some sort of yank

              Making jokes on Brussels is popular with anti-EU factions, just FYI. Not exclusively so, of course, but its their main goto.

              Like seeing someone wearing an England flag as a cape, football game or no game, its just best to keep clear of that person

              No, not at all - I think it’s hilarious! You’ve completely misread me

              I was just curious as to why them (obviously we’ve got to pick on someone)
