RE: Hey A330crazy……….

Frank – this loser obviously knows NOTHING about aviation. Anyone who does would know the valuable contributions made by women. In the second world war many women flew in the ATA (the Air Transport Auxiliary for sexist thickos out there) delivering aircraft from the factories to the front line airbases. The first pilot to circumnaviate the globe single handedly was female.
Believe me, there’s nothing I enjoy doing more than tearing metaphorical strips off sexist losers like this one, he neither frightens nor impresses me.

RE: And if you had to move?

No competion
B E L G I U M !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beer there is up to 12%, twice as strong as the beer in the last posting. The food is better there than in France. The people are friendly. The airlines are of course incomparable.

RE: Greetings from Belgium

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-09-02 AT 01:19 PM (GMT)]History is tough Geforce, I know what you mean, I dropped it at the first possible opportunity to concentrate on science and languages (well, Spanish anyway). No, Belgium isn’t the only country which serves beer to students (probably the only country which serves PROPER beer though :-)!) The “university” I was at had the bar which served “beer” (though the stuff we get here is like brown water compared to the beauties you Belgians can get hold of!!) You are lucky to be in a place with so many pubs!!
I have finally compiled my Christmas beer order, we are requesting around 30 bottles of various Belgian types – Tongerlo, Ename, Corsendonk, Sloeber, Rochefort 6, 8, 10, Chimay Red, the list goes on!! I will be submitting it on Wednesday and waiting for the woman in the shop to retire to the madhouse!!!
By the way, LOVE the logo at the bottom of your posting. Some of the SN Brussels planes still have full Sabena livery, at least they did when I was last in Brussels on 12th September.
(When I read your message there was a Sabena logo on the bottom of your posting but it had gone when I posted this).

RE: Greetings from Belgium

More on the beer. The woman at our local beer shop has a notice in her window offering to order unusual beers for Christmas. The poor thing doesn’t know what she’s letting herself in for putting up a sign like that!!!! I could give her a few – Rochefort 6, 8 and 10, Hapkin, Kasteel Blond, Tongerlo, Ename Dubbel and Tripel, Corsendonk, Delerium Nocturnum (the dark Delerium), Maes, Jupiler, Sloeber, I could go on and on.
Geforce – you are still making me jealous about Leuven, rather be there than in bloody Scarborough believe me.[http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/sabenabelgianairlines]

RE: Greetings from Belgium

I can’t really comment on Leuven, I’ve only been through on the train (a train from Brugge to Verviers when I was going to Spa). If it is all Interbrew in the pubs then I can just imagine it to be all Stella, Leffe and Hoegaarden, not to mention Belle Vue Kriek, first time I was in Brussels nearly every pub I went in just served Interbrew stuff and a beer festival I went to on the Grand Place in Brussels last year was all Interbrew, so I had a Jupiler, but I do like Maes (can’t get it in England). Geforce – Corsendonk is indeed a great beer, as is De Koninck and Westmalle. Hapkin is good if you can track it down. I still like the Oudenaarde beers though. Mechelen may not be as good as Brugge, but it will be hell of alot better than Paris!!!!

RE: best airline company to go to los angeles

Do your self a big favour and avoid Air New Zealand’s LHR-LAX flight like the plague. They are really BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Do you collect anything other than aircraft models?

I collect aircraft postcards (any except WW1), sometimes stamps and pictures of Belgian airlines. Also I collect beer bottle tops (only the ones with a design on).
