Belgium is divided into a part that speaks Dutch (in the form of the dialect Flemish) and a part that speaks French (and a very small part that speaks German).

... And I think most (all?) Apolyton Belgians are from the Dutch speaking part.Comment

Sorry I haven't seen thread earlier. You should have posted this at Apolyton community.
For personal reasons I've chosen to completely ignore all discussions on Apolyton OT. (The only reason I'm here posting is because Fantagraphics, the comics publisher, is in serious trouble.)
The level of personal self indulgence, perceived self importance, flippancy, arrogance and ignorance (either blatantly feigned or shockingly real) is now starting to reach Newsmax levels. Maybe it would be palpable if some wit was used but even that is in short supply these days.
As for a Dutch Poly meet, could be. I'm not sure at the moment though. I'm also planning another FUADEC in London this time. Which will sap even more time then last year.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

... And I think most (all?) Apolyton Belgians are from the Dutch speaking part.
I considered PMing all prominent Dutch Apolytoners and pointing them here, so people like CapTVK (and there's a lot of those) will see this thread as well. But doing so will probably take some time and I'm rather busy with uni at the moment. Hopefully I'll have time for this next week... (unless someone beats me to it, of course
)

Whoa, you go on vacation for just one week and people come up with this
I'd like to meet you all, but not when it's related to some event, be it a football tournament, the HCC thing or whatever.
Mercator, I'm going to Lowlands too, I'll buy you beer
Seriously, let's pick a day in July or August and a bar in Amsterdam and just do it. With our Belgian friends (not the Vlamms Blok guy though, I want to have fun, not picking a fight).Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again...Comment

Sounds good to me too.Comment

I haven't decided yet, but I'll keep that in mind.

Maybe, but I stepped into this Antwerp cafe once... And I read his posts on foreigners (read non-white people living in Flanders.) I'm just hoping the Ijzer bedevaart is during the same weekend as Lowlands, it'll save me some trouble

I'm up for it, but I don't do football

Quite tempting to turn up just so they all have to speak in English
Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

PH, I have a couch with your name on it
And IW, don't worry, we all speak English with an endearing accent... Though we probably will be speaking Dutch just to piss you off

As the crow flies, Amsterdam isn't much further than London for me...and I live in a major ferry terminal that serves Rotterdam (well not in the ferry terminal itself - you know what I mean)
