Gonna be in Brussels for some EU stuff in April

[MOBIUS]

Should be around for the evening of the 12th of April, possibly the 13th as well.

Anyone fancy a Euro poly meet? Or at least point me in the right direction of some decent eating, drinking and entertainment establishments...

I've been before, so kinda know my way around.

There is a very nice tapas bar near La Bourse. Not the one on the Av Anspach but in one of the small streets nearby. Would need to look up the name of the place though. Le Bison is a nice place to get a drink also very close.

[MOBIUS]

Anywhere cool to stay too? Somewhere I can get away with on expenses...

[dannubis]

Since I avoid the place like the plague I couldn't tell you.

[MOBIUS]

Well, my favourite Belgian city is Ghent, but beggars can't be choosers.

[Kitschum]

They're still doing that EU thing?

Ghent is great.

Dutch Belgium >>>> French Belgium

It is only 40 mins by train from Ghent...

[Provost Harrison]

I know the motorways of Belgium very well

I live in downtown Brussels. What exactly are you looking for?
If you're heading to the city centre then the Sainte Catherine area is the place to be imo:

If you're looking for a real Belgian café (we call it 'brown' pubs) near the Bourse, check out 'Le Coq', the 'Archipel' (near the delhaize and GB supermarkets), the 'Merlo', 'Au Laboureur', the 'Monk', 'Kafka' etc. Maybe you'll fancy the Bizon, but it's more of a late night bar for me.

You can contact me if you want, I can show you around. On the condition that you're not one of those rowdy bald-headed UK hooligans drinking themselves K.O. before 12 o'clock

What will you be doing in Brussels with regards to EU stuff btw?

as he's british, he will be investigating ways to destroy it in from the inside.

That's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. I don't think I made it as far as the Sainte Catherine area from looking at the map either.

I'm one of the well behaved ones.

Working on an EU funded project called INTERREG IVC, which is financed by the European Regional Development Fund so that various regions of Europe can share best practice.

Ah. Wasting our tax money on bull****.

[C0ckney]
