Aye - I've always used the 'British' English instead of the American'un on the internet… Doesn't make a difference either way - not my first language so who gives a toss!.. Had many people assuming I was British though... A British hool, for that matter... Once they know my name though, they just think I'm a Russian boxer who's let himself go... Guessing Belgium's too small for them Yanks to find on a map with their fat sausage shaped fingers...

@Geo:
anyway, my accent isn't that strong . . . chances are you'd understand the odd word . . . well at least the expletives
When Ayumi was prepping to come over here with Haraki to meet with Will at the IH/Aero party in July, she started getting really worried that she would not be able to understand Wills accent and asked my advice.
I told her that as long as she assumed every other word was fuck, she'd have no problem…........

Belgium's one of those over by Poland, right?
We Yanks just usually wave our fat sausage shaped fingers in the general direction of Europe and say, "It's over there, somewhere." We can't be bothered to locate some place we're never going to go. Come to think of it, we usually can't be bothered to locate the places we actually go to, either…
You're all a bunch of soccer hooligans with weird accents and strange shaped electrical outlets anyway.

you tell him Chris . . . he's now only my 11th favourite Belgian (behind Eddy Merckx, Adolphe Sax,
Georges Remi, Audrey Hepburn, Plastic Bertrand, Peter Paul Rubens, Rene Magritte, George Lemaitre, Albert Claude and Leo Hendrik Baekeland) . . . I wanted to put him 20th place but I couldn't find anyone else to put him behind . . . -
What about Liz Claiborne, Ann Demuelemeester, Kim Clijsters, Jacky Ickx, Jean Claude Van Damme, Pieter Bruegel, Gerardus Mercator, Abraham Ortelius, Andreas Vesalius and Willy Claes? That's another 10 Belgians to add to your list.
Seul does rank above Jacques Rogge, though.
And now I think we've named everyone in the entire country, both living and dead.
