I couldn't sleep for more than 15 minutes without waking for a quick fiddle and stroke of the screen, and when it vibrated to give me a short message I just couldn't resist" gushed Daphne.</p> <p>Daphne's estranged husband Andy remained sanguine "After the first few nights of her romance I decided to sleep in the spare room, after all the constant fiddling and stroking meant that I couldn't sleep, and with that bloody phone getting all her attention it was either me or it. The only time I got a look-in was when the battery died, which to be fair was about every 45 minutes, but I know where her true affections lie."</p> <p>An ebulient Daphne is looking forward to the big day "Siri is organising everything including the quickie divorce from Andy, whoever he is. The guests who live miles away are joining via Facetime. Nothing could go wrong and we'll have a wonderful life together forever. What do you mean, there's an iPhone 5 due out in the summer?" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41193#post-117473 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:10:05 +0000 The All New Jeni B 117473@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I bet that's why Mrs Waylandy loves him... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41193#post-117471 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:08:45 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 117471@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ludicity - energy saving lightsabers.</p> <p>Wayland probably came second again. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41193#post-117449 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:35:32 +0000 The All New Jeni B 117449@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Not that I'm in any way in the running, especially as there STILL isn't an incessant gob-shite category, but when will this be announced?</p> <p>Or are you waiting until tomorrow for tax purposes? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100&page=2#post-114989 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:31:41 +0000 Ironduke 114989@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>"Spent most of the day looking for discrete places to throw up."</p> <p>Yup, thats how I remember Belgium! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100&page=2#post-114958 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:54:12 +0000 The All New Jeni B 114958@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thank you beau.<br /> dvo, just a general alcohol induced amnesia.<br /> Shitsu, spot on, almost like a film-set. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100&page=2#post-114950 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:31:24 +0000 beau-jolly 114950@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Scroat.

Was thoroughly beneficial to my studies and I'll be recommending it to the year below me.<br /> Have been offered the opportunity to attend as one of the "crew" of students employed to help, advise and assist.<br /> Bruges seemed very, very, pretty. When I say 'seemed', I mean I couldn't see through the hangover I had acquired by not getting back from the previous night until an hour and a half before we had to leave.<br /> Drinking until 6am is all fine and well when you're 20, but at 40 it killed me.

I say sell but I really mean stock. Took me ages to shift the lambic ones. They smell like vinegar and taste like lemon juice. Bit of an aquired taste but not one I can be arsed to acquire. Now I just do real ales from various local micro-breweries. Fewer food miles and a wider audience. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114765 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:16:12 +0000 Al OPecia 114765@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Whilst conducting Sunday Mass during Lent. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114762 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:10:30 +0000 Son of Barnabas 114762@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>And then the canary.... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114753 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:36:59 +0000 Al OPecia 114753@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>He tried it on Mary.. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114744 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 07:18:37 +0000 Username 114744@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>There was a young fellow from Ghent,<br /> Whose appendage was seemingly bent... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114728 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 00:09:38 +0000 Ironduke 114728@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A bar in Brussels off the main square served snacks of either chunks of cheese with celery salt, or slices of hard sausage. Wonderful. Also, little turkist enclave kebab shops just outside, roasted chicken, garlic mayonnaise and pickled vegetables and chilli in a wrap. Ate it, walked straight back in for another. Superb. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114706 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:34:37 +0000 John Ffitch-Rucker 114706@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>There was a young fellow from Ghent... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114685 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:51:41 +0000 button 114685@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I went to a bar in Antwerp that claimed to have the largest selection of Belgium beers. The beer 'menu' was like a laminated yellow pages and the cellar (which you could view) seemed to have as much space dedicated to glasses as it did to beer. As Midfield Diamond says, you must have the right glass for the beer. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114652 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:18:36 +0000 Midfield Diamond 114652@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Never went to Bruges but enjoyed a good night out in Ghent which I was told is much better than Bruges cos it's less French (yes, our host was Flemish). </p> <p>There was a pub where you had to hand your right shoe over the bar to get a beer. The shoe would then be thrown into a basket which was suspended from the ceiling. The reason? Well the Belgians are very particular about drinking beer from the proper glasses - it would be sacrilege to drink Leffe from a Hoegaarden glass for example - so to discourage customers from nicking the branded glasses, you only get your shoe back when you take your empty glass back to the bar. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114607 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:34:04 +0000 The All New Jeni B 114607@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Had Duvel, Stella, Framboise, Keirk, and something else that had too bizarre a combination of letters to be pronouncable.</p> <p>Currently finished writing our proposal on employment, and it appears that I'm also to be providing a translation service for French to English and back again, while proof reading and re-typing the rest of the groups Directive.</p> <p>Ever had the feeling that while you do all the work, someone else is taking all the glory? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114569 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:48:46 +0000 waylandsmithy 114569@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Scroat, I think 'lambic' beers are brewed via the 'wild yeast' method. </p> <p>Bruges is splendid, although it does have two rancid canals running through it that make it smell like a rotting horse. Good natural source of yeast, though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114568 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:25:44 +0000 Scroat 114568@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mr Diamond has a good point. Try some Chimay or Duvel. Loads of others, including lager that looks like Guinness. Some use wild yeasts.

Mannequin Pis. Really?! Is it culturally acceptable to make tourist tat corkscrews of a naked infant?<br /> Leuven smells, really, really, really badly. Like they just shit in the street.<br /> Tomorrow, we're ice-skating, then the formal night.<br /> And Friday we're in Bruges. I'll keep you posted. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=40100#post-114558 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:19:54 +0000 Runestone Cowboy 114558@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>We have a local pub with 70 different Belgian beers in the cellar. It's the perfect alternative to actually going to Belgium. </p>
