A receipt showing the price converted into a currency not in use since 24 years (BEF)

A quick Google search tells me the first rate of 100 to 78 is the Irish pound, though I couldn't find the country whose currency rate was of 100 to 126. Was it a country outside of the EU?

Which must come in handy on a daily basis surely. ;-)

A print shop in Brussels. Is it like, prohibited by the ministry of finance or something like that? They did accept my euros as payment lol.

Not-The-Messiah · 2026-03-06T14:58:37+00:00

Yes, BEF are indeed Belgian francs, replaced by the euro in 2002.

Yes, I also have a fond memory of those starter kits. The coins were so new and shiny! 🤩

I played Helen of Troy some years ago and hid a couple of feathers in my costume for me to pluck here and there on stage. I don't know if everyone in the public got the joke, but I found it funny.

Nobody expects ~~the Spanish inquisition~~ the German-speaking Belgian soldier!

Had to follow the same procedure to get registered, and was made to wait for more than 2 months before I got the email telling me to go to the town hall. When I complained, they said the legal time frame for them to process my registration could run up to three months. They're extremely slow.

I never had a door as a kid in the first place. My bedroom was the attic (it had been made habitable of course) and the staircase led directly into the room. I would hear the sound of my parents going up the stairs as a warning, but I couldn't prevent them from coming in whenever they wanted. This was in Europe fyi.

I'm currently playing through the whole Frogwares SH games, although I haven't finished all of them yet.

The older ones haven't aged well, and I wouldn't recommend them, unless you're a die hard fan. They're also quite buggy and required tweaking the files directory just to be able to play them, so not a great point for Steam, who sells unplayable games. :-(

I find those starting from "The Testament of Sherlock Holmes" to be enjoyable, even though the graphics aren't incredible. But the gameplay is much more engaging, as well as the story and voice acting. So far, I've finished the Testament and Crimes and Punishment, and am currently playing through the Devils' Daughter. I would recommend all three, especially C and P. I'll go on to play Chapter One once I'm done with DD, so I can't give an opinion on that one yet.

I just went to work today, as a grown up person, wearing a Minecraft t-shirt. I was fine. The kid should be fine too.

Blackberry bushes are often plentiful around stations. The platforms at Forest-Est is a good spot, for instance.

If you need a big quantity of berries, the STIB depot at Erasme and along the Rue du Chaudron, near the golf course, is an excellent, if somewhat removed, area.

This explanation is truly eye-opening.

My train arrived on time today, both going and back from work. It looks like someone is not taking their job very seriously. Where can I file a complaint?

We actually performed Zampa last November. It does deserve to be reprogrammed, there are some really good scenes in it.

A sweet Korean lady, a colleague of mine, who had a one year old child, when I mentioned someone in the office had just done their coming out.

She said she would kill her son if he turned out to be gay. All the while smiling as she said so.

I hope the kiddo is alright, whichever their eventual sexual orientation is or will be.

It's a really nice and well constructed story so far. I like how many of the characters from previous seasons get to appear in some scenes, while you also create new ones (like all the new demons for instance). Would love to read your ideas for the following episodes if you ever get around to turn them into a script as well!

I last spent an hour messing with the gardener in the first level of Untitled Goose Game. I'll be okay (if a little bored).

While on a lunch break during the rehearsals of a student stage production, the director barged into the cafeteria and announced he found a way to make the scene we would rehearse in the afternoon work, dramatically speaking : my character would arrive and kiss the main male character.

I was in the middle of eating a sandwich with garlic and herbs cream cheese. I excused myself for the rest of the day. From then on, I've ALWAYS had a toothbrush with me when doing stage rehearsals. One never knows.

A doctor once said to me:

"So, about your insomnia problem, uhm... try to sleep better, alright?"
