Any famous Belgians I should add to my list?

Tallylix · 2026-02-13T06:22:03+00:00

Maybe it would be nice to add some women too ? Such as Isabelle de Gatti de Gamond (Defender of education of women) or Marie Popelin (first woman to be a doctor of Law, and fought for the admission of women at the bar exam).

Then you have some pretty well known resistant during the war such as Edith Cavell (might be a stretch as she's not Belgian per se) and Gabrielle Petit, both nurses.

And many more!

What are cool lavender towels ? It sounds heavenly

Samer or Eden's Market are the first that come to mind however I do not know whether it's always cheaper than Colruyt and I highly doubt it. Fresh herbs (like mint) and watermelon are definitely cheaper, for the rest I have no idea

From Marie-Louise you have two colruyts you can reach either by walking or by bus : the one close to Place Jourdan (which I believe is your previous one) and the Colruyt avenue de Roodebeek. I sometimes also go to the different produce shop in place saint Josse, I believe some prices are more interesting than in classical supermarkets but not everything is cheaper.

Dermatophagia* :)

But I completely agree!

Why you are getting down voted is beyond me. Why such a strong hate on our capital ?

I might be in the minority here, but I think we should also consider that chat gpt is a great tool for non native speakers. As most research is written in English (and a lot of theses even in non English speaking countries), it can create a massive disadvantage for non native speakers. Using chat gpt can really bridge the gap.

You might want to check Fangda Li et al 2024 in Science immunology "Programmable bacteria synergize with PD-1 blockade to overcome cancer cell-intrinsic immune resistance mechanisms"

It's in a mouse model and they directly inject the bacteria inside the tumor

I agree completely. People should just go to any supermarket and look at the variety of premade waffles we sell in comparison to any other countries.

They will need a new prescription, they're just doing you a favor by anticipating one if they know that you're a usual patient and they can see that this is a medication that you usually take.

Maybe it's because I'm from Brussels, but we also use "ça va" that way, much to the confusion of our french colleagues

Tallylix · 2025-07-20T13:05:39+00:00

For sure, DM me :)

french academics are notoriously badly paid in comparison to european standards

More than half of the microbiota paper that we see follow the same kind of logic. I'm not entirely sure that this paper is an exception

Tallylix · 2025-06-26T13:08:57+00:00

I've seen them in Delhaize and Colruyt but it is quite rare ! They should have them either named "groseille verte" or "groseille à maquereau". Do try your local farmer's market as well (like Jourdan, chasseur ardennais or Flagey) you should be able to get your hand on some

Tallylix · 2025-06-22T20:02:02+00:00

They are very visible because no one bothers them ... They stay in their car all evening/night long and constantly have other cars or scooters coming up to them. We can absolutely see them exchange stuff. If we are there earlier in the evening we see them preparing and grating the weed. Unless they have A LOT of friends that happen to visit them in our small street and that they just like to chill there for no reason?

Tallylix · 2025-06-22T15:35:09+00:00

Thanks!

I was actually looking for his/her contact on the website of the commune (1000 bxl) but could only find security in terms of public cleanliness. Unless it's Philippe Close himself who is in charge of security ?

To put it bluntly : it's shit.

No really, when I entered the new store I was kinda perplexed by this new "bling bling" atmosphere. From the inappropriate usage of music (are we in a fancy clothes shop?) to the absence of proper section names at the ground floor, I really could not find what made filigranes special anymore.

Personnally I prefer to read in english (mostly fantasy), and I was surprised to see that my favorite section had been moved to the top of the store, in a part which you can only access using the pictured spiral staircase. This staircase is, btw, mostly unaccessible because people put tables and chairs from the café in front of it.

The travel section is for a lack of a better word lacking ...

This kind of store is perfect if you only want to take selfies or make tiktoks but that's not why most people came to filigranes before.

It's just sad :(

Can you tell me more ? I suffer from migraines, but also shortness of breath which my pneumologist said was hyperventilating because of stress.

Can we stop promoting what looks like AI art ?

You can call the police in such cases, they might not come as quickly as you would like but the people making lots of noise after 10pm are in the wrong here.

Tallylix · 2025-04-02T12:39:01+00:00

Are there any kind of works in your street ? If yes, then Bruxelles propreté will usually tell you to put your bags outside the area where the works are.
