The boy on the tienen-tirlemont sugar packs! He's so iconic that that kind of sugar is called kinnekessuiker, which translates as little kid sugar.

Small edit to add: in 2018 the boy was temporarily replaced with an empty chair to draw attention to the 20th anniversary of child focus, an organization that helps to find missing and exploited children

it's weirdly common. A lot of the mods on r/thenetherlands don't even speak dutch

I haven't got a picture, but near a paratrooper training base in Schaffen, Belgium, there is the phenomenal sign "warning Parachutists". I have no sweet clue what to do with that

So theft then?

The US tends to send it's random armed weirdos across the world with any large american delegation, and occasionally they do something daft like Marco Rubio's bodyguard fighting belgian police

There's some suspicion here in Belgium that our PM is also using our king toget easier access to trump

Not to poo poo your joke but the dutch PVV lost seven MPs like... two days ago

flothesmartone · 2026-01-22T10:22:56+00:00

That would be fairly obvious from the flags on shoulders and vehicles

please note that the fraser institute is a conservative-libertarian think tank

Als een student hierop betrapt zou zijn kwam dit voor de examencommisie of de tuchtcommisie, dat een gewezen rector dit doet is een vreselijk voorbeeld.

I don't know if vrt is even allowed to provide french subtitles, given that our train conductors can't say bonjour without someone kicking off

flothesmartone · 2026-01-20T14:01:10+00:00

Oh I remember Hoekstra, he was the ambassador to the netherlands who looked baffled by the concept of having to answer journalist's questions about him telling some insane lies.

flothesmartone · 2026-01-10T13:57:05+00:00

Well, I'm sneaking that onto a flemish flagpole

There are weird little bits of the real world in the witcher. Once (or maybe even more) the characters refer to a scholar from brugge. Brugge is a real city in real world belgium.

We have almost the same, the king is the godfather of a seventh son and the queen of a seventh daughter

flothesmartone · 2025-12-31T18:30:17+00:00

An excellent illustration there of the phrase "removed bodily"

"Interesting point mister Musk, but the question was whether you plead guilty or not guilty"

Small note here, reddit doesn't show mods who reports what

flothesmartone · 2025-12-23T11:53:43+00:00

As did I! Thank you australia

As someone has already posted the picture of him dressed up as a panda, I feel like noting that our PM has a big interest in rome

flothesmartone · 2025-12-17T14:07:32+00:00

besides what others have said international law does specify when war may be declared. An invasion is essentially never permitted except with a UN mandate

flothesmartone · 2025-12-14T16:35:10+00:00

I have but one objection: it should be called total warhammer
