Don't forget:

Jackie Ickx ( Formula 1 driver )
          OR
Kim Clijsters ( Tennis Player )

What about Hercule Poirot, he was Belgiums most famous detective. Thev'e feautured many of his cases on the television.

It's also famous for the chocolate and it's beer that's good enough for me count me in!!!!

Oh dear, it appears that my attempt to be mildly Quixotic has rather mis-fired, and anyway you have all missed the greatest Belgian of them all, Jaques Brell - so there !!! ( & Van de Valk was a Belgian - I know he was fictional, but his creator Nicolas Freeling was Belgian..so there ) T.J.
and while wer'e at it-& off the top of my head, how about : Rubens; Magritte; Bosch; Bosman (he of the transfer business); Eddie (the beast) Mercx & the lovely Audrey Hepburn..........I am sure there are many more but I cant be arsed.....see you Tuesday

You are right to question whether Belgium is a country because they have no Government and don't look like getting one. Can't see how they can exist unless the Flems (or is it Phlegms) and the Woloons come to a decision and go for self rule then there'll be two countries. Never mind if we're patient those unelected twats in Brusselles will have us all in regions in one big State.

I think you are all a bit sad and have nothing better to do with your time than come it with these so-called famous Belgians!!

Message for Karen W - At the DK10k tonight Ken & Chris asked me to tell you that they won't be at our 10k run as they are on holiday & they wanted you to know.

Oh. How sad, I'm having difficulty hiding my disappointment !!

Hi All. I've heard via another running club that the Birmingham and Black Country Half Marathon race is limited to 1000 entries and these are filling up fast. Apparently entries will on 5th June. So if anyone is interested in entering best do it fast.


Rachel

Looks like we might have more chance in running this one than the October Birmingham Half Marathon which still has no information on its one page web site.

I've given up googling Belgians by the way

I sympathise entirely Jane. I fell off my bike a week ago and have just begun light training after a bruised hip. Don't listen to that nasty, huge carbon footprinting Waple. Bikes are for the sustainably aware.

Jane, sorry to hear about your accident - best to take water with all that gin !! or, as Penny says 'excercise is bad for you' love
Tony

Well said Penny !! I whole heartedly agree.

Jane always has a good splash of Gin with her water, I believe she's partial to a nice long Malibu too.
