sadly i can't, i only speak dutch with a heavy limburgish accent (i actually saw people thinking 'what bathplugging language is that?' when i was in germany

) but i do understand it good enough because of grandparents speaking local dialects (there is no real 'standard-limburgish'). Basically it's just a mixture between dutch and german with now and then a french or brabantic word. So despite that i don't really speak Limburgish, i pretty much sound Limburgish (except when i speak english, then for some unknown reason i sound slightly irish, must be the beer

)
Just out of pure interest, do you speak walloon or maybe platdiets?

None at all. I'm fluent in both French and English and I'm learning Dutch and German at school.

Every Monday evening, there's a radio show entirely in Walloon, and I try my best to understand a few words. So no, I can't speak Walloon, apart from some very well-known phrases, and certainly no Platdiets (I had no idea that even existed). My dad's parents are from Brussels and my mum's parents are from the Herve plateau and Normandy.

well i don't know how platdiets is called in french, but it's a dialect they speak somewhere between the east cantons and the rest of liège/luik/lütich (whatever you prefer), and it's a mixture between limburgish and ripuaric.
almost nobody knows that it exists, but i do, it is officially accepted as a language of its own in wallonia! Well according to wikipedia at least. I do however have no idea how these languages actually sound, whenever i'm in wallonia, i have conversations in a combination of french, dutch, english and franglais. But walloon people only talk to about reforming the prince-bisphoric of liege and stuff. (crazy - and mostly drunk- people, then again, wallonia is a literal translation of wales, which explains a lot)

Post by **tommykl** » 18 Jun 2011, 17:43

I prefer to call it Liège, after all, that's where I go to school. After checking, I had never heard of Thiois, which is the French term for Platdiets.

But that's the first time I hear of people who want the old Prince-Bishopric back. The Principåté d'Lîdje (how it's called in Walloon - no wonder I can't understand or write much) has been gone for over 200 years. And I don't see a country ruled by a clergyman a very good idea, TBH.

yeah they don't really want a prince-bishop to rule the country. It's just what makes limburg and liege different from the rest of belgium. But yeah, most of the walloons i meet are at the dour festival, which is the most chaotic and vague place in western europe. My idea of walloons being nice but drunk crazy people is probably wrong?

This however leads me to an idea, can someone make a A1GP-like-mod for 'nations that ceased to exist'?

This, however, is a brilliant idea. I wonder what countries we could use...

P.S. I love how a thread about an offline racing league turns into a regionalistic/linguistic/historic discussion between two guys coming from the country with the most bathplugged up politics. Don't believe me? It's been a little over a year since we voted, and still no government. As a stand-up comic said: "Happy bordel to you.", bordel referring to a pile of shite of epic proportions or something in that order.

well eh, everywhere i am, things go off-topic into subjects that no normal person would be interested in and usually people are getting bored, but also wonder why the hell i would want to know such things while i have practically no knowlegde of usefull things
but whenever someone says 'go back on topic' i will do that, don't worry

however what makes this forum better than others, nobody is making a fight, on many forums this would have turned out into a political and racist discussion, here we are just summing up random facts

Then again, belgium's main export product is randomness.

and then to think it all started with my press release

well back on the idea i had: well that could go from coutries like neutral moresnet to the DDR to the aztec empire, as long as it doesn't exist anymore and has existed. I however propose we use a 'famous person from the nation' as a driver (doesn't matter why he was famous)

Kay Lon supports demand for solar-powered engines in F1RWRS

F1RWRS race winner and championship favourite Kay Lon has announced his support to the demand of certain enviromental groups to replace the environment-unfriendly early 90ies engines with new solar-based power plants.

"Since I am not a self-centered douche like certain team owners, I do care about our home planet. Therefore I am very interested in seeing solar-powered engines in our cars.", K. Lon said to the press.

And yes, I am being serious. It would be perfectly rejectful and we would have a good explanations for why we do not have any wet races at all.

As for saying that I tried everything to make Kay Lon slow is disappointing, the evidence is that we had two eqaul cars and Kay Lon was just slow and then he moaned so much that it made Nigel Mansell look like the life and soul of the party after a retirement. Anyway after this race, we will see you in court, better bring your cheque book with you.

And remember that I have an impending court case with you about your bloody awful manners on the track last year at Silverstone, in addition to the court case Barii Mori has against you. Speaking of him, he might want to declare against you in my case, since he was the one who got rear-ended by you.

Ahem, as for my team's performance...we have a lot of work to do for tomorrow. And I appreciate the input Ron is bringing into the paddock about Belgian culture, even though retardeds like Samamamamamamamamamy can't really get onto it.

MRT team boss and Arrowtech driver Daniel Melrose is to lodge a complaint to the F1RWRS Council in Madrid later today over the conduct of current drivers Phoenix McAllister, Sammy Jones and Barry Mori. "The public sledging in the press I can tolerate even if it does nothing good for any of the parties, which is a particular shame for Sammy Jones after coming so close to a World Championship a few years ago, but the court cases are going too far and people have come up to me, especially from various companies who will not be named, saying that they're considering leaving the series as they feel the reputation of the series is being dragged through the dirt. If they want to sort out their differences they should do it outside of the limelight" said Melrose. "It's just an absolute disgrace that this could drag on for so long for such a well known series and it simply has to stop right now."

I think it would be better for everyone to forget about last season, which if McAllister can remember, I was penalised for with a two race ban by the F1RWRS Council. There's absolutely no need to go back through something which has already been resolved, and I suggest that if McAllister is still unsatisfied with the punishment that was dealt to me, then he can go and complain to the F1RWRS Council about me. I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from a back-of-the-grid nutter of a team manager belly aching over something that no-one cares about any more!

F1RWRS Council send a warning to big mouths

The F1RWRS council has been called into an urgency meeting regarding the press coverage bonanza some team owners are getting lately by discrediting some of their rivals. "Of course there must be rivalry, and team owners are, by nature, going to disagree with their colleagues, but we´ve noticed some of them going too far with their words lately. The council has decided not to take any action this time, but we want to send a warning; we won´t tollerate any personal ofences from now on, and we´re going to award penalties where it hurts the most: Credits (race bans for drivers). Any disrespectful and ofensive language will be penalised with anything from 50 to 500 credits, with no exceptions. We remind the team owners that this is a sport, and that the regulations everyone signed already foresee this, in particular Article 15.4, section C: "Penalties can be awarded to any team, driver or any other team member if they consistently fail to show commitment for the good of the sport. Penalties can also be provided if a team, team owner or any other team member, including drivers, bring the sport to disrespectful practices or damage the global image of the sport""

Autosport wrote:MRT sign up Kekkonen, Christopherson

Melrose Racing Team has signed up former Team Phoenix driver Jari Kekkonen as their third and test driver in the wake of the sacking of Frank Zimmer at Horizon Motorsport and his replacement Vidal Reyna Sanchez moving over from MRT to take over the vacant seat. "Kekkonen is a talented driver in his own right and he deserves another chance. MRT will give him plenty of time in our state of the art simulator at Munich as well as allow him to do testing at most of the test sessions" said MRT team owner Daniel Melrose.

In addition to Kekkonen, former Grand Prix winner Jack Christopherson has been signed on in MRT's driver mentor. "I've worked with Jack in the past and his vast experience at the pinnicle of motorsport that is Formula One amongst other championships made him the ideal candidate for the job. All the drivers in all the championships will be able to speak to him at any time and vice versa."

After the F1RWRS said that teams should not do anything to bring any bad light to the sport, it is believed that Kamaha have officially requested that the F1RWRS council arbitrate between themselves and ex employee Kay Lon as they do not want to be fine or punished if they take the driver to court. Kamaha are unhappy with the performances and attitude of Kay Lon at the start of the season before being fired and quickly employed by Jones Racing where he raced a lot better, Kamaha say they have evidence to show that Kay Lon was just driving badly and they are seeking to obtain the lost credits they spent on Kay Lon at least. No parties were available to comment.

There are strong rumours that Nissan may end the technical tie up that Kamaha and Sunshine Infiniti have at the moment, Orange may pull out of sponsorship of Kamaha and Oreo may do the same with Jones Racing.

Autosport wrote:Sponsor cuts short contract with Jones Racing

The secondary sponsor of Jones Racing, that of Oreo Biscuits, has announced today that they intend to cut short a two year sponsorship deal struck at the start of this season with the team. A spokesman for the company stated that,

"Whilst we feel that the tie-up with Jones Racing has been very profitable for our business, we feel we can no longer be associated with the negative publicity surrounding their driver Kay Lon and his former team Kamaha. We will continue to sponsor the team for the remainder of this season, but from that point the contract will cease to exist. We'd like to thank Jones Racing for their co-operation and goodwill in this matter."

Team owner Sammy Jones also added,

"Naturally we're very disappointed that Oreo have decided to end the contract we have with them early, but we fully understand their situation and accept it. There is absolutely no question over Castrol's commitment as our main sponsor, and we look forward to many more fruitful seasons in a strong partnership with them. The search is now under-way to fill the void left by Oreo's departure in time for the start of next season."
