I will accept the bye. And as a story, I'm thinking another political crisis turning bad, with Bart de Wever completely blocking everyone and everything from entering or leaving the country. How's that?

Sounds good enough for me. Thankfully we have that solved.

Why would he bother blocking you inferior Walloons? Perhaps your team was in Brussels (at the Wafflesports team presentation for example) and he invaded Brussels, as it obviousy belongs to the great nation of Flanders. Thankfully, your dear leader Di Rupo came to personally rescue you.


I also should mention Brussels Waffles are superior to Liège waffles (epic team rivalry coming )

Or better yet, my team was in Brussels for the presentation, and the crisis actually started with Eric Bachelart inviting a Liègeois waffle stand next to the traditional Bruxellois ones. Sounds good enough?

Jupiler Pro League 2011-12 Standings;
2nd Club Brugge 61pts
4th Standard Liège 51pts

Therefore, I declare your accusation of Brussels > Liège as valid

Liège might get the Expo 2017. Liège has a coffee named after it despite not even coming from it. Liège gets the Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Grand Départ for this year's Trour de France. Charlemagne was born in Liège. Liège has the Carré, period. Liège gave the world the electrical motor and Jean-Marc Bosman.

Need I say more?

except that your argument is invalid as Brugge is not from Brussels at al , though Anderlecht is, which still makes the argument valid.
To prove my argument even further in similar style, the second most succesful Brussels team, Union Sint Gilloise, still has more titles (11) than Standard Liège (10), and is still active.
All Brussels teams together make 54, with Liège only 15.

Brussels also have a statue of a naked kid taking a pee, and a building made of steel (actually inox) balls. Which all proves the city is superior.

And has better waffles. The Liègois are just brainwashing people with their waffle stands everywhere!

Brussels has sprouts, your argument is invalid

EPIC BRAIN FAIL. WTF was I thinking? Really? Bruges = Brussles? Man, that was such a stupid mistake

But yeah, Anderlecht are also way better than Standard. But, there is one thing I have to disagree, and that is, after trying both, Liège waffles taste better than Brussles waffles

[Nessafox]

Nobody cares about the taste, it's all about the passion that's into making the waffles!

(actually Standard has the nicest stadium in Belgium, and the one RFC Liège had until 1995 was even better) And as much as i hate RSCA, they are important for my arguments that Brussels waffles are far superior to Liège waffles

I do have a proposal for Tommy to solve all discussions: lets' start a brewery that creates waffle-jenever

I'm eating a lacquemant. Your argument is invalid.

Oh, and we have a staircase with 374 steps as a street.

[AdrianSutil]

Just wading in here quickly, doesn't Brugge have the world's smallest window too? I went to Brugge once for a weekend, lovely place. Ok I'll leave now...

Brussels has the best concert hall in Belgium - The Ancienne Belgique - which i'm going to tonight

=== ST. PETERSBURG STREET CHALLENGE - RACE 2 ===

Grid:
1.: Michael Caruso - Garry Rogers SRL Motorsport (Group B) - 1'00.721
2.: Jason Bargwanna - Garry Rogers SRL Motorsport (Group B) - 1'00.796
3.: Michael Schumacher - Aeroracing Engineering (Group D) - 1'00.877
4.: Jose Maria Lopez - Mustafaa Racing (Group F) - 1'01.312
5.: Stephane Sarrazin - 555 Racing (Group B) - 1'01.313
6.: François Duval - Wafflesports (Group F) - 1'01.358
7.: Toshihiro Arai - 555 Racing (Group B) - 1'01.431
8.: Claudio Langes - Mustafaa Racing (Group F) - 1'01.433
9.: Kamui Kobayashi - Team Holden (Group F) - 1'02.286
10.: Alain Prost - Aeroracing Engineering (Group D) - 1'02.323
11.: Vladimir Chagin - Wafflesports (Group F) - 1'02.483
12.: HWNSNBM - Team Holden (Group F) - 1'03.307
13.: Giovanna Amati - Trueba Corse (Group D) - 1'03.502
14.: Gilles Panizzi - Prada Grand Prix (Group D) - 1'03.906
15.: Jean Alesi - Top Gun Racing (Group B) - 1'04.253
16.: Sebastien Loeb - Prada Grand Prix (Group D) - 1'04.558
17.: Andrea de Cesaris - Top Gun Racing (Group B) - 1'05.074

Of course groups B, D and F need to determine who has to leave the season. Jose Maria Lopez does what he needs to after both cars of Garry Rogers ram it into the wall and finishes first, securing six points for his team which inevitably led to Mustafaa Racing making the knockout round and winning their group. Speaking of Garry Rogers SRL Motorsport, they must be fuming right now: Like all drivers in Group B, they retired (although they were the only ones who were at fault for that) and that leaves them with the least amount of points in Group B, ending the hopeful run of the Australian team, making them join Skoda Team Cyprus as favourites who did not survive the new group stage concept. Another close battle happened between Prada Grand Prix and Trueba Corse with the latter just making the cut. We have our second round participants and are heading out to find the participants for the great final.

25.: Andrea de Cesaris - Top Gun Racing (Group B) - 1'10.170

After the first six teams were eliminated from competition it is now about finding out which five teams have the honour of actually fighting for the championship. Together with the teams that advanced to this round, Gillet Ecurie Nationale Belge tried their luck after political turmoil left the team unable to compete with the other teams - perhaps Kay Lon allowed them in in order to be considered by the squad for a 2014 drive in F1RWRS. However, even being allowed to appear despite not making it through the first round, they were utterly unsuccessful: qualifying on the back of the grid before having one of their car finish dead last. Two teams were the complete opposite of that: Euromotor, who ruled this weekend, only having Gachot's retirement stain it, and Martini Racing who gave themselves a good shot at making the finals by scoring six points. Claudio Langes worked pretty well and finished second, five valuable points for Mustafaa Racing. Two drivers who could have made an impact were Michael Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya, however they failed to do their job and crashed into each other. Amusingly, Jerome D'Ambrosio ran into that duo only a few seconds after their racing accident.

Race Result:
1. (1.): Heinz-Harald Frentzen - Euromotor - 42'41.415
2. (4.): Claudio Langes - Mustafaa Racing - +36.780
