Porcy Mane Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think so. And good for evacuating the bowels. Still leaves us with Dionysus being Greek which ain't a bad think considering this alcohol thingy is all Greek to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Well it might not be possible to name 5 famous Belgians who are not ficitonal ... Vanden Plas , Walschaerts, Herge, Eddie Mercx ,Van Dyke, Adolphe Sax Aha! A challenge. Eddie Merckx was a Belgian cyclist Adolphe Sax invented the Saxophone René Magritte was a surrealist painter Eugène Ysaÿe was a violinist Hergé, real name Georges Prosper Remi, wrote the Tintin books. I've heard of the company but I wouldn't call Guillaume van den Plas famous. Never heard of Merckx or Ysaÿe. Yes to Sax, Magritte, Hergé, Walschaerts and Anthony Van Dyke, so I guess that's five. Hardly a very famous five. I think it goes to prove the original premise. It really is hard to come up with five famous Belgians without resorting to Google or brewers.

Porcy Mane Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Audrey Hepburn Awe, come on! Aud wasn't even half Belgian. AND she kept a pet deer, so at least she qualifies for the funny thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Age is catching up with him. As I get older, my social life seems to have deteriorated, but I'm not yet desperate enough to have to go to that sort of party! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG John Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 ....but not for spotting accidental innuendo. The other way round I'm afraid. Why read what's intended into something, when looking for the unintended is so much more satisfying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
