Brussels/Belgium - we have a new Tsarina!

[Portofino]

As in ME! link

Caliing Natation who is mistress of Belgian information, and all the others....we should start populating the page with info on schools, nurseries, clubs etc plus events. I will try my hardest to share the up to date info I lay my hands on.

It would be wonderful when we get newbies who are moving to be able to point them in the direction of a mine of info....

Please feel free to tell me if I am getting to up myself

So, Christmas meet up is on 18/12 at 2000?

Restaurant looks good.

Not only is there the St Johns bazaar soon - but the BSB Christmas Bazaar is on 04/12 from 1000-1600 at BSB. Loads of different stalls, and things to buy.

I am a bit put out that both the activities listed are when either we have a friend here, or we will be in the UK.
I'll have to arrange something over this side I think.

So who is going to come see Sinterklaas at Tervuren?

Scary - the BSB one is on there somewhere - you need to look at "all listings"

I've worked out how to get onto the site!

oh please can we change Xmas to Christmas!

I've already seen Sinterklaas in Antwerp. He arrived in the pouring rain. I had already endured an hour and a half of a band of people who were clearly off their tits having a better time than me. Bob the builder in Flemish anyone

belgo, don't tell me you are releasing your inner pedant!

Porto - This is mumsnet!

Kreecher - we will all in Holland for last weekend, Sinterklaas arrived there as well, on the same day strangely enough. We didn;t see him though, we were on the beach flying kites. We managed to miss all of the rain and floods!

So we have agreed on Tuesday, and we will go to cinema, actual film still to be decided.....

Cinema, tuesday, Leuven still?

I vote for Harry Potter!

Longtime's already seen it...

And is she coming tuesday? I am a bit lost. We could go to a restaurant instead if there is nothing decent at the cinema; we'd have to book as they are getting busy.

Well I looked what was on Tuesday:

Harry Potter at 19.30 and 20.30
Unstoppable (with Denzel Washington) at 19.45
The Social Network (Justin Timberlake) at 19.45

I quite like Justin Timberlake, but don't want anything too heavy or violent

Brilliant page with lots of great info! The play sounds great. My kids would love to see a production in English. I'll check my dates and see if we can come along.

I'm keen on the dinner. Monkeysbum, it'll slow you down too much to come and get me though, don't you think?

The page is great porto.
I'm keen for the Christmas dinner, but Monkeysbum, it might be a bit hard for you to swing by here and pick me up. Are you sure there will be time?

oops I didn't think the first one had posted

Frazzle, will be coming virtually past where you live anyway! I don't mind at all either way, so let me know Also, are we still on for Sunday?

I don't mind what we see on Tuesday! Although dinner sounds lovely, I am feeling strong urges to pig out on pic'n'mix

I prefer the other 2 films to Harry Potter I have to say, having never seen or read any of the others.... I would have no clue what was going on!

Frazz - whereabout are you? Woluwe somewhere? Belgo and I will leave from mine, but I am only 10 mins from there so could come get you? I am planning on partaking of wine so might not be much use for the return trip.....

I am talking of the Xmas meal - not the cinema or course but you are

welcome to come to that too.....
