When I went there 3 years ago it was excellent from morning till dusk. Couldn't agree more. Took a big group of school kids there back in 2017 and it was wonderful. Great restaurants too (other than the obvious 'Ypres' stuff, which is tragic and interesting). Went there when I was in Year 9 back in about 2001 and it was just as interesting when I returned. EDIT: Come to think of it, Bruges is great as is Brussels. Honestly felt very at home there. We were staying in Ostend, which I also liked. Just liked all of it to be honest. puddlethumper, Jerzy Woking and Fumbler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or Belgium works despite its Government rather than because of it. I think it’s an interesting experiment that proves countries work rather well with no politicians.

BorniteIdentity Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Not a day goes by when I don't think about some scummy fuck pinching my catalytic converter. Being a Toyota, plenty of mouth breathing work dodgers would happily put themselves under 1200kg of car with just a bottle jack in order to bag a windfall. One of the buxom ladies just chased some scum out of the road as they eyed up a neighbour's Honda - literally 30 seconds away from here. I'm sort of resigned to having it stolen. If I could be arsed I'd probably take it off myself and go "straight through" until this sort of nonsense cools down a bit. I can't see anything else I can do; security marking is pointless as I doubt these gentlemen are selling through the legitimate channels. Fucks. Sakes.

I'd definitely take it off myself (and probably weigh it in TBH) just to prevent some shithead doing the same. Surely if they weight in at £5/600, if you go to an exhaust place and say "take this cat off, weld us a pipe in place" then even if you pay them, you're still up on the deal It just depends on how friendly your MOT tester is.

You can get YT premium by using a free VPN and signing up with a fake address in India, just use an address generator and a fee free card, it costs me around £1.30 a month, you can then just turn the VPN off and use it normally, I've been doing it for a year or so, its quite a saving. ) Delete all YouTube apps 2) Change VPN location to India 3) Search for YouTube premium on google 4) Click the link, should come up as 129 rupees per month which is £1.25 5) Use a card that doesn’t charge international fees such as clarity card. 6) use a address generator to fill in details and pay...

The moment they jack up the car they'll see it's more trouble than it's worth and move on to the next one. You never need to make anything absolutely secure, just more secure than the next one.
