I'm a very good navigator! Belgium is that island next to Cyprus, right? So I will take the route via Tokio, that's a shortcut.

I'll explain what snooker is in German now, since it's quite difficult for me in English.

Also, großer Billardtisch, 15 rote und 7 andersfarbige Kugeln. Die roten werden unten im Dreieck aufgesetzt, die anderen kommen auf bestimmte Punkte auf dem Tisch. Rote Kugeln zählen einen Punkt, die anderen von gelb bis schwarz 2 bis 7 Punkte. Man muss immer zuerst eine Rote anspielen, wenn man die versenkt hat, darf man eine Farbige auswählen. Farbige die versenkt werden, werden aus der Tasche genommen und auf ihren Platz zurück gelegt. Man muss immer abwechselnd rot, farbig spielen. Sind keine roten mehr da, werden die Farbigen in ihrer Reihenfolge gespielt. Es gewinnt wer am meisten Punkte hat. Das waren jetzt die Kurzregeln. Ist wesentlich schwerer als normales Billard, weil der Tisch größer ist, die Taschen kleiner und die Kugeln kleiner.
Hast du das noch nie auf Eurosport gesehen??? Musst du mal schauen. Ist superspannend wenn man auf Taktik steht.

No I´ve never seen it Sascha,all i watch Bikerasing...and the trip over Tokio sound good ....and I make sure to check Snookers out so I can beat you

[mayday]

[Flammenschwert]

By the way, I haven't seen Susan or Phil for a while. Did anybody hear from them?

[mayday]

[Flammenschwert]

Has everybody already gone to bed???? Where is this heated discussion we're used to have around that time?

[Hilde Bogaerts]

right, going to sleep now...feeling a bit sick...hope to feel better in the morning!! Goodnight Europe!!

[Phil in Paris]

Hey Europe !!!!

Gosh you all speak a lot !!! Well, I'm happy to see that Rose Barbara and Abelle will join our G2G

I was not on line those last days, and won't be much those next days, cause my roomy and I are repainting our apartment !!! So my place is now a real mess (we're not professional) and my computer is unplugged. When I'm at work, I'm toooooooo much tired to stay long online !!!

Anyway, I'm still planning to come to Belgium in September. What's the nearest airport Kiev or Vladivostock ???

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Phil

[Hilde Bogaerts]

Hey Phil!!! I knew you would be back soon...glad to see you...Wow, painting...Okay, it is a bit like playing snooker so I heard; well to watch it dry anyway, ask mister Kiddo, he knows all about it....say Phil, I thought for work you were a night receptionist in a hotel...do tell me, if you are too tired to stay online too long, then it is not that you fall asleep is it??? I mean, you are supposed to stay awake, right?
never mind...you will be okay soon and whats the colour you are painting in??? I am sure you miss your computer....but we will still be here when you get back....

[Flammenschwert]

Good morning Europe,
I'm so tired..... why does this Frenchie paint his appartment now. I guess it's just that you can make the snooker - paint - joke. That's the only reason he does it.
No, Phil don't take the route via Kiev, it's too bumpy there. Go Dheli - Tokiyo - Kasterlee in stead. It should be a bit longer than Kiev, but the road is better.

[Hilde Bogaerts]

hey mister Kiddo...you know...I did like my joke about the paint...i did, you might be right , thats the only reason he is painting....
so why are you so tired??? played too many roles last night??? well, I am headed for my doctors appointment...my own doctor is on holliday...any time I feel sick, she has to be out of the country...and that leaves me with a doctor I don't know...I hate things like that...don't know why this always happens to me....you know what, I think i am tired as well....see ya in a while

[Flammenschwert]

I wish you good luck at the doctor's. Well, I watched 2 movies last night, and it got pretty late. I guess that's why I'm tired.

[Rostonhall]

Thought I'd just say good morning before I get out in the sun. Yes, we have sun today in London!!!

It looks as if I'm going to be the oldest one in September at the ripe old age of 58 (or I will be in a few weeks) but I'm still very young in my mind. I just don't recognise that old lady when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror!!!

Rose

[Flammenschwert]

Good morning Rose. Wow, it's sunny in London. When I've been to London, I was cloudy the whole week long.

[Hilde Bogaerts]

did you really meant to say that YOU were cloudy all week Sascha? Well, goodmorning, well noon...to you and Rose...hey whats age anyway? so...the doctor...I think I need to come lok at those trees of your Rose and learn how to relax and take it easy...all i have is stress...I mean, here I am feeling all sick and misserable, and it is just stress...weel, I am glad it is that, but, I mean...ME?? Stress...where did that come from and how did it attack me this way?? on top of that, I am studying to be a psycholigist...think I better put it all on hold for a while...I can't even take care of myself....oh well....

[Flammenschwert]

Where is the edit button????
Of course I meant it was cloudy, didn't use any drugs, so I wasn't cloudy.
The doctor told you, you were stressed? To me that sounds as if he didn't find anything and told you it was stress so that you have an answer. So lay down, put your feet up and sleep. Then you will feel better.
What will happen when we all meet at your house. That will be stress. Sure you can take all that stress at your age??

Rose, how's Whisper doing? I hope she's doing better now.

[Hilde Bogaerts]

well, the doctor is a she, and although it was not my own doctor, I do think she knew what she was talking about...but, I did not like the answer...o well, my age is no problem kiddo...so no worries...i have all these vitamins now, I am sure I will be okay in no time...so, I think I will go to sleep now, thanks Kiddo....you do know how to make me feel all better...not

[Flammenschwert]

Of course you will be okay in no time. Your kids will be very nice to you and take over the household chores, so that you can relax. Have you already been to that new coffee house which is always closed when you want to go there?

[Hilde Bogaerts]

my kids will take over???...really?, no one told me yet, or them...Son number one is at university , son numebr two needs surgery friday and daughter is at the most famous amusementpark in the area...of course, it is in Kasterlee...so...no kids in sight....the coffee house, well I was going this afternoon, guess I will wait a while now, to make sure they are open when I come....but I did get coffee at the market already, Costa Rica...hmmmmmmm...very good....so no starbucks needed, just yet.

[Flammenschwert]

Don't wait too long, or they will be closed again.
You never need Starbucks. There's much better coffee around. I surely want to see this coffee house when I come to Belgium. Tell them not to go out of business until I come.

[Flammenschwert]

To come a bit further with the planning:
Okay, let's see what we have:
Who will come: Hilde, Phil, Susan, Rose, me
Who will maybe come: Barbara, Susanne, Soraya, did I forget anyone?
We have a place to sleep.
To eat, we can get veal at employees dicount prices. Rose will bring whiskey, I will bring beer. What else can we eat and drink?
Hilde has told about the cultural and sight seeing opportunities.
What else do we need?? Ideas anyone?

[Hilde Bogaerts]

ohhhh don't forget the coffee shop...(unlike the Dutch ones, you can not get drugs in this one, only coffee and thee and writing stuff(i think) well, good thing you have everything all figured out this far...very good of you Sascha...;keep up the good work...

[Flammenschwert]

No drugs in Belgian coffee shops??????? How shall I survive this weekend without drugs????? No, honestly, I don't use drugs. Then we will need a computer network, so that we can all log onto PTO at the same time.

[susan the finn]

I'll bring some finnish delicatesses LMAO I know most of our food looks like gros but tastes better And salmiakki...Sascha you are studying chemistry right? You can make your own salmiakki then! It's said in dictionary: "Salmiakki is choloride of ammonia, which crystallizes in the cubic system. It's used in chemical analysis, in medicine, in dry batteries as a soldering flux and also in textile painting." And we all eat it in September!

[Flammenschwert]

Okay, then it's NH4Cl, it's a white powder, that looks colorless in crystals. You should better not heat it up, because the gases are harmful to the skin. Industry produces megatons of it in side-reactions, but has no use for it in these amounts. You don't want to tell me that you eat this stuff????? Bring it along anyway, I'd like to try it. If it's good, I can get kilos of it from the lab.

[susan the finn]

LMAO IT's very good! Here's a picture of that stuff...whole page is in german, just scroll down
