Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostThe trouble with Belgians is that EVERYBODY surrounding them takes the piss out of them. The Dutch tell the same pathetic jokes about the Belgians as the Brits always told about the Irish. The French take the piss out of their accent. The Luxembourgers just take the money and don't care and the Germans think Belgium's a potholed motorway on the way to France. You can't blame them for having a pomme frite on their shoulder.
