There was a bomb scare (but with actual stuff found) in Munich this week on the underground and that was a religious nutter but a local geezer just a bit pissed off.

Exactly...looking round the office I can only see three sets of jug-ears so it definitely ain't true.

No, none of that multi-cultural, home-grown ethnic community trying to bring destruction on everyone else b*ll*cks as you have in the UK. But a decent plot involving the locals planning to bring down the government.

The Flemish papers have a bit more detail:

"The suspects, 7 civilians and 10 army personel, had in their posession various firearms, landmine detonators, a large munitions cache, explosives and homemade bombs along with bullet-proof vests and gasmasks"

Who said Belgium is a quiet place with just beer and chocolates?

I love it here - they are 24 carat loons and sometimes lack more than a wee bit of self-awareness. One of my hobbies is starting casual political conversations with locals as it never fails to raise a chuckle (especially the inter-community rants.)

One regular bit of banter with a flemish mate here always ends with him going off on one about how all the ex-pats think the flemish are a bunch of right wing nuts (VB 25%+?) - this "blood and honour" mob should provide some ammo for the next round!
