I'm here in Brussels with Chef now and he's definitely gay.

Really he is.

Take the underground to Brussels nord station, have a walk up and down the Rue d'Aerschot. I am sure you will find somewhere

I'm catching the Eurostar back to the UK soon and have a 2hr stop over in Brussels.

Start queuing for customs/security right now.

The eurostar goes from the South station which is called 'Midi', not speaking Flemish, i assumes that Midi meant middle and headed back to Brussels centre, missed the train and had an expensive journey home.

Midi is the French word for the geographical direction South. The Flemish word is Zuid.

The station is Bruxelles Midi (French) or Brussel Zuid (Flemish).

Any ideas on a good place to eat/drink nearby the eurostar station?

Last time I was there I went directly outside and sat in the very tacky place filled with drunks. This time as gf chef is with me then I'd like to find somewhere a bit better.

Yep, opposite the main entrance of the station in a modern square, a huge restaurant serving good oysters and lobsters. Can't remember the name though.

We can have a receipt-a-thon, I have loads! Found some A1 bars, not tacky, more like olde worlde UK ones are supposed to be, I love it here!

Go round the hotels and ask them if you can get a room for an hour - "so you can shower".

You and Stek could have a session in his room if you can give him a few receipts IMO...
